I think I like my #Orange_Pi 5 better. We’re past the point where just having the #Raspberry_Pi name was good enough. I’m also looking at a #Banana_Pi model with 4GiB of RAM, mostly as an equivalent of the RPi 4.
As you may know, there has been a long shortage of #RPi boards, enabling other #SBCs to proliferate. Also, there was an issue where they hired a former surveillance cop, then mishandled their response to the community that was justifiably concerned about it.
I wish more !RasPi type SBCs were available locally. I had an idea for running an #MQTT broker / server https://mqtt.org/software/ , but it took so long to get a #Raspberry_Pi Zero Two and an #Orange_Pi Zero Two that I've forgotten why I bought them. (More than a month for the RasPi.)
@lnxw48a1 that is absolutely crazy! I hadn't heard of #Orange_Pi before your post, and since reading it spent my whole morning going down a rabbit whole. I'm blaming you when my boss asks why I'm not done with my project ;-)
@geniusmusing The review sounds very good. I think I should add Orange Pi 5 to my "try this" list. I bought an #Orange_Pi 0, but it tends to overheat, so its utility is limited.
Now this looks pretty cool! I have never heard of the Orange Pi before! I have noticed that Raspberry pi’s are quite expensive now and I found this! It seems to be Chinas alternative which is pretty cool as I liked some of the projects with it. #raspberrypi#linux#computing#orangepi#android
