Cat and echo are bloat. What's wrong with programming the microchips each time you want to change a byte?

Raspberry PI 4 MSRP when introduced (2019): $35 (1 GB) $45 (2 GB) $55 (4 GB) $75 (8 GB)

Raspberry PI 5 MSRP when introduced (2023): $45 (1GB - added later) $50 (2 GB) $60 (4 GB) $80 (8 GB) $120 (16 GB)

The 5 while claiming 2x performance was considered to be the start of offering no value for many users since it started above $100 for the 16 GB model, which many small form factor used PCs from EBay could surpass in performance for projects that required no GPIO (like self hosting apps).

Before 2020 each new generation would offer a performance and memory boost at similar prices to the previous.

Does that properly keep metadata like location and other exit entries? I recall google takeout used to suck at that. I had to export using their web UI 1000 at a time or so back in the day to keep that info.

Technical specs don't capture the bugs, edge cases and workarounds needed for technical subjects like software.

From the Latin roots medi: middle terra: earth ain't: nah bruh

Its in the middle of that earth thingy, and ain't, clear as night.

Fake, 3:37 should still have some un-popped kernels.

Yes, but it can be involved and one mistake means your email could potentially never make it to peoples inbox as it will be seen as spam, etc. Not even mentioning that if your server was offline for an extended period of time (e.g. 2-5 day vacation), you could lose incoming messages.

In before SSD, HD, RAM, GPU price hikes from AI bullshit kill the pricing strategies.

Good ol' orange market.

Plus everyone else that pays taxes as they will have to continue to pay for unemployment insurance, food stamps, rent assistance, etc (not the CEOs and execs that caused it that's for sure).
