I find their pricing to be rather reasonable. They even have a lifetime plan.

I’m sure it varies from country to country, but here in Canada, at least Ontario, which is the only province that I am familiar with when it comes to teaching requirements, you would definitely need to attend teacher’s college, which is a two year program.

Realistically, you should always try to keep a decent food storage in your home.

Not only does proper food storage mean you are prepared in the event of some disaster or item scarcity, such as toilet paper during covid, but it also keeps grocery costs down, as you can buy discounted items in bulk and work through them until you find them at a good price to stock up again.

I realize that storage space can be limited in a home, but even when I lived in a tiny apartment I did my best to dedicate enough space for a month or two of extra food supplies.

Are there comparable alternatives? I never found another launcher that I like as much.

I’m in a similar boat. While my current setup is getting by, I’m in the market for something better.

I’m hoping that the shield will soon get a refresh when Nintendo releases their next console. If so, I’ll be picking up a shield for sure.

There’s no enshitification happening if the product hasn’t gotten any worse. It’s just a pricing change. In fact, if the pricing change does in fact lead to a better product then this is the complete opposite of enshitification.

While I was initially skeptical about the pricing changes, the more I learned about it the more I was okay with it. I think part of the initial problem was the talk of annual subscriptions, when in fact it’s much closer to paying for version upgrades. Their new standard licenses have come down in cost from the old perpetual licensing and the price of a version upgrade is only $36.

Definitely agree they should be split up if possible. Octoprint and Home Assistant are both rather demanding on a Pi, particularly the Pi 3B.

I would however opt to run Pi-Hole on the Home Assistant device as there is a plugin built in for it, and Home Assistant is the kind of thing you would be more likely to leave on at all times.

I wouldn’t recommend most of the cheap Android boxes. Most of the are full of malware. LTT did a video comparing most major Android boxes: https://youtu.be/sdLnieL90d0?si=6nAX8E0d9c4OZXqM

I totally get it. I just happen to work on the IT team that manages our companies mobile devices, so I’m not too fused about the privacy implications of putting some personal things on a work device. I know my personal data is kept separate, and I have backups of any data that is important.

Whatever work pays for

 

One turns to the other and says, “How do you drive this thing?”

 

For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?
