minus-squarecmnybo@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 days agoThere are also a lot of mini PCs that are comparable in price to a Raspberry Pi 5 once you factor in the cost of a case, SD card, and power supply for the Pi.
minus-squarecatty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 days agoThat’s only start up cost. What about ongoing 24/7 costs after 2 years?
