Thread 106326750

Why did they discontinue the $35 Raspberry Pi? What if I only need 1GB of RAM and don't want to pay an extra $15 for something I don't need?

buy an used one, idiot

>>106326750 (OP)
> $35
Its due to that price point.
Tbh only their zeros make sense to purchase. All their higher performance options are like crappy mini PCs, which at that point just pay $15 more for a chink mini.

Isn't this shit slower than a $20 wallmart phone?

>>106326816
they're usually used as an iot device with a single purpise. Setup with no gui. So you wouldn't be engaging with it directly.

>>106326783
Nobody is selling used RPi4's for less than what a new one costs.

>>106326750 (OP)
why not get one of the million chink SBC's that cost less than a BJ from your mom?

>>106326750 (OP)
What is the use of this thing?

I was able to get a early 4b at 4gb of ram before covid completely raped pricing.
Honestly you should go with another device just make sure they can run stable OS or diet pi which imo is amazing

>>106326750 (OP)
usecase?

>>106327177
I use it to monitor my UPS and shut down my servers in the case of a power outage.
I also use it to manage the docker containers on my network as well as to run my search index, I have a lot of bandwidth left so I'm going to keep stuffing this bitch's pussy until she can't take no more.
Any little service you don't want to have your main machines have to waste resources on she can fit it.

Can you at least try to know what you're talking about before posting?

>>106327177
Low power systems universal systems. They work for everything from embedded to network to stand alone systems. Nice to have when you want to put a computer somewhere.

>>106326750 (OP)
sell your ass to old gay men. at least theyll be able to put your worthless existence into good use.

Banana Pi M3/2

>>106327218
literally what the fuck is the usecase for any of those shits you have mentioned

>>106326842
BUY AN OLDER MODEL NIGGA
>n-no you see... I need a fuck ton less RAM but somehow it hasbto be equally powerful...

>>106327242
My router is custom built and my servers run 24/7 a unexpected shutdown will damage them, my pi will make sure my devices will shutdown gracefully in the case of a power outage, the other tools supplement my other hosted applications that I use during my day to day.
I also run a low power setup all of those devices draw less than 60w idle including my network gear.
Any more questions I don't mind discussing it with you and perhaps you might join home server general.

can you browse 4chan and watch youtube with this ? with a very light linux ?

>>106327264
>muh home servers
you don't need that.

>>106327177
I use it to watch old 480i sd video on my crt tv. It's impossible to get a real ntsc composite video signal out of any modern device without expensive external converters that cost $100 and up. The rpi is the only modern device that can still do this out of the box.

>>106327318
Yes

>>106327318
Unlikely, the browser is a bigger problem than the OS.

>>106327328
I do, I like being self sufficient and the upkeep cost is cheaper than buying a plan. many companies like bitwarden actually give you a means to host things yourself while enjoying their tools and admittedly the pi was rotting in my shelf until I learned how to do this.

>>106327360
Ugh.
Why are browsers so bloated?

>>106327341
Holy autism. You could do S-video, SCART, or component (all work with CRTs), but you choose the output that only barely gets beaten by RF modulators as the absolute SHITTIEST video standard in existence just to nostalgia farm.

>>106328384
You need expensive converters for all of those methods. Literally nothing made today is capable of outputting a 15khz ntsc signal that a crt tv can display except a raspberry pi's composite out. And the stuff I'm watching is tv quality video so I'm not going to gain that much from s-video.

pisses me off so much.
My rpi4 died, so I bought a 5 for ~100€
For my usecase the 5 is much slower and guess what, it died much quicker too

>LLM slop overview

Why?

>>106329493
I had a mishap on my 4 and managed to save it. all chips died, apart from core. replaced eeprom and made pcie mod and use external ethernet card lel. still working like a champ

>>106327177
lightweight servers and 24/7 data collection clients

>>106326750 (OP)
Because it got popular and they realized they can charge you more.

>>106326842
I've noticed that too.
For some reason the Rpi crowd is till acting like it's 2022 with the shortages and go all "I KNOW WHAT I GOT" even for really crusty dusty ones.

>>106327214
Cheap as balls NAS

>>106332346
price is set by supply and demand

>>106326783
>an used

>>106327318
With only 1GB of RAM? Absolutely not.

>>106326750 (OP)
RPI is no longer a hobbyist project. Buy alternatives.

>>106333020
tell me you have no real use for it without telling me you have no real use for it
most rpi uses for tech people don't require a lot of ram. it's usually for simple network services, shields with all kinds of sensors and shit. only kids on "le diy laptop" use it with a graphical interface. and it's still shit for that purpose even with a lot of ram

damn, not even chinese boards are that cheap now.
