  • Raspi4?

    $94 from PiAustralia, or $144 with a case, psu, cables, etc from RS. (both 4GB version, 2GB stock hasn’t been reliable since Covid)

    Plays h.264/265 at 60fps fine, does 10bit too both via hardware accel, can play 1080p vp9 but it’s CPU decode only, can’t handle AV1.

    2x minihdmi, USB-C for power (needs 5V 3A), 802.11ac and BT5, pcie ethernet.

    Raspi5 is a lot more money and removed h264 hardware accel.

    Principles that Im referring to are e.g. abstraction and ‘divide and conquer’. IT exists to make things simple that would otherwise be hard (to put it simply). Why would you deliberately abstain from using an abstraction that makes API testing easier and faster?

    We’ve gone well past that now though and are back into making pointless and unnecessary complications to differentiate products so ‘new solutions’ can be sold managerial types.

    Adding a service that needs to authenticate adds more steps and more complication. It’s not making the task easier.
