My point is that you don't actually need that extra speed or ram or whatever. And my orange 1GB PI from a decade ago can do anything I want still.

    It depends on your use case of course. A simple website is sufficient like you said using a orange pi. Running your own LLM model at home is not sufficient. Or compiling the Linux kernel. Or 4k gaming..

    With the exception of LLM it's just a bit incrementally better? Like I game on full hd, I have an old pc that can compile anything (why do it on a rpi 😁?!)... A simple web page can be done on an esp, and way less if you want the hassle of course.

    I mean go ahead, but for me it's not really better enough to be worthwhile.

    And LLM hardware is way too expensive still, IMO.
