I literally just went to the links provided by the Buy Now buttons on the raspberry pi website and they’re all there.
I feel like there’s a Mandela effect thing going on with how people remember the price of pis several years ago. If anything, because of inflation, pis are cheaper now than when they released.
The pi3B+ and pi4B are still $35 for the 1GB models and have the same performance today that they did when they came out (and way more compatible software).
If all you’re doing is setting up a tinkering lab at a school, which everyone and their mom seems to want to do judging by the comments, you can still do that. The only thing that has changed is the entry of the sbc choices. Raspberry pi hasn’t gotten worse, the market has just caught up with them to some degree and that’s fine.
More for the rest of us, I guess.
This is lemmy and so I understand it but flashing an esp32 is not super easy for 99.9% of the population.
Elegant, efficient code? Who needs that shit?
Speaking of factorio, it is the example of “If you want your game to have true replay value, the best thing you can do is embrace the modding community”.
Factorio made mods first class citizens and reaped the rewards.
I can kind of feel the author on this. I’m in charge of a lot of “special projects” at work that basically come down to, “figure out a way to replicate this extremely expensive technology or software using low cost or free alternatives”. It ends up being an unholy mix of programs and hardware that is held together with duct tape and super glue and any minor perturbation means something breaks.
