I thought he was Tom’s uncle.


Netflix is a publicly traded company, lying about something like a huge increase in subscribers would get them in legal trouble for lying to investors.


But even then, it goes down to the manufacturing of that chip. RPi foundation chooses it because it’s built to a cost and they cannot afford outbid people for it. So again, manufacturing profits. Whether it’s because RPi cannot afford to pay more for those chips to get what they need, or factories are simply de-prioritizing those chips for others that make them more money.


The Raspberry Pi Foundation doesn’t own factories… They have to pay for manufacturing capacity and thus are limited in that capacity because their boards are built to a very strict cost that they seldom raise.



Because manufacturers prefer profits over the race to the bottom pricing strategy of many SBCs.


I do tone mapping just fine with a 1050 TI. It just happened to be what I had left over for my server and it works very well.


Contact Google support, I have no trouble port forwarding using the home app, other than their app is a bit cumbersome.





Only two kinds of people believe in infinite growth; economists and psychopaths.


I think this has more to do with the refurbished small form factor business PCs eating up their market share as they flooded the market. I can get a decent i5 unit for $100and throw a $100 into it in upgrades and hit the same performance as their $300-400+ price range.




Well, there’s always the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mantra. There’s a few reasons I tend to update. Because there’s a feature I want or need, to fix a big that affects me, or because a software frequently updates with breaking changes and keeping up with reading change logs is the best way to deal with that. The last option is usually because if I keep up with it I don’t have to read and fix multiple months of breaking changes.


What is driving you to need to update so often?


It depends on the project. If the project doesn’t make an effort to highlight them I would consider using a different one.

But any decent OSS will make a good change log for their updates that you can read.


You read breaking changes before you update things, that’s how.
