Raspberry Pis are cheaper than Mini PCs again by SnotFlickerman in c/technology@lemmy.world

They're out of stock at both Canakit and Vilros, but an original Pi Zero is still just $10 for the board.

Sure, that's well beyond the inflation rate ($5 then would be about $6.89 now), but remember these are licensed resellers of official Pi products, so they have to mark them up at least a little to make a profit, especially now with tariffs affecting the imports. I wouldn't call being marked up just over 30% all that insidious.

I didn't compare the board to the full price of a mini PC, I was giving the information for context.

Further the raw power of a Pi 5 with 16gb of RAM is genuinely equivalent to a lot of thin client desktops with a lot more extensibility. I think you're getting what you pay for, honestly.

I'm not going to say they shouldn't be a little cheaper, but the Pi 5 is kind of a powerhouse compared to older Pis and you have to push for the 16gb of RAM version to make it actually expensive.

Once again the 4gb kit is $140 and with a lightweight Linux distro that's honestly more than enough for basic desktop life of web browsing and email.

YSK that Chris Hughes, who co-founded Facebook when he studied at Harvard, says the company should be dismantled by SnotFlickerman in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

Chris Hughes sucks almost as much as Zuckerberg. He fucked up his tenure as owner of The New Republic. He's just as much of a worthlessn rich dickbag.

He also literally killed a story on Apple's tax dodging calling the story tone deaf in response to Tim Cook coming out as gay as though those two things aren't mutually exclusive.

Probably because $250 is wildy misleading. This is an all inclusive kit which includes case, heat sinks, fan, micro-hdmi cables, power supply and you have to go for the 16gb rpi 5 to reach $230. All the things I want to do with a Pi I would really only need 4gb of RAM max, which the kit is $140.

The 16gb rpi 5 on its own with no extras is $145 and the 4gb on its own with no extras is $70.

Sure that's still a lot more than the original goal of $35 computing but you can still get a basic kit for the rpi Zero 2 W for $40. They also still sell rpi 3, 3A+, 3B+, and 4 kits for reasonable prices. I don't necessarily need the full power of an rpi 5 either.

I mean... pretty sure that's satire. The last sentence has "why waste time say lot word when few do trick" energy.

You're welcome, I'm glad I was able to help prove it existed!

We don’t have small scale LLMs running on personal machines (even if we could, that’s not how it is now)

Uhhh, it's pretty trivial to set them up. I have a local Ollama instance set up on my PC with several different open source models available right now. Just because not everyone is doing it doesn't mean it's not possible. I don't even have an especially fancy computer, either. Ryzen 7 3700X, 32gb RAM, Radeon 6600XT 8gb video RAM, not exactly top of the line. I struggle with programming logic sometimes, so I use it to help me figure out if I'm doing something right or not when I can't find an answer online, an activity I wouldn't exactly classify as "evil."

I also wouldn't consider a shrapnel bomb a tool, it's strictly a weapon just like a gun is strictly a weapon.

What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? by SnotFlickerman in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] SnotFlickerman 63 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Asking "so what do you do for a living?" when meeting someone new as if their job defines them. It's one of the first questions Americans will ask someone when meeting them for the first time. I am American, but as I understand it, this question is far less common elsewhere in the world.

[Intro: Devi McCallion]
Programming like this
Is made possible
By viewers like you!

[Verse 1: Ada Rook, Devi McCallion]
Every day, every day, I'm so fucking freaked out
Every day, every day, I can't get the evil out
Every night I feel so far away
Someday, someday
Will it ever be okay?

Every day, it's a brand new episode
Every day, I guess we'll see just how far it goes
Every day, it seems like no one sees and no one knows
Every day, I kinda wanna cancel the show

[Pre-Chorus: Ada Rook, Devi McCallion]
Most days I just feel like I'm making it up
Call off the show
I pray to god that I'm just making it up
I don't wanna go to the show!

[Chorus: Ada Rook]
I wish this was just a cartoon so I could be like
"This is real as fuck, I love the way they don't give up!"
Tweet about it, "more stories like this, so important!"
But it really happened
Oh god, it really happened!

[Spoken: Devi McCallion & Ada Rook]
"So, uh, I have this idea for like, a cartoon or something.."
"Uh-huh."
"And, it's like.. There's these fucked up kids..."
"Uh-huh."
"And like, through the power of uh..."
"Understanding!"
"Yeah! It could totally be like, understanding, or like, forgiveness or something..."
"Uh-huh."
"They like, overcome all their fears, and in the end, they turn out to be like, fine.."
(Both laughing)

[Bridge: Ada Rook, Devi McCallion]
Aaaaaghhhhh!
What the fuck!
What the...
I wanna do that again, yeah

[Verse 2: Devi McCallion]
Every day, it's another new episode
Every day, slice a bit more meat off the bone

[Pre-Chorus: Ada Rook, Devi McCallion]
I can feel the evil in me
I'm such a faker really
Meat off the bones...
Crisis line, all agents busy
I feel so guilty
Meat off the...

[Outro: Ada Rook & Devi McCallion]
What the fuck?!
What the fuck?!
What the fuck?!
What the fuck?!
What the fuck?!
