Raspberry Pi is now manufacturing 70,000 Pi 5s per week, will surge to 90,000 in February

Reply in thread

Completely abandoned their original hobbyist customer base and sent all their inventory to B2B sales channels and scalpers for several years.

And now that they're finally providing B2C vendors with stock, they've jacked up the prices by 100% to 300%.

Don't forget the Raspberry Pi foundation was supposed to be a nonprofit and the only reason they're the premier SBC is the community. Other boards have better specs, at a better price, with better features. The community support, the hobbyists, are the primary reason why they are what they are.

That's just one bad action, but their had been plenty others recently. Some other comments here have provided information you should read, such as hiring police officers who specialized in using Pi's for surveillance..

Donald Trump Suffers Triple Polling Blow in Battleground States

This copium is off the charts ridiculous.

I don't want Trump to win, which is why I think it's incredibly unhelpful to spread the delusion that current polling is favorable to a Biden victory.

That wasn't even true before the debate, but at least there were enough polls within the margin of error that it was possible.

Biden's polling has only gone down since then, while Trump's have trended upwards. Not by the same margins, but still, opposite directions.

This article is actually arguing about changes in polls that are less than 0.5%, seriously, it's a joke...

Here is an aggregated page that links out to over 50 different polls for Georgia, one of the states mentioned in the article where Trump it's supposedly hurting, according to that article:

Here's that same aggregated polling information for the other two states mentioned in the article:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/elections/polls-president-michigan.html

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/elections/polls-president-north-carolina.html

Take a look and tell me if that article, much less it's headline, have any bearing on reality.

Bored ape NFT event attendees get their faces burned by event lighting

Reply in thread

Thank you for saying this, it's what I was coming here to do.

I was laughing, until I read the article. It's fucking horrifying. Schadenfreude should be proportional.

NFT morons losing their money? Hilarious.

Losing their eyesight? Not funny. Not proportional. Just horrific.

Now, if the Nazi fetishizing scam artist asshats that run Bored Ape were blinded by the light at their own convention? That, in my view, would be proportional Schadenfreude.
