This looks cool, is it getting good reviews?
I don’t know what a pi5+ is, unless you mean orange pi 5+?
I just bought a RPI 5 8GB (base price $80), all accessories in, for like $115. It never occurred to me that this would’ve been considered “expensive”, but a lot of people in this thread are saying so because rpis used to be $30. I mean the price has increased, but hasn’t the price of literally everything increased noticeably at the same time?
I missed this sentiment. Just bought my first RPI (5) and it’s a neat little toy. I have some pretty specific requirements I’ll have to work toward but I like tinkering with it. The size, price and low power consumption beat any of the mini PCs I found. Then again I’m probably out of the loop
I’m curious, what’s an example of a mini x86 machine comparable to a raspberry pi? I just did research and ended up buying a RPI 5. I may have not known what to look for, but what I found in the x86 space was $200+ and seemed pretty underwhelming compared to a $80 SBC on arm.
Username checks out
I don’t like the noise
Yes you do
Yeah, making an app isn’t hard in and of itself but trust me, no matter how easy something seems, it just keeps getting harder once you start building. I don’t mean to say you couldn’t make this app in a weekend if you have the right experience, but it’s gonna be buggy until you spend quite a few more hours ironing out the kinks and maintaining it
trivial for those who do know.
Erm, no
My thought process exactly
Ok.
I really was asking. I did a little research and concluded any x86 machine I could buy would be too slow for reliable video playback unless I spent over $200. I am open to actually being wrong there though.
