Agreed, a while ago I tried one of the Orange pi boards for a mere $10. While you get a lot of bang for the buck, the support community for alternative boards is tiny. I spent quite a bit of time working out the kinks to get to similar util

Looks cool but not doesn't provide much insight. I would highly recommend the Observatory of Economic Complexity. Unsexy 2d block visualizations but conveys relevant data very well: http://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/

The Cortex-A53 is also used in the Orange Pi 2, a Raspberry Pi 3 alternative for $20. On paper this is some nice bang for the buck hardware, just the implementation is sub par.

The D1 mini definitely is nice, I have a dozen of them running all over the house, controlling the lights, monitoring CO2, temp, humidity, power/gas/water usage the works. Do get the feeling that they might start congesting my rou

It seemed to me the question was asked in the context of some closing small talk, and got a very Musk answer :) as far as I know, the Tesla assembly lines have nowhere near the amount of robotics of the much larger volume lines of for insta
