Pi 4 has over twice the performance per watt (see https://the-diy-life.com/raspberry-pi-drag-race-pi-1-to-pi-5-performance-comparison/), so I think that may be the sweet spot for certain uses, but I agree that the 3 is still a perfectly capable device for so many projects.

Also the 3 is the last one to have a full HDMI port which makes it really appealing for display related projects.

After reading your comment on price I checked Microcenter, an authorized pi dealer, and you’re right. The pi 5 with 16gb is listed at $200.

One of the best personal audio devices ever, IMHO.

Does he actually ride a motorcycle?

I would love to become one of these lost customers.

You should take notes about how you set up each app. I have a directory for each self hosted app, and I include a README.md that includes stuff like links to repos and tutorials, lists of nuances of the setup, itemized lists of things that I’d like to do with it in the future, and any shortcomings it has for my purposes. Of course I also include build scripts so I can just “make bounce” and the software starts up without me having to remember all the app-specific commands and configs.

If a tutorial gets you 95% of the way, and you manage to get the other 5% on your own, write down that info. Future you will be thankful. If not, write a section called “up next” that details where you’re running into challenges and need to make improvements.

Bazzite utilizes Steam Gaming Mode by forking ChimeraOS’s gamescope-session and modifying it to fit the needs of our operating system.

Seriously. This would be a sweet Linux phone.

I hate X, but good luck with this:

The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans and who they claim to be,

I switched from Firefox to Librewolf about a month ago and it’s been wonderful. I can’t imagine what it would take for me to switch back to Firefox. I’ll probably ride Librewolf until the project dies or gets corrupted.

Respect is earned, not granted. You don’t earn respect by telling people to glue pepperoni onto their pizza, or saying there are 5 R’s in strawberry.

Tangent: I tried to hook up a keyboard to my steam deck and it just wouldn’t work. I tried two keyboards, both usb. I used a usb hub and a direct usb cable, but neither worked. Steam was open the whole time. All combinations worked fine on my iPad. What on earth was I doing wrong?

You can run windows in docker. https://github.com/dockur/windows

The modern internet kinda sucks. I wish I could time travel back to pre-2007.

Fuckin seriously. It’s like they want people to leave.

It wouldn’t have taken much effort to find that gaping back door.

I hate the notch, and I used to say I’d rather have a bezel, but after going back to one of my pre-notch laptops, not having a bezel is nice. I still hate the notch though. I wish I could opt for just not having a built in webcam. It’s not like they use it for faceid, and I use an external webcam for work meetings anyway. Plus the iPhone seamlessly works as a webcam.

but that’s because the OS is designed in such a way where there’s nothing there

This is not true. There are multiple third party apps that help you avoid having menu icons disappear behind the notch. I don’t use those though, and instead blindly drag my menu icons behind the notch repeatedly until the one I want pops out from behind it.
