Yeah, I think I'll pass. The Raspberry Pi people hired a former police officer who used their stuff in hidden surveillance. Then when people called them out on it on Twitter, Pi blocked those who did. https://petapixel.com/2022/12/09/raspberry-pi-under-fire-by-creators-who-are-upset-it-hired-a-former-cop/
- Was just thinking that when I read the news. Since there are (better?) alternatives out there it's not hard not to support them.
  
  I don’t know if it’s better, but Orange Pi looks great. And there’s another one based on the Pi spec. Can’t comment on how they run their businesses.
- The same thing happened on their mastodon too.^[A Case Study on Raspberry Pi’s Incident on the Fediverse - https://eiara.nz/posts/2022/Dec/09/a-case-study-on-raspberry-pis-incident-on-the-fediverse/] It was wild.

That's awesome, but the real question is - will we be able to buy one for MSRP?
- I've been wanting one for so long and it's been hard

Irrelevant. I'll never find it for sale. Cool tech though.

Everything about this is impressive except that they removed the analogue audio jack. Arcade modders are going to have to find an alternative solution to audio.
- There are already plenty of audio hats available, indeed they are recommended for better quality sound.
- It sucks but a cheap USB sound blaster would work fine here..
- Can't you get audio out via the HDMI ports?

Wonder if it'll be able to emulate a PS2 or N64 game properly. You know, systems that came out 20+ years ago?
- Is this a complaint?
  
  No, it's a hope. So close with the Pi4, I'm hoping this one is finally capable.
  And yeah, actual availability would be nice too.
- Emulating those platform is significantly more resource intensive since you need to emulate the entire architecture and interpret the assembly code, while more modern game consoles are running either ARM or x86/amd64 which makes emulating relatively simpler.
- N64 has unique architecture that makes it very challenging to emulate even on hardware several orders of magnitude more powerful. I've struggled to run it on a full-size PC with a 7th gen i5 processor.

In case you're in a hurry here's the jist for the linked article

I'm hype for this, assuming I can get one

really nice, and very reasonably priced add ons. Not like the compania with the big A charging 25 bucks for a camera cable adapter or something
