  Yea in one of my other comments down somewhere here I mentioned riscv as a hopeful future option, maybe with someone like AMD spending some resources to bring another viable solution to market. I know AMD is working on RISCV, they’ve got some low power SOCs already. I’m wondering if they got something in the pipes…

  Any non-rockchip ones tho? Beagle has been dead for a bit.

  Again, I’m against the IPO. Never brings good.

  I don’t disagree with your points re:fairness and the community goodwill.

  I think they still are the only game in town for my usecases. The support and “just works” factor is unmatched.

  And with the Hock Tan era Broadcom, you’re not going to see another bcm based design upstart.

  Hopefully RISC-V can ramp up and provide a viable alternative in the near term, with an AMD or something willing to provide some resources.

  For the record I’m not for the IPO.

  Working in hardware, this is a shit take. If you’re saying a hobbiest should be prioritized over keeping a paycheck coming to employees at a firm that rely on rpi parts being delivered, umm…

  WITH priority as a giant customer (not with rpi, but multi billion accounts) we still were facing 72+ week lead times for components. A smaller company, more likely to use an rpi as an integral part of their widget, would be facing MUCH longer. That means manufacturing halt, and going under.

  Should they have taken on industrial costumers in the first place? That’s another question. But to say my octopi server has priority over someone being able to feed their family is bullshit. Not only that but industry customers keep volumes high, allowing for lower end prices.

  Limited to amd though, yea? Nvidia still holding back their drivers?

  Can you run and plot a frequency sweep?
