I agree with you but the Raspberry Pi's USP is the GPIO interfacing capability and the community surrounding it. You don't get these things with a second hand computer.
Re:DietPi – Lightweight justice for your SBC

Rather than using DietPi for my devices around my home I use Balena (balena.io), which seems to cover the same area. In addition it has a dashboard so I can see the status of the devices too. Balena is Docker based. No connection with Balena, just a happy user.

It would have been interesting to see the ESR (Equivalent series resistance) of the capacitors replaced too. This can be more significant than the absolute capacitance.

Re:Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit vs. 64-bit Performance
on Monday February 07, 2022 @01:05PM (#30248593)
Raspberry PI OS 32bit is compiled for ARMv6 to support the orginal Raspberry pi. I wonder what impact on benchmarks there would be compiling for ARMv7 hence only supporting Raspberry pi 2 and later?

Quite a poor noise figure and bad spurs/harmonics for a signal generator.

Perhaps use "Image File Execution Options" on Microsoft Edge. Edge will never see the 'microsoft-edge://' links?

Re:Microsoft repo installed on all Raspberry Pi’s
on Friday February 05, 2021 @08:28AM (#26036057)
If I was going to use a Raspberry Pi for commercial use I would want full control over the OS and use Open Embedded etc, just like I have done for NXP etc. That way I have full control over my system. I think the alternative of using Raspberry PI OS and the dependency on updates on Raspberry Pi and their suppliers is too risky. So this is a non-issue for me.

Re:PoE for Raspberry Pi for under $2

I would put a suitable USB plug on it rather than wiring to the GPIO pins as I am certain in a rush I would plug it in wrongly damaging the Pi!
Re:Lipstick on a Pig a.k.a. the Raspberry Pi 3

To start the ARM processor in aarch64 (64bit) mode is just a question of setting the flag in the arm control (arm_control=0x0200) register to 0x0200 in the config.txt.
see the discussion at https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=1379.... I don't think it will give much of a benefit over aarch32 mode (arm_control=0x0000) because of the limited memory.
