I’m going to go on a rant here, but I was disappointed in the launch of the Pi 5 and even more frustrated at the lack of pushback by the tech community.
I’m forgetting the details now, but it launched much later than it was supposed to (they used covid as an excuse, but I’m not sure). That’s not the issue; the issue is that it was only slightly more powerful than the Pi 4.
Given that the Pi 5 was launched 4 years later, it should have been more powerful. But considering it wasn’t, it meant they were using cheaper silicon.
But the real kicker is that I think it had a $10 (like a 25%) price hike.
So more expensive for marginally better power…screw that.
That along with the locked down nature of arm, I was done with the company. Especially considering the strides x86 has made in low power applications.
It just sucks can’t afford anything right now.
If this is about the Macklemore incident, he started off by saying that he isn’t a victim and neither is Ed (apparently his friend for a long time). The victims are the Palestinian people.
As to why make statements on “controversial stuff?” How else can you be an agent of change? What’s the alternative, to see mass slaughter going on funded by your taxes and stay quiet?
If this is about some other incident, then I don’t know, but I think you’ve misread the Macklemore case (if it is about that)
