minus-squarecmnybo@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up67·7 days agoI thought the Pi 5 was too expensive when it came out. This is just ridiculous. For most uses, a used PC, phone or tablet would be a much better choice. The only Pi I would even consider using is the Zero 2W, but they’ve been out of stock all year.
