Is the raspberry pi the macbook of single-board computers?
Other urls found in this thread:
no
then what is?
there doesn't have to be
there's not a 'macbook' of everything you autistic cuck
>can get a more powerful machine for less money
Like what?
Why does it had to be apple-centric for you?
you fucking autist
how is
>good support for users who want something that "just works"
relevant to the raspberry pi
it's a fucking single board linux computer how the fuck does it "just work"
It's not a macbook, and it's not something that "just works"
It's an educational device to teach children electronics/computing/programming
Are you joking? You think I can't get a more powerful machine than a macbook for its price? The macbook costs 1300$, I could get a Xeon desktop for its pricem
Hey man, I've had actual use for it, am adult.
What's an educational device for adults then?
if i only had something interesting to do with this...
How's that any better or more functional than a RPi?
muh gpio pins.
no really, it's just that i'm searching for ways to use it instead of having it idling, but i did almost everything possible.
OP is special needs.
>good support for users who want something that "just works"
You sometimes have to SSH in just to get the fucking keyboard working.
You shambles of a human.
never had to tbqh
>platforms exist that are more open, and easier to modify
Such as?
Orange Pi.
Orange are more expensive than raspberry
The raspberry has USB A, Ethernet and 3.5mm jack.
$18 on eBay.
Orange is must larger than raspberry. Of course it is more expensive.
Orange Zero is 10 and has ethernet+2 usb+tv out +otg, unlike pi zero or chip
But what about your updates? I don't want a device from some chinese-knockoff manufacturer, that can only run a severely outdated Linux and a heavily modified Linaro-spinoff.
Whoops, just realized you were supporting the Raspberry Pi :)
I think you completely failed reading comprehension.
Orangepi pc has almost same specs as RPi 2, yet Opi costs 15 shekels
The Orangepi pc 2 costs 20 shekels and comes very close (if not better than) RPi 3.
Not a shill or anything, but I have both and price/performance of Orangepi can't be beat
But it has no support or community
It's the Raspberry Pi of Raspberry Pis
Don't underestimate the community (guides, problems solved) and software quality and amount. No device comes even close, except Arduino, but that's another category.
I was about to pick one of these up tonight to make a media center so I can get rid of one of my laptops. Is it gonna be shitty and laggy?
Better open source. Better controls and real time applications
Not shitty or laggy, unless you run more intensive programs on it
enjoy the video acceleration until h264 is deprecated next year
I prefer ODROID, since they didn't decide to use the shitty Twitter blockbot and bitch about those who criticized them for it.
program some bots to shitpost on twitter
then do bots retweeting shit
then do bots commenting on images with what's in the images
then do bots solving captchas
then do bots posting they have nothing to do with their singleboard on Sup Forums
then come back.
it can't handle 10bit video and sometimes on very large files it shits the bed and stops displaying subtitles if you start tracking around the file too quickly. other than that it's pretty fine
oh but ssh'ing into them kinda sucks, there's only the one account and it's not enabled by default, and in my experience ftp'ing to them is a nightmare
Yes
Odroid
I dont really support rpi but how the fuck is odroid even mentioned in serious conversations? It takes 0$ to order rpi from chinks and it takes ~15 to order odroid. That fact alone makes it inferior
