pretty cool! although one of the advantages of the current rpi is that it's easy to hide inside of things if you don't want to show the computery parts.

but i'm sure there's a lot more going on with that update than the keyboard and it's physical size. which is why i say,

pretty cool!

The 400 is dplaying on my unfulfilled SAM Coupë / Jupiter Ace desires. Don't need but...

would be interesting to know how many hundreds of times more powerful they are than the spectrum i grew up with. and if the kids are similarly inspired or whether the complexity works against it.

koogs, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 09:25 (three years ago) link

inspired imo

some are, at least, imo

Pi 5 is the most capable yet, and the most expensive (and needs active cooling?). part of me thinks this is missing the point, but i guess you still have the zeros for the small stuff, even the picos. do i need a third? perhaps not.

(oh, places still have various model 3s and 4s in stock, more than enough choice)

It's weird but you can often find used computer kits that used rpi3 for the brains for cheaper than bare rpi3.

Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 29 November 2023 17:55 (eleven months ago) link

I guess less weird but still weird -- you can find full working laptops for even cheaper.

Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 29 November 2023 17:55 (eleven months ago) link

needing active cooling makes them pretty much useless

the absence of bikes (f. hazel), Wednesday, 29 November 2023 18:07 (eleven months ago) link

some of the new cases have fans built in (but will limit expandability, getting in the way of the pins)

the official word is "continual heavy usage" will cause thermal throttling and a fan will avoid that. also that the 5 is generally cooler than the 4 and faster even if throttling, so it's not as terrible as all that.
