@CraftComputing @Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social it's similarly shit like the #BananaPiZeroM2 / #BPi0M2 because if a CS professior can't get an SBC to output anything but 720p60, it's the fault of the company that creates it - not the users buying it.

#Apps make #OperatingSystems,
Operating Systems make #Hardware.
That's why people put up with the shit of #Apple and some even can tolerate #Microsoft apparently...
@cloudyc Yeah, or one of those that barely function [i.e. #BananaPi #BPi0M2 which spec-wise should wipe the floor with @Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social's #Pi0W but don't even support anything but 720p60 output!]

Let's just say I'd not trust an #SBC where the only supported images are on some MEGA.nz or GoogleDrive / box.com accounts and the documentation doesn't even specify how to reproducibly build a minimal Linux for it.
@chksome Or maybe
@geerlingguy works professionally with
@Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social SoC's...
After all, #RaspberryPi #CM4's are extremely common since they have what all their #clones and #competitors lack:
EXCELLENT DOCUMENTATION!
Even if the #BananaPi #BPi0M2 should wipe the floor with the #Pi0W / #Pi0 even #IT professors can't get it to work in any other mode than 720p60...
@ethanOS thx but I'm still figuring out how to get the #BananaPiZeroM2 #BPi0M2 working as a drop-in replacement for the @Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social #Pi0W & #Pi0 since #RaspberryPi seems more unwilling than unable to get units sold via their distributors at #MSRP.
Cuz the scalpers charge €60+ for a #Pi0W and €120+ for a #Pi0 v1.3 when both are actually €10 and €5 MSRP.
Industrial customers however seem to get double-digit numbers at MSRP just fine...
@Natanox As much as I'd consider alternatives to @Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social since their stuff is being scalped beyond insane, a lot of those suffer from poor software support, worse availability and even higher prices.
That being said I do use a #BananaPiZeroM2 / #BPi0M2 since the #Pi0/#Pi0W is being scalped >10x it's #MSRP and I've yet to find a good #CM4 / #Pi4B replacement that isn't out of production, double the price or unsupported by even @ubuntu or #Debian...
@B_Whitewind @rpilocator Personally, I did make the "cheapest PC you can buy / build new challenge" with a @Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social #Pi0W before it was getting scalped >>€100 , so instead I chose to go with a #BananaPi #BPi0M2 instead, which also has the advantage of a U.FL connector onboard and eben 10/100-Base-T (half-duplex) via some pins.
Sparing me the bottom-mounting USB-Hub+Ethernet with PoE adapters and instead a cheaper, pasive PoE adaptor.
@HackyScientress Ich würd's sehr begrüßen und IMHO könntest du sogar von der #RuneAudio - Community möglicherweise preorders einsammeln.

Bonuspunkte wenn auch #USB als Schnittstelle unterstützt wird für weitere Plattformen sowie als "HBB" [Header Below Board] [bspw. #Pi0W & #BananaPi #BPi0M2... staclable...
