Rasperry Pi board easily cost hundreds of dollars, too, once the scalpers have bought up the little stock that is there.

Re: Raspberry Pi 5
#312I'm happy that they're upgrading the pi, but it's not exactly lightweight computing in terms of power (they recommend a 27W PSU) or performance/watt (see: your cell phone) To me the charm of the raspi ecosystem was always in giving you a very low power, "always on, almost no power draw" linux environment. Oh well, I guess there's always the older versions or the zero for that.
Yeah my intel atom NUCs run at 5W idle and 10W load and they're a ton faster than a pi 4. Probably a pi 5 too. It's not very impressive. And that's with a real SSD.
Yeah, the intel n100 is absolutely fantastic. but even at bargain basement price its at least 2-4x the price:

I have the above, it's max powerdraw is From what I've seen the pi5 is 1/3rd faster than the intel j5005. (in pybench at least.)
but comparing to a real intel NUC, of course its going to be faster, the NUC costs an entire order of magnitude more.

#313If the PCI-e bridge makes PI-powered home-NAS enclosures popular it'll probably squeeze the low-end networked NAS market quite a bit since they're usually powered by less powerful hardware (Arm/Celeron chips with 1-2 gb of mem).
Been looking at some compact/silent replacement for my aging home-server and NAS boxes were at the top of the list but the CPUs were crap or prices high, and everyone was shipping their own weird linux-based distros. Knowing that it'll be likely that software will work on a Raspberry and these hardware specs then it looks like a contender now.

#314I wonder if anyone here is using RPi as a main PC? Seems to be capable of most office work with a bit of multimedia on the side. My laptop is dying and I would love to get something stationary that is low-power by default yet good enough so that the internet wouldn't lag. Mounted at the back of an LCD screen could make a nice wireless setup with the other peripherals.
Na it’s too slow.
I got one and I don’t touch it. I do also have an orange pi 5 and khandas edge 2 pro. Both are miles ahead of the rpi4 and based on specs they are miles ahead of the rpi5.

I've only ever paid RRP and I strongly suggest you do to. Better yet, there are plenty of Pi 4 to purchase these days.
yes, these days. let's have a look at the last three years and see how it was then...
Why is that interesting? Are we expecting another global semiconductor supply chain problem?

#316Smaller form factor, but same price as a second hand ThinkCentre Tiny, a complete, powerful, and extensible PC.

#317Does this finally have UEFI by default?

The SD is the worst for reliability, but if it's like rpi4, you can put UEFI on the SPI flash and come up on non-SD boot devices without SD now.
But that's all kind of crazy when cheaper, faster SBCs commonly simply boot to reliable, on-board, eMMC.

Nobody said anything about not having NTP in the loop! Here's the deal: RPi The first thing we did was deliver 12V down the wire with a high quality power supply. Then we used UBEC buck converter modules (intended for RC quadcopters) to deliver power directly into the Pi via its pins. However, even now you're just chasing physics. There's no way to send a command to all of the Pis to do something right now . Instead,…
Oh my.. Please, can you share more about it? Some NDAs about the function of that pi fleet?
We've synchronised multiple Pi's to fractions of a millisecond, with flash systems with accuracy in the microseconds for specialised motion capture. Happy to discuss if you're interested - I'm on at 'tessierlabs . com' (without spaces).
Re: Raspberry Pi 5
#320anyone could tell me how did you use raspberry pi?
Yes! I’ve used RPi SBCs for various purposes over time: - One early RPi I bought when RPi was very new to the market. I played around with it for a while and then I put it in a drawer. - Months later I pulled it out of the drawer and started hosting my website on it for a while. I have since moved on from using RPi at home for hosting any of my sites. Might do again at some point in time. - I use an SBC as one of the…
If you pair the raspberry pi with cache in cloudfare I think you can host on it - I haven't tried it myself, but have been thinking about it.
