They basically still are, it's just the advanced models with extra RAM. A Pi 5 with 16GB of RAM is a perfectly decent PC, and for the price, in the current market, is good. If you want a Pi to use the way you used to... That's still in the region you were thinking. I bought a bunch of Pi 3s for a project recently, cost about £30 each.

Film and TV discussion threads!

Ugh happy for you. I really had in my head that being in the reservation queue meant that I would have mine by now!

One clue to me is the "how many times you moved" statement. One actual human "move" is worth hundreds of what the site calls a move. A human would notice that but the reality of it means nothing to an AI.

Secondly just the language used being quite dramatic but also generic.

Was going to say this myself and then saw your comment. Totally agree. 'Accidently' practically implies that the record keeping itself only happened because some pencils happened to fall on paper. They did exactly what they intended to and used it for their own purpose. It just turned out to have a different purpose, too.

I feel pretty mixed about this to be honest. I haven't bought a Pi in a long time but from what I can see the 5 is pretty clever. It's expensive but RAM is insanely expensive right now. 16GB of RAM alone is expensive. That same RAM jump would cost thousands from Apple.

Meanwhile, the Pi 3 is still on sale for around £30, and the Pi Zero for closer to £10. If you genuinely want something for embedded systems or running scripts the older models are still fantastic for that. The Pi 5 is a viable desktop computer and just in a different category IMO.

Thank you. Had to scroll way too far to read this. People on here are not as technical as I thought.

More likely you weren't the only one making searches like that in that area.

Doomerism like this is not healthy. Things are dire and will get worse for a long time, but the idea that civilisation is guaranteed to collapse is the kind of doom propaganda that fuels inaction. There is so much we can do, and the outcome for future generations better with every positive step we take. What we do does matter, and there's a good chance our core societies will still be going strong in 50 years.

I don't have a link but I believe this has absolutely been studied and it's the same as what OP says above but specifically about fossil fuels. The amount of birds that die to wind turbines is significantly less than the amount of birds that die to the fossil fuel industry.

Oh, that's a fair point then. I'd personally still err on some sort of basic pricing mishap, but perhaps you're right. There definitely is intent to set prices for individuals live but it seems a little odd to be so clandestine about it.

You may not have a loyalty card, but did you pay using a payment card of any kind? They track you through that.
