So that's where all the damn Pi4s went.
Well, they sure as fuck didn't go to the hobbyist market, we've been getting fucked by the rPi foundation for 3 years now.
I mean, the cold reality is that they developed and released a perfect piece of hardware for industrial automation and sold it for pennies in comparison to other industrial computer boards.
Industry will always have deeper pockets than hobbyists.
It's far from industrial quality, but it still is getting used there. There's a reason it's a fraction of the cost of a proper PLC.
Yep, exactly.
If you can buy 10 Pis for the cost of one real PLC, and the only downtime you have if it fails is the time to swap the board and boot the machine back up it's a no-brainer solution.
I’ve been seeing them everywhere.
Those self service terminal at autozone? Pi’s.
I haven't seen one- what's it do?
It's not just that. If the Pi Foundation has to make a choice between fulfilling an order for 100 pis for a company so that the company can keep making products and meeting payroll vs. 100 hobbyists that want to make their own one-off project, which is the more moral use of resources?
Yeah, those companies should probably not have chosen a pi board to power their products but that's only noticeable in hindsight.
But how am I supposed to run pi-hole and connect my Insteon fan to HomeKit?
It's amazing to me that there isn't anything comparable to a fanlinc or keypad linc. RIP in peace insteon
They also bent over backwards to help industrial buyers get them while flat out refusing to help content creators and Devs of open source projects that use the pi - it was really disappointing tbh
Still love them though but not as much as I used to.
Well, everyone wanting to buy anything with a proccessor in it, has been getting fucking these last 3 years
