tl;dr: Summary not available
HN Discussion:
  • ↑Raspberry Pi has become overpriced; used mini PCs, NUCs, or thin clients are better alternatives
  • ↑Old smartphones or salvaged devices make better cheap Linux hobby platforms than Pis
  • ↑ESP32 or microcontrollers suffice for GPIO/embedded hobby needs, making Pi unnecessary
  • ~Most users don't need 16GB; stick to smaller Pi variants and ignore high-end SKUs
  • ~Modern top-tier Pis are legitimately ARM PCs and useful as daily drivers, though pricing is steep
