Am unexpected part of getting old is realizing you can get more computing power than your second or third desktop PC for 10$, next day shipping

Pico 2 or other R2350-based MCU: two 150 Mhz ARM cores and two similar RISC-V cores. That's more CPU than I had in a computer until an Athlon 64 in 2003-2004.

And you can buy them on a reel, for about five bucks each.

Only ~256KB RAM, though. But it's still five times as much as I had on my family's Atari 8-bit.

Sometimes I forget we're living in the future.

I miscalculated. This thing is 1.2 ghz, 256mb ram, running Linux. I didn't have that much power until... God, college?

Yeah I had an iBook G3, which maxed out at 900mhz, and 256mb ram standard.

That was like 1300-1700$ in 2003. So 2300-3000$ today.

VS 10$. Shipped.

For a very American comparison, I typed "hamburger" into a food delivery thing and it told me 11.80$, plus delivery fees.

I've known for a while you can get entire computers for less than the price of a sandwich but I hadn't fully come to terms with how much of a computer you can get for less than the price of a burger

@foone@digipres.club yeah, I did built a real-life shitpost as in "cheapest compiter you can buy new" and that turns oit cheaper than a decent burger menu (or even crappy slop burgers from a big joint*…
