@mattmay that's just the purely speculative #MarketCapitalization which has nothing to do woth EBITA, Assets, Revenue or a Business Model.

Why else does Apple get ranked as a Trillion-Dollar Company and none of the logistics giants come even closer.

If #Apple can't deliver a product, that'll piss off less than 1/10th the number of companies compared to @Raspberry_Pi being unable to deliver #CM4 & #Pi4B's.

Or remember that container ship stuck in the Suez Canal???

@nyanotech @gsuberland @Raspberry_Pi I mean the #CM4 does support #NVMe and there are even boards from #WaveShare that basically breakout all the ports of a CM4 in the Foodprint of a #Pi4B - including #PCIe in the Form of an M.2 2280 M-Key slot [with a single lane]...

Still, out of cost reasons, USB-Boot would've been the most versatile option allowing anything from a cheap & slow USB 2.0 Thumbdrive [or even 3,5" FDD if supported for retro fans] up to a huge-ass array of HDDs and/or SSDs...

@Natanox As much as I'd consider alternatives to @Raspberry_Pi since their stuff is being scalped beyond insane, a lot of those suffer from poor software support, worse availability and even higher prices.

That being said I do use a #BananaPiZeroM2 / #BPi0M2 since the #Pi0/#Pi0W is being scalped >10x it's #MSRP and I've yet to find a good #CM4 / #Pi4B replacement that isn't out of production, double the price or unsupported by even @ubuntu or #Debian...

@arstechnica Not shure about the deal #Broadcom and/or @Raspberry_Pi have but I'm convinced #ARM would get far less with a 1-10% rate for the #Pi0 / #Pi0W and even #CM4, #Pi400 & #Pi4B

@aallan @Raspberry_Pi @ancientjames next thing someone's gonna port #OpenRA to the #GamePi43 [#Pi3B+ / #Pi4B] and have meetups where people will have some tournament doing 1vs1 plays.

@pmdj I use the same model for some background cli stuff, since it just works.

And with @Raspberry_Pi #Pi4B and #CM4 being scalped into insane prices [I've seen #Pi0W's for €100 on Amazon!] unless one needs it's specific stuff like GPIO it's more reasonable to just upcycle...

@nano #RaspberryPiOS has the advantage of having the same apps on #i386 as the Rasperry Pi, which makes sense due to @Raspberry_Pi #Pi4B's and #CM4's being scalped af.

#BunsenLabs even works on systems with no GPU as software renderer at good speeds.

As of #Ubuntu LTS: You have the advantage of affordable Support and 5 years of guaranteed updates from day of release free of charge.

@lcruggeri @juliank yes and no.

Yes in that there is cheap stuff like the #Pinebook and absurdly expensive shit like the #ThinkPad #X1s that noone wants and nothing in between.

Granted there are some ood devices - for their money - but even the @Raspberry_Pi #Pi4B & #Pi400 don't follow spec and most certainly don't have #LinuxBoot for the bootchain.

@spacer I wish I could even get a single #Pi4B or #CM4 at #MSRP...

Surely I am crazy to think anyone will ever use my Free Open Source Software "Headless Install #ROS2 Humble on #Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Server for #GoPiGo3 Robots"
but version 4 uSDcard image is now available for #RaspberryPi 3B, 3B+, and #Pi4B. (Including work around solution for PiCamera image publishing to /Image topic)
