True, sadly. Honestly it's already there in certain specific respects.
This is kind of like asking, "what is water worth?"
To an upper middle class person in the developed world, a dollar or two. To a person stranded in a desert, they might literally kill for it.
If you are just a Joe shmoe out in the world living a basic life, privacy might not be worth hardly anything. But if you're a whistle blower or a political dissident in an authoritarian country, your privacy is worth everything.
I'm constantly amazed at the longevity of this probe, so awesome!
We're lucky that the SBC space has gotten really solid over the last couple years. ARM-based, X86-based, and even some RISC-V systems.
The PI isn't the only only game in town now, and actually gets beat in several different applications depending on use case.
As shareholder value and line-must-go-up takes over the company culture, progress and innovation will happen more and more in the hands of companies and orgs that actually care about their product's quality and features.
Still disappointing though, the Pi was my first introduction to IoT and low power computing.
Let the enshitification begin!
If somebody shows you who they really are, believe them the first time...
Wild for sure. It's pretty clear that M$ isn't interested in making their OS anything more than a portal for their cloud products.
The overall percentage of revenue that Windows produces for them directly has been steadily shrinking for years while their Azure and cloud services/licensing has grown dramatically.
I guess it makes sense from that perspective. Call me old fashioned, but I still prefer my OS to be a platform for me to compute locally on and use as I see fit. Not be a bloated ad-ridden portal to a walled garden of proprietary web software.
Windows has gotten so bad in the last year or so, that I've actually started telling people, "Try Linux, but if that doesn't work for you, just go with Apple."
Both are scummy, evil mega corps that try to lock you into their platform forever. But at least with Apple, the cage is 24K gold with a little cushion, and you're fed avocado toast & kombucha.
Windows is a rusty, filthy prison cell where the guards randomly come in to rough you up and you're fed a steady diet of stale bread heels and gruel.
Go easy on them, they're only a 3 trillion dollar company. It's hard for them to get the resources to build well thought out and secure software.
Pathetic, so glad I've been on Linux for years. I don't miss Micro$oft one bit.
I know some folks on the SysAdmin discord mentioned it wasn't working for them anymore. It also stopped working for me about 2 months ago. (I work in IT and set to up new computers fairly often)
But looking online real quick, several sources including Tom's Hardware claim it still works. So I'm not sure what's going on with it. Maybe your milage may vary?
Copyright is bullshit, so no.
