Overrated? No.
Overpriced? Yes.I’d be all about those things if you could buy 20 of them for 50 bucks.
It used to be $30. That’s why it goy popular. Broligarchs ruined that along with everything else too.
and yet here we are, using a meme depicting a wife abusing piece of shit.
I got a couple Pi Zeros for $5 each. For years they both have been significantly contributing to my quality of life by blocking ads on two networks with Pi Hole software.
Ayyyyy same use case here
The Pi was revolutionary when it first came out, there had never been a device with its combination of small size, compute capability and low price before. But over time other devices have caught up if not exceeded the Pi’s capabilities and it no longer stands out in any particular way.
Can you share some links?
I like your hair
Can you share some links?
I know this isn’t exactly what you said or what happened, but it’s funny to imagine that’s what happened, and I’m gonna poker face try to use it.
I’m not sure what kind of links you’re looking for, but there are plenty of sites with the history of the Pi series available with a simple search.

If this is true, it’s great news to me, and I’d like you to show me where I can get a nice, cheap, well-supported single board computer.
Nothing is cheap any more, not even (perhaps especially) the Raspberry Pi, but there are plenty of options out there with similar specs, sizes and prices. The Raspberry offerings are no longer unique as they were when it first released.
Okay great. Please share examples.
(If you don’t respond or reply without examples, I’m not going to reply to it, but everyone reading this is gonna know that you’re talking out of your ass.)

Many people are going for Mini PCs now, which are obviously larger than the Pi, but can be found for similar prices and offer x86-64 rather than ARM as most SBCs do.
Happy?
Do you have a preference among these? Particularly for light-weight home servers and simple networked devices like a security camera?
Yes, very. Thank you.
Running a NanoPi R76S as a home router with OpenWRT. Thing’s amazing.
the Pi was never the important thing. the community around it was always the big draw. that community inspired a whole generation of DIYers and people interested in STEM. the impact of the Pi is understated, if anything, because that community branched out to other devices and tech.
I agree that it is overrated, but I do also think that it still has value and is legitimately pretty cool. It’s nice that it’s so tiny and cheap and easy to set up in like under an hour. Low power consumption for simple things that are nice to run all the time makes it feel pretty friendly on the environment versus running a whole desktop computer or server 24-7.
Yet, like many things that are really good, there ends up being a lot of people who want to sing its praises from the heavens as being not just really good, but the greatest thing ever. And so indeed the Pi is also overrated despite being really cool
isn’t that some bad dude or sth … i heard rumors
It’s a pretty bad dude, yeah.
I just started with my new project, a table top retro arcade machine. Using a raspi 5 is the best I can get now, even overpriced. The prices are through the roof for thin clients or mini PC so my planning shiftet to raspi again.
If you have another suggestion I am open for it. I should be capable to run under Batocera and emulate up to Gen 6.
Yes, you do wonder. Glad I could answer that for you.
Get a new meme format, or I’m going to continue to assume you like Steven Crowder and are, in fact, an ignorant bigoted crybaby nepo-turd.
PREACH OP!
