Guys, don’t take the claim so literally. He’s a successful tech poster. He makes good money showing off his purchases the good money complaining about how expensive they were.

But certainly don’t imitate his choices, his economics aren’t your economics!

Thats pretty much a given, but what the real takeaway should be from most of the content is that whatever you are doing, these days the answer in all likelihood is not to buy a raspberry pi. It's specs to price just do not add up at all anymore, and it's looking like a pretty damn stagnant place these days.

What if you need ARM? What is the best sub $100 sbc that I am missing? Orange Pi hardware always looks good but I hear a lot of negativity about the software that I don't really experience with Raspbian.

RockChip, maybe? Little bit pricier but more powerful than Rpi?
