SBCs take a hit
21 August 2026There was a time when anyone with a hankering for tinkering could pick up a Raspberry Pi or other single-board computer (SBC), spend a few hours on a keyboard and create a wonderous thing.
Imagine, having a computer with the power of a Cray supercomputer that is about the same size as a deck of cards and which costs just a few tens of dollars.
Yes, this little cluster of electronic components can do magic and it can (I mean "could") do so for little more than the price of a takeaway meal.
Oh, how times have changed!
Forums are Down
Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?
