Perplx posted:computers use to cost over $1500 just to send email and word processing for homework My family finally bought a computer (k6-2) b/c my sister literally cried over having to type her senior portfolio on the electric typewriter. I remember showing my dad charts and graphs about the difference between 16mb of ram and 32mb of ram for windows 98, b/c it ran like crap and he agreed to upgrade it. I didn't know it had to have two sticks, so we wound up with 64mb. Making an upgrade pitch and apologizing for a budget overrun. Really prepared me for engineering.

The Land of Lisp dude has made a similar thing with an inbuilt screen: https://twitter.com/lisperati/status/1357029088343506944 looks kinda uncomfortable to use, isn't the tiny screen way to far away? plus you gotta bend your neck. Also lol no dedicated Paren-buttons despite being a lisp thing.

I'd've gone with 60% simply to have standardized placement of almost everything.

with a hinge it'd be SO close to the sony vaio p form factor, which seems a much better form factor for a portable posting station.

that's the thing. you have to use the rpi400 for either emulation, a media top box, or hardware tinkering. it sucks for regular desktop computing. re: drivers - broadcom's reason might be android, but they develop linux sdk's too, but they do it like it was windows. they couldn't care less for mainline or actually using any standards. how long has rpi's been out now? since 2012? even after almost 10 years, there has been no working open drivers for any of the rpis. the closest thing we have is that vc4 vulkan driver for the rpi4. you should never choose broadcom if you have a choice. the point with rpi is that you don't actually have a choice. 10 years of community development has very little to show for, and guess who's to blame.

the biggest reason, by far and entirely honestly, why the rpi400 should not be considered a general personal computer is that it runs linux. no hardware flaw or other lack is as big an issue for the idea that some average person would pick one up thinking they'd do their computing on it.

one of the best rpi uses is as a streaming endpoint for music, you can get one in a case with a decent dac for like a hundo which is at least 3 three and a half hundos cheaper than doing the same thing with sonos or bluesound and there's single install software for roon or volumio and you get chromecast and airplay rolled in

I was able to give my dad in not law a pi 3 and tell him to do the scratch tutorials. He's automated his train table with it and some basic sensors. People that want to automate their fish tanks, etc have all been able to teach themselves, as opposed to esp/arduino studio projects.

i have a little rpi stuck underneath my desk running pihole and every now and then i remember it exists and check the dash and go wow that's a lot of ads it blocked. i also used a bunch to set up some remote underwater cameras on battery power and they worked great except for a weird thing where they'd reset unexpectedly that we eventually figured out was because the water was carrying a small amount of current (lol) and it was loving with the pis somehow the rpi400 seems kinda cool as an ssh box for debugging robots but then i need a screen too and at that point it seems like i might as well just use a laptop
