Hello Anonymous, yesterday i bought my first SBC, so i thought... "what's a better way to celebrate it, than to shill them?" So here we are.
the pros:
Most SBC have ARM chips, witch are designed by ARM, but fabricated by third parts. This means that the only modern CPUs whitout backdoors are ARM CPUs, not that all ARM CPUs are backdoor free, just that everything else is totally backdoored, to be safe you are not buying a backdoored CPU try to buy one that has not been fabricated in the USA or one of its puppet states like Taiwan or south Korea.
And ARMs CPUs are RISC so they produce little heat(subjective) witch allows passively cooled systems and don't consume much power, so i guess they have that going for them...
the cons:
they are garbage.
On witch SBC to pick: as you can see i bought a rock pi, this is because its whit the nano pi one of the few good SBCs, i bought the rock pi instead of the nano pi because the nano pi was out of stock.
/g/ is garbage and the SBC issue is an issue about freedom so this thread belongs in /l/
