That sucks, I hope this isn’t a statement about the “Mini-Pc” market in general. I’ve been thinking about getting one as a “Steam machine/ emulation station” for a long time but the stars never really lined up.

I’ve got a full sized PC in the front room getting long in the tooth and looking ridiculous that could easily be replaced. But while the 970 still plays Dave the Diver, well there’s other shit money can be spent on.

Wasn’t meant as a reply, pressed the wrong thing, my bad

I know, why didn’t the beehaw mods consult you before they decided their names?! How selfish of them!

In lieu of a better source I found this BuzzFeed News article with the Google search “Raspberry pi mastodon controversy”. Though I admit I had no idea what op might be talking about until this moment. Some zingers by BF in there though:

She added, “I don’t think any of the people complaining here would not call the police if their house was burgled.” When BuzzFeed News pointed out that police don’t surveil burglars, Upton agreed that’s true.

Class.

Not op but have used an IP to cook pasta. I could absolutely see the appeal.

Ultimately I use the stove top but that’s for 2 main reasons:

1 Being UK based, I have electric kettles and enough power in the sockets to drive them. Combined with a gas stove that means quick meals are quicker.

2 The IP will fully cook the pasta and easily overcook it, I prefer pasta underdone if anything.

Stove top just grants more flexibility for doneness for various thicknesses of pasta at the cost of another pan.

So if 1&2 don’t apply to you give it a shot.

That’s a shame. Their pressure cooker and air frier are pretty good £/performance. I’m usually using one or the other to make a main/side. I even ferment doughs and yogurts in the IP.

I’ve not found a glass jug comparable to the .5L Pyrex measuring jug. Maybe its a psychological thing, but I’m happy to abuse pyrex in a way I won’t other glass products. The shallow-wide 1L jugs seem to have pouring issues no matter who makes them.
