“Creates the appearance”? I hope he’s careful he doesn’t burn himself with that hot take. We’re out here drowning and these mfs keep clutching their pearls.

Totally! How dare OP post some visual data without having detailed plans about how to solution a company’s various business issues. Super lazy.

Youtube on the RPI5 drops frames and is stuttery. If that’s fine for you, great. But I’d argue it’s not what people consider a good viewing experience. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBQosbjl9Jw&t=278s and https://youtu.be/nBtOEmUqASQ?t=797 if you’d like more info.

The accessories I mentioned for the RPI5 are the bare essentials just to get the thing to power up, boot to a web browser, and connect to a monitor to try to play YouTube, which is the foundation of your original comment. Please show me where a $120 used laptop or desktop tower needs additional hardware purchases to boot and plug in an HDMI cable.

You’re picking the wrong fight with the wrong guy, friend. I’m a huge RPI advocate and I think they are great tools for specific use cases. I simply want to point out that if folks are considering it in the hopes that it’s a small and cheap way to watch YouTube, they’re gonna have a bad time.

Yep. First of all, the person who said an RPI5 can show YouTube HD just fine is lying. It’s still stuttery and drops frames (better than the RPI4b, but still not great). Second, you’ll end up dropping well north of $100 for the RPI5, active cooler, case, memory card (not even mentioning an m2 hat), power supply, and cable / adapter to feed standard HDMI.

You can find some really solid used laptops and towers in that price range, not to mention the n100 NUC. And they’ll all stream YouTube HD much better, as well as provide a much smoother desktop experience overall.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me a RPI, I run a couple myself. They’re just not great daily drivers, especially if you want to stream HD content.

If enough CEOs were eliminated for the same reason, the rest might start remembering they have a duty to society.

No. They’ll hire private security and reduce their public exposure. Ironically, this will end up costing the company more and potentially increasing prices as a result.

The last thing they’ll do is suddenly become introspective and sympathetic.

It’s not the total number of clicks that matters. It’s the fact that several options (sleep, reboot, shut down) are the same final click and often a pixel or two away from each other.

Get a pellet gun and shoot them down. You’ll find out quickly who is doing it when they trespass on your property to retrieve their downed hardware.

Yep. Drill down one level in a few control panel items and you’re back in win xp.

Or, ideally, liquidated and sold a department at a time to existing competitors, to ensure actual competition

Oh my sweet, summer child…
