#2It looks like the corporate arm of the Raspberry Pi company is trying to go public, despite denying it the past. [0]
It has already been admitted.

#3Completely unrelated but front of mind for me since I had a project die this morning - I really wish they'd release a Pi with eMMC storage instead of just the SD card. I know theres alternatives but none of them have the same community and support as the Pi.

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module has eMMC storage.

Check out the Compute Module and something like the Piunora: https://www.crowdsupply.com/diodes-delight/piunora (bonus: you can also use NVMe storage).

eMMC is literally an "embedded" version of the same storage media as SD cards. If you're worried about your SD card media dying on you then eMMC is strictly worse; SD cards are at least socketed so when one dies you can just replace it. With eMMC you'd have to desolder the chip.

I hope they get you writing on this geerlingguy - really enjoy your Raspberry Pi investigations.

Yeah now it's just a matter of time till someone makes a dock for it that isn't 1 square mile in area: https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/compute-module-4-io-boa....

It's a bit finicky to get working/set up (make absolutely certain that your USB to SATA adapter has proper UAS support in ARM Linux), but you can boot the Pi4 off of a USB SSD now. Still might not be what you need, but it's way better than booting from an SD card.

In my experience, SD cards and eMMC chips on the Raspberry Pi Compute Modules are night and day in terms of reliability.
Brand-name SD cards will fail in 6-12 months of running a typical mostly-idle Linux installation (yes, I've heard it all: power supply quality, improper shutdowns, counterfeit cards, etc. etc. It doesn't matter - SD cards just die all the time)
I've yet to see an eMMC chip fail on a Compute Module. I'm aware of one Computer Module that's been running for around 3 years as a CI/build machine, so it's under a pretty write-heavy load all the time. I expected it to last 3 months. It has not died (yet).
