It's definitely still actively developed

That's quite an understatement.

It has:

• a new SOC
• a new Southbridge
• 5A USB-PD
• a dedicated fan connector
• a dedicated uart connector
• 2 dual purpose DSI/CSU connectors (you can now use two displays or two cameras instead of one of each)
• A PCIE FPC ribbon connector like the one used for DSI/CSI (you don't need a hat, just a ribbon) also the pi4 did not have any accessible PCIE lanes, only the cm4 did. Also the pi5 is capable of PCIE Gen3
• More bandwidth for the usb3 connectors
• more bandwidth for Wi-Fi (reports are it gets about double the bandwidth despite using the same Wi-Fi chip)
• Fully SMD board, no through-hole components.

There's plenty of stuff I would have liked to see that didn't make it, but there definitely a lot more to it than an RTC and a power button. For $60 this is not a bad SBC at all.

I would have liked to see normal HDMI connectors, 2.5G Ethernet with PoE included, and higher RAM options.

More PCIe lanes would have been nice too but probably unlikely given the price point

Ok but the return capsule kinda rides on fire when it re-enters the atmosphere

It does support m.2 (and presumably other single-lane pcie devices via a HAT apparently.

So that's an improvement

I agree with that other reply.

Linus knew just enough to be dangerous.

My experience with most Windows users and their first encounter with using a Linux terminal is every single warning/error they see no matter how mundane is a big deal.

Things like the boot text or a random apt install on Linux will often display various warnings or even "errors" that are really of no concern but ime tend to freak out new users.

Linus is in that narrow band where he doesn't really know shit but knows just enough to be falsely confident and ignore all the warnings/errors instead of just the irrelevant ones

Trickle-down murder

It's the American Dream

Regulations didn’t make Apple change. A viable standard that met their requirements did.

I call bullshit.

USB-C has been around and better than Lightning for a long time, they didn't switch the iPhone to it until they were under pressure by regulators to do so.

If your theory were valid they would have switched many years ago.

The blending will continue until morale improves

This is silly, it's much easier to bill their loved ones

Use KeePass.

My concern with using a text file is you have to defrost it to use it and whenever it's not encrypted it's potentially exposed. You are also vulnerable to keyloggers or clipboard captures

KeePass works entirely locally, no cloud. And it's far more secure/functional than a text file.

I personally use KeePass, secured with a master password + YubiKey.

Then I sync the database between devices using SyncThing over a Tailscale network.

KeePass keeps the data secure at rest and transferring is always done P2P over SSL and always inside a WireGuard network so even on public networks it's protected.

You could just as easily leave out the Tailscale/SyncThing and just manually transfer your database using hardware air-gapped solutions instead but I am confident in the security of this solution for myself. Even if the database was intercepted during transit it's useless without the combined password/hardware key.

But it's worth noting that any emergency call that requires 2G to go through will still work.

Emergency calls will use any network they can reach, even if you disable it.
