Probably not much of a difference. These mini PCs can run at single digit wattage too and you won't be buying new SD cards every 6 months.

The market is about to be flooded with them with Windows 10 going EoL in October.

I bet you could instead use an ESP32 for GPIO and just connect it remotely to whatever Pi alternative you use (if needed at all). Turning some switches on and off while monitoring input values doesn't sound very computationally intensive.

I think this really depends on the model they're eyeballing because the Pi5 is frankly ridiculous for the price and has absurd power requirements (5V5A USB?). I wouldn't recommend one of these unless you have a specific need like a certain hat or the GPIO pins. You can get a Dell micro Optiplex for less money and have a full fledged i5 or i7 processor with similar power usage.

Plus the RPi Foundation exposed themselves as the greedy bastards they are during COVID which is yet another reason to turn your back on them.

For something like a Pi Zero, maybe go for it, but there are similar devices out there from other companies too.

I think Gene Hackman gave up acting because of the dementia. He acted til he was nearly 75 years old.

Even as far back as Fire Marshall Bill?

I have a 49 year old truck that was abused for much of its life and none of the gaskets or seals were this bad to replace either.

He announced this on the day of his birthday military parade? That doesn't seem well timed.

I know, right? The solution is out there.

Looks like he's 75% hacked into the mainframe.

Does anyone know what this means for covid and flu shots in the fall since these groups are the ones who determine which strains to target with the shot each year? Will we just not have flu shots anymore or are they just going to be worthless?

I wonder if he has CTE since his behavior has been on a sharp decline over the last several years.
