Oddbean new post about login | logout Someone try to talk me out of preordering the new Raspberry Pi. You won't be successful. Still, for posterity sake someone's got to try. #RaspberryPi #Linux
@176ccc2b Remember, when it seizes up with its stupid little green led stuck on, you can look back at this moment and see your buyers remorse joined the chat. Then you’ll grab the power and yank it, plug it back in, and wonder to the spirits of the air, how long until it craps out again? You’ll ignore that nagging feeling that you could have used that money for something else.
@176ccc2b Reasons not to buy a #RaspberryPi 5 1: It’s way more fun to take pot luck and buy a used NUC off a complete stranger on eBay 2: Documentation and SW support is for losers, buy one of the clone SBCs 3: Instead invest the money in lottery tickets, wait until the big win lets you buy the gleaming enterprise HW level homelab you deserve! 4: The surveillance state is run off a Pi and ACAB buy a Mac I’ve no imagination and pre-ordered the Pi, dont make the same mistake!
