I need a strong reminder that the various RPi3s I have scattered around are working fine as is put your wallet down Ben.
Similar feels over here, Ben.
There are two in my actual eyeline.
When a Pi has better specs than your laptop...😢
It actually has better specs than my 11 years old (from 2007) Sony laptop.
But my laptop's battery life (10 minute) is much longer than RPi4's battery life (n/a).
Oof. Just built a mini-cluster with 8x B+ Pis. Should have waited :'(
Same here, I bought the previous generation two months ago...although I mostly use it to test out how a software of mine performs on low-end machines - had so many ideas to work on but no time to learn more about it so far.
What did you use the cluster for? Been thinking about building a K8s cluster with these new Pis.
Building a Hadoop / Spark cluster :-)
Hell yeah. It working alright so far?
Woah thats sick!
Haven't quite got it up and running yet, but when I do, I'll post a Dev article ;-)
The $55 version should be strong enough for some home automation tasks, yeah?
Even overkill IMO, the $35 model or the RPi 3 should be more than enough.
The old RPi3 has the resources for it, as well
$55 for the high end version and $120 for the full kit... Im not sure what I would use a pi for that I would be willing to spend that kind of money on...
Nice surprise though, maybe I would be more enthusiastic if I used mine more!
Yep, this is what I'm waiting for.
What are you going to build?
Because of it's resources I intend to replace my old test server based on Pi3. I hope to work much better with Ubuntu server and MySql because version 3 is a little slow. Basically I use it mostly for my Go projects.
Oooooh, there's an idea. I'm just getting into Go. You using it as a testbed for Go scripts?
Yes. In Go you can write pretty complex applications wich run very good on low resources hardware like Raspberry. A big advantage is that you can use Raspbian desktop and LiteIDE to write the apps directly on it (imagine that is very easy for IoT applications which use GPIO). This environment works well on the old Pi3 and I'm expect to work much better on Pi4.
Will the RPi4 survive a idiot connecting 5v to the 3.3v rail?
PS the RPi3b+ didn't.🤣
"Asking for a friend!"
Wish I was, it was not the first RPi death at my hands probably not the last either. 😂😂
I do need to grab a RPi4 anyway.
Mine arrived in the post today - everything I've tried and bothered to benchmark is 2-3x faster. Storage via usb and ethernet are way faster and seem to cause less load too.
Go on, you know you want to buy one....
Great review over at Tom's Hardware.
If anyone wants to invest in a fan with the heatsink, check out Microsoft's active cooling your RPi 3 to see how they have done it. It is utterly one of the most creative solution!
Yeah, who needs apples when you can have apple PIs (read: apple pies) :P
