Watch some Youtube reviews of how the Pi performs with streaming video. It's not great.

xzzy posted:That's how capitalism works. You continually expand your product line to compete with other companies to try and get a bigger slice of all the money in the industry. xzzy posted:On further reflection, maybe they're selling this stuff because chips to build rpi's are nonexistant right now. I've been wanting a second rpi4 for like six months now and they've been out of stock the whole time. The Pi Foundation is a registered charity and it was created to promote a computer science program at a university in the UK. Their motivations are centered around education, not capitalism, which is why they push the price fixing angle so hard: "Pi Zero is a $5 computer!" The price fixing and subsequent shortages has been an issue long before any of the recent chip shortages. There's always been a big flood at the release of a new version, followed by empty shelves for months. I suspect most of them go to "scalpers" aka actual capitalists who will repackage it with high-margin items like wall warts, SD cards, and cable adapters to make a profit, since the Pi Foundation refuses to (or maybe can't because of their charity status). And it also doesn't make sense that they'd be trying to corner any part of the market with the Pico... rather that they'd want to create a device that's consistent across school curricula instead of leaving teachers to use some aliexpress chinesium ESP32 boards that may or may not even have firmware flashed on it yet.
