Is it a worse misallocation, I wonder, than doing what most people do with Raspberry Pis, which is leave it in a drawer ;-)

My 4 is, but only after a good while as my home server until I bumped up against the limitations of the hardware and upgraded to a proper server. So I suppose it did its job as a home lab gateway drug.

Yeah, currently I have a 3B, 2B and an original wifi-free zero in a drawer.

The 3B was my Octoprint server for the longest time while I was testing the 4B for a product, but for reasons I don't really understand, the 3B isn't quite punchy enough for Klipper, when it fully should be; it drops connections to the printer.

Haven't replaced any of them yet, don't really need to. Rather more interested in what happens with the Picos these days.

This strategy is designed to protect their margins so nobody can self-host similarly capable models.

Unfortunately there is no appetite for governments to step in.

It's impressive how evidently right he is in the context he spoke those words in and how pervasive the narrative twisting them has gotten.

I'm pretty sure I can use your food better than you. I mean look how large I am.
