But the software for other SBCs is extremely bad, I've never heard of any Pi on release or after that has any software or hardware bugs. Proprietary blobs aren't that bad with Broadcom...

Baseline RAM Pi are still magnitudes cheaper, its a moot/niche above 2GB for most makers. Pi doesn't have to cater to lite servers only...

Gotta admit that Pi foundation never cared about batteries, especially since it's common with makers, audio removal etc...

I love all Geerling's projects, writings, and videos over the years. I was actually concerned that based on the brevity of the title that something tragic had happened. Glad that's not the case!

Same, especially since he has shared a lot about his Crohn disease online https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2022/crohns-disease-takes-...

Pi4 2GB with power source, SD card, case, fan is like $100. You can have nice Atom MiniPC for that. Or old PC from ebay...

Before clicking on the link I thought you meant he was writing articles on Ansible and putting his non-Ansible opinions in the same articles. I have no problem with him writing his thoughts on his blog, whether they are on Ansible, abortion, or anything else.

But these are used, cheap new Atom miniPC doesn't have GPIO, and brand new Atom SBCs with GPIO are more $$$ with the same SoC compared to miniPC since they aren't mass produced. A used Pi with sdcard/case/fan is much less than $40.

It (the 5) has a hw HEVC decoder, just no encoder

What's uncomfortable about it? Good people will have different opinions than you on controversial issues. Understanding that is the cornerstone of a tolerant liberal society.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
