Comment on Jeff Geerling: "Raspberry Pi 5: Everything you need to know"
PeachMan@lemmy.world 9 months agoThen please, buy the Beelink thing so I can get a Pi 5 for projects. I already have chargers, plenty of SD cards, a 3D printer for an enclosure, and a box of 50 heat sinks of various sizes. And I’ll be just fine with the base $60 model, so that’s all I need to spend.

I’m more confused than anything.
I didn’t have a lot of money as a teenager. My family had 1 computer we all shared. I couldn’t tinker with it, what if I broke it? Cheap Pis were the gateway to my lifelong computer hobby. Because of that hobby, I was able to get a job where part of my role is full-stack web dev. I don’t know what I would be doing now if I didn’t have access to cheap Pis when I was younger.
Especially in this economy, those prices just make me sad :/

Pi 4 is still for sale, and it’s in stock now for a change
