Are these things even worth it anymore? I have the original 8GB pic related. Now the 16GB is almost $170 and the HAT is pretty useless though its done a 2x street price since launch. I could get a lattepanda or something. I like the idea of a Pi5 16GB: enough memory and processor to run better/larger LLMs off 2.5W at ~1 token/sec. Even a solar battery. It's cool to have a philosopher in a box like that. The tinker side GPIO and stuff doesn't interest me for personal projects. Anyway should I just get a Jetson Nano or N150 or something.
it's a bad joke at that price point
>>107669797It's pretty much the only consumer computer you can find with CEC built-in.
>>107669948this, the only reason to buy a Pi anymore is to take advantage of the few niche features it hasLike usb gadget modeand composite outand the camera connectorIf you just want a "server" it's time to get a n150 box.
>>107669797The best and most useful pi is the cheapest one. That one that's like $30. I don't understand the point of the fancy ones unless you have some really specific need for the power.
