   @lnr @sparrowsion @mobbsy @pseudomonas and yet somehow availability is so much worse in the UK than elsewhere. Over half my Pis have been sent out of uk only to be sent back in at my request.

   (If i still lived in Cambridge, things might be different.)

     @sesquipedality @sparrowsion @lnr @pseudomonas @mobbsy I do not still live in Cambridge, but am prone to the odd shopping trip there.

     @sesquipedality @lnr @pseudomonas @mobbsy the only 4 I run fanless is my OpenWRT router and that sits at about 65° with a CPU heat sink.

     @goatsarah @lnr @pseudomonas @mobbsy i seem to go there about once every 5 years at the moment. It's too long to wait for Pi stuff. My 5 is on back order from Pimorni. Or the pi hut, I forget which.

     Oh, and the 5 is supposed to happily run fanless. Just with lower performance (but still better than the 4).

     @pseudomonas @lnr @sesquipedality @mobbsy Laptops don't generally have GPIO pins and suchlike. They also, IME, make extremely poor servers because of the form factor. Horses for courses.

     @sesquipedality @goatsarah @lnr @mobbsy Ouch. I've just looked on ebay at prices for RPi models. with delivery I'm looking at about €40 for a zero and about €50-€90 for other models. That's kinda a lot given that I can find second hand laptops starting at about €50.

     @sesquipedality @lnr @pseudomonas @mobbsy I’ve found that if it’s doing video processing for HomeKit secure video, a 4 will will run the fan once every minute or so, for a few seconds, to prevent throttling.

     So far the 5 seems to run a fair bit cooler. IME, 4S idle at about 60°. The 5 seems to be idling at 50°

     @goatsarah @lnr @pseudomonas @mobbsy I am not running any of my 4s, with a fan, including the one that's in the SmartPi enclosure that comes with a fan.
