I think moving away from the standard board size would kinda defeat the purpose. All the projects designed to fit the Pi formfactor would be useless. They’d have to design a whole new line, and have none of the ecosystem they’ve built to support it.
The parts SBCs use have been hit the hardest in terms of price increases. And mini PCs aren’t a good replacement for the Pi in embedded applications.
The real power of the Pi 5 is as is a testbed that can easily convert to the CM5.
For people using them as small computers they make no real sense though
Glad I bought several when they were <$100
Twice, and since the effect was zilch, I’ll say that’s pretty much doing nothing
They didn’t do shit last time. Which frankly is what they’ll probably do this time
Its not about “getting even”, its about ensuring these people don’t have an ounce of political power going forward. We cannot allow them back in government.
Honestly the Democrats need go start looking into pathways to delegitimizing Trump’s or ideally all presidental pardons.
Most of the cabinet is looking at jail time I think
Comparing Democrats to Communists is almost as funny/ridiculous as comparing Republicans to communists. It just shows that you don’t know what any if the words you’re using mean
Wow, what a well reasoned, calm, and not at all biased bit of reporting
Damn, I had such hope there for a second. What a sad world we live in.
Well, initially I made a comment saying I was surprised, because I am continuously surprised by it, very simple. And then I continued to comment in response to others who were responding to me.
I never meant to put anyone down, and I’ve reread all my comments and I do not see how any of comments were putting people down? (except perhaps for Plex corporate, but I don’t care how companies feel)
Me too, I guess daring to offend the great Plex gods gets on peoples nerves.
I’m going to shill any particular media server, I’m sure you’re perfectly capable of comparing and selecting on your own, nor an I trying to suggest that any will have the same feature set or all the features you wish for out of the box. I’m only expressing surprise that people, particularly people in the homelabbing/self-hosting community, are still using a product like Plex
I didn’t mention Jellyfin, there are other options that just the two ya know? My amazement comes from the fact that Plex, as a corporation, has consistently shown that they hate their own customers. I am equally surprised when I see people still use products by Microsoft, Google, META, Etc, however Plex is particularly perplexing (pun intended), as their core users are not the “general public” but rather a slightly more technically minded subset that should be more adept at seeing the better alternatives.
Call it smugness if you wish though
Yeah, the lack of streaming proxy seems to be the only real killer feature that Plex has.
Tools like Netbird makes setting that up so easy though, it’s not nearly as painful as older tools like Tailscale and ZeroTier. Even my mom was able to set it up on her devices.
The board sizes remained pretty much the same though, a pi 5 can fit in lots of 3b project without huge changes.
