What elementary school student needs "proper Ethernet" (whatever that is)? You miss the entire point of the system.You aren't qualified to evaluate people who have shipped 20 million devices. I already stated the facts: this is a learning system with an easy to access desktop, toolchain and ecosystem. No one cares if the Ethernet/USB is shared or it doesn't have colored pins or whatever faults you have with the design. Mission accomplished. "This time would have better spend if they had worked at McDonalds instead". Seriously: fuck you.
Yes. Choose your flavor of multiple incompatible systems. Again, you guys miss the point: this is a learning/prototyping device. It is supposed to be an easily accessible system at a low cost price point. You can't just point a teacher at Aliexpress and say "pick one".
And yet....it is being used widely as a low-cost learning and prototyping device. So many critical "experts" on Slashdot. Amazing. No color coded pins? Damn.
Without the Raspberry Pi those "competitors" wouldn't even exist. That is why they all have "Pi" in their name. People that try to denigrate the efforts of people who worked really hard to bring these types of open learning systems into the world are the worst type.
Again you guys miss the point: the hardware isn't "defective". It might not meet the supposedly high-end specs you need, but that is the design. The value is having a system with an easy to access desktop, toolchain and ecosystem at a very low price point. It is to introduce new people (students) to hardware/software. People who complain about things like shared USB and stuff like that totally missed the point. And make no mistake, you are a hater as you are insulting the people who worked very hard on the Pi. The problem with "numerous competitors" is that they are numerous. How is a teacher or student supposed to choose which Aliexpress "competitor" is better?
Outrageous! I have been beaten again. I need to up my game and be more careful of my posts on here, before I lose more arguments. In the future I will more clearly mark my opinions as such, and facts as well. I will also add citations to my facts. After all, I definitely want to be taken seriously here.
You Pi haters always missed the point. This is a low-cost learning and prototyping device, not an industrial grade system. It isn't about specs. It is about developing a system that non-experts can learn from that is readily accessible.
Exactly. The reason it is the most impressive thing in computing in the last 10 years is that it brought back a resurgence of learning about electronics that was lost since the early days of personal computing. It is accessible to (almost) everyone.
Possibly true, except for the fact THAT HE IS ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING. The problem with you Space Nutters is you just read scifi books and think you know the answers and ridicule NASA for not following along with your space fantasies.
Oh really? My mistake. I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to post my opinions here. I thought I had to post YOUR opinion. Sorry snowflake: the Raspberry PI line is the most impressive thing coming out of computing in the last 10 years. That is BOTH my opinion, and fact. If you don't think so, let's hear a counter argument why.
+1 for Truth. Same goes for the Space/AI nutters. Just because you can earn six figures doing JavaScript doesn't mean you know anything about solving real engineering issues.
The Raspberry PI line is the most impressive thing coming out of computing in the last 10 years. Of course, people will say "you can get better specs...Orange Pi...blah blah blah", but Raspberry PI is organized and has the entire chain figured out.
Yeah we all know about Germans and "agreements". They haven't been hitting their Co2 emission reduction targets and have been increasing their coal imports: http://www.mining.com/web/germ...
Much like Germany's "clean diesel" claims, it is all a lie.
Yeah, right. One thing I have noticed about Europeans in general: they are delusional. They think they are "green". Meanwhile they lie about diesel emissions and Germany is INCREASING their coal imports. http://www.mining.com/web/germ...
You guys see everyone else as the problem. Stupid Americans right? Yet we are the #2 country in renewable energy generation. Stupid Germans.
Slashdot Mirror
Agreed. People should stop posting opinions here, and stick to facts, or clearly mark their opinions as such. It helps the autistics among us.

Thanks man! I just need the last word here (to feed my ego). I was really stupid to post my opinion as fact here and not clearly mark it as such.

Sorry sunshine, here is another fact: you are an autistic moron. Time to grow up.

The other thing that helps is to use log2ram as it seems to reduce writes quite a bit.
My mistake. In the future I will only post absolute facts and not opinions here. I will also direct others to do the same.

No, it is the most impressive thing to come out of computing in the last 10 years. That is a perfectly cromulent expression.

So does electric shock. It isn't magic. You mess up the brain you get all kinds of weird effects.
Nope. Germany is expected to import more coal in 2019: http://www.mining.com/web/germ...
Reality is different from the delusional German fanboys.
They are just replacing it by importing it from other countries: http://www.mining.com/web/germ...
Germany is a complete joke.

Exactly. It is a NEW plant. Plus they are importing more coal every year: http://www.mining.com/web/germ...
Germany is importing huge amounts of coal, and is poised to import even more this year: http://www.mining.com/web/germ...
Germany is a mess.
