Aha, here comes the 16gb Pi 500 with a working M.2 slot. It never stops.
Do I feed sarcasm? Because I actually struggle to set up my Pi5 with the M2 hat I go ๐ฅฒ.
Just curioys, why wouldn't you buy say a 50โฌ thinkcentre instead or a raspberry?
Same reason as any other mini PC.
GPIO.
Honestly there is no other reason to use pi. Just the simple ability ti connect and build your own connection stuff.
Pi is by far the easiest system with a well suppirted os and api for learning\experimentation.
When to comes to using as a desktop etc. There are loads of better options if gpio is not wanted.
The comment was about the 500, which currently has non-working M2, as a money grab apparently.
