It was nice knowing Raspberry Pi while they lasted. Going to suck losing something that has changed the homegrown embedded system hobby forever.

    Got my last Pi (RBP5) to try to set up a simple TV player under linux… unfortunately the performance was shit… had to go with Android and it’s barely OK (bang for buck)

    With the IPO I expect RBP are going to become more expensive and significantly enshitified… so that’s that

        I was planning to use it to drive one of my TVs, so basically to be an HDTV player.

        The Raspbian OS was fine, the Emby client would not start (segmentation fault) and the performance on the web client was not great.

        Now on Android, Emby client runs pretty well (better than on the FireTV sticks I am trying to replace) but I could not get Google Play working (yet) which left me without F1TV (the only “other” vid app I care about for now to run on the TV)
