There's better things out there than the raspberry pi.  But the raspberry pi got slightly more useful.  Good for node networks like ours.

2x speed + 8GB for $80 is not bad.  

Would love to get Braben & Bell on nostr...

 After the costs of new active cooling heatsink and 27W power adapter, it still might be more cost effective to get a used ThinkCentre or EleiteDesk  

 Take a look at Orange Pi.
