Yes they were cheap, but 512MiB of ram was still insulting.

I was trying to find a zero 2 for some scripts but can't find them, even at the 15/20 dollar mark.

in the most sympathetic interpretation of mr. altman, raspberries do work 24/7 and thus not a waste (as opposed to ideal gaming pc which works 2 hours a day). but, of course, he owns more than one car, so the core idea is bad faith anyways.

i think when those mythical nvl72 sitting in warehouses turn on and there is no more demand, the prices on hardware/wafers will probably crash, which is something jensen knows and cautiously advocates using local llm if you really want to protect your predatory corporation privacy, to get another market. is there really a demand for 10x llm usage, 100 bucks per each american a month, 360 billion per year? i very much doubt it, government can spin this a little bit further, but not forever.

embedded systems projects, in particular robotics people seem to like using entire prebuilt SBCs

but now it costs ps5

I imagine the main customer are companies building shitty appliances that use a raspberry pi. I also have a 3D printer that is powered by a raspberry.

For a home server used PCs should be an easy choice. I guess a lot of people might still fall for a raspberry pi at least once.

For networked electronics there are so many better choices nowadays.
