Just to add that their ability to design custom SoC packages is becoming a real competency and pays dividends as we see in the Zero 2, where the SoC was made to fit in the constraints of the PoP ram packaging scheme. Pretty slick.
The cpu that handles memory on an SD card is typically a 100mhz 32bit ARM.
You can see the ARM controller at the upper right in this image... it's mounted as a COB or chip-on-board.
6. Great! Love Apple Pie and Raspberry Pi together.
Is it Windows 11 certified? If so forget it.
I got a rasberry pi 400 and have a ball with it. still exploring everything i can do
Hadn't thought of that for...decades... Loved it!
Thanks
I have a few slide rules. I pull them out once in a while.
with the exponential technology increase we have had since the 60’s and the same increase in the available money supply
It almost makes one wonder if humans have ever really walked on the moon and came back to talk about it.
I was hoping for an upgrade to the Pi 4 but an able $15 unit is cool and good for the kids. I’m wanting to make a Home Media Center from a Pi 4 or Pi 400 which is a Pi 4 built into a keyboard and we usually end up using a wireless USB keyboard anyway for a firestick or the nVidia Shield TV. The stick as outdated and the Shield went capoot so I’m wanting to replace them with something that has zero preinstalled app crapp and isn’t a product of BigTech.
Mine (first) was one of the original IMB PCs. It's clock ran at 4.77 Mhz. (It cost just over $3000) - (This was in 1981, mind you, when I was a Junior in High school.)
I even shelled out the extra dollars for a SECOND 360K Full height 5 1/4 inch floppy disk drive! And as a Christmas gift for my little brother a few years later I bought him a Commodore VIC - 20.
And today I am typing this post on a Kamrui Quad-Core Celeron
with 8GB of RAM and 256GB Solid State Disk that cost me $277.
Time and technology marches on....
Thankfully, no Microsoft will work. This is a big tech free zone.
So, WHAT works on it?
NewTek is still around, and still making PC-based production switchers/streamers. Instead of the Video Toaster, they're now called Tricaster.
And of course, NewTek hired "Booth Babe" Kiki Stockhammer to be their spokesperson at the NAB, and even had a wipe effect of her silhouette.
I’ve read the article 2x, watched the yt video and STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS...
It is something you might not personally need, but if you got the kit, it might be a great holiday gift for some nerdy relative
From Wikipedia -
The Raspberry Pi is a series of single-board computers. They are low-cost, high-performance and the size of a credit card. The Raspberry Pi was developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The Raspberry Pi Foundation's goal is to "advance the education of adults and children, particularly in the field of computers, computer science and related subjects."[1] Many people have used Raspberry Pis to make things like cameras, video game consoles, robots, web servers and media centres.
Raspberry pi are single board computers that people use for all kinds of little DIY side projects.
Pretty much all Raspberrys run Linux. BSD is also possible. Windows is typically viewed as too restrictive.
Personal heart rate monitors, video game emulators, bike mounted RPM meter, various electronic/voltage reading, facial recognition projects, data servers and game servers and print servers and much more. They are also used as main desktops.

Thanks for the clarification. I’ll just keep Win-7 Pro x64 purring along on both desktops.
Just curious - I genuinely want to know and not trying to be provocative - why isn’t there much interest in getting off of big tech MS with your existing hardware? Do you have a particular application or use case that keeps you in place?
I have a LOT of “legacy software” that won’t run on Linux, Win-8-10-11 etc, so I am staying with Win-7 Pro x64; it works just fine in these 2 commercial/industrial HP boxes.
The little red box next to the coffee mug is the Raspberry pi computer. Itty bitty thing, ain't it?
