Google doesn't put GCP compute inside Equinx Slough. I could perhaps believe if they have a cage of routers and perhaps even CDN boxes/Edge, but no general cloud compute. Google and AWS will put routers inside Equinx Slough sure,

It is not that difficult to build it into your app, if you're already storing information about hosts, networking etc. All you're really doing is expanding the scope, netbox is a fine starting point if you're willing to star

The hyperscalers are absolutely not colo-ing their general purpose compute at Equinix! A cage for routers and direct connect, maybe some limited Edge CDN/compute at most. Even where they do lease wholesale space, you'd be hard pus

Yes, the second is much more work, orders of magnitude at least.

If you’re using 7280-SR3 switches, they’re certainly a fine choice. However, have you considered the 7280-CR3(K) range? They're much better $/Gbps and more relevant edge interfaces. At this scale, why did you opt for a spine-and-l

Presumably there's no way of fingerprinting the footage itself as 'unlicenced' so the closest they get is asking the studio what camera serials they used to film. What about if you're a YouTuber, surely they don't p

It's interesting, I just think the second order effects might be a bit scary. Having said that I guess for FDI there's always the option of getting a local company to "JV" with like in China.

I'm British and it's very easy to setup EU companies, many UK companies have HAD to due to Brexit.

I think the ship has sailed, but regardless isn't it all meaningless? Surely they can setup a company to get around it, or will be ban all foreign ownership of shares too?

Of course, it's just more demand, like immigration, aging population and so on. Of course those are a much more difficult target..

Of course not! Such an insane plan.

It was certainly in place at the launch of SuperJanet in 1993, where 55 Universities each got a 34Mbps connection. I could believe only 2Mb to the USA, but it had a number of connections to europe and UK ISPs that were faster.

No two separate things, you cannot, basically, trade under a charity structure, it would be almost legally impossible for the charity to be selling the raspberry Pis. Captain tom was just a badly run charity, they didn't trade.

No, I can see in 10K volume it's a bit over $3, and RPI will be paying less for sure. Even if we look at farnell for a qty of 50.. https://uk.farnell.com/micron/mt53e512m32d1zw-046-wt-b/dram-... 50 - £9.29 EX

by matt-p 2y ago
There's no way that's what RPI are paying, or even close - it should be somewhere around $7 or so for a 4GB part, $3.60-4 for a 2GB part. If we use your prices above just as a "scale" then you can already see here that 1

Great unless you need low power, ARM, small form factor, GPIO, or ability to load your software to a compute module. Also not an argument for users buying 2GB/4GB models I suppose.

by matt-p 2y ago
I agree it would be ideal to have a mini m2 slot, sata port or similar. You can at least now buy HATs. Lets be honest many people will have old/spare/extra phone/laptop chargers that they can use to power a Pi. SD cards are c

To be fair to the raspberry pi group, I think they were in a difficult position and the whole thing was getting much, much bigger than they ever had anticipated. On the grapevine, they had more money than they knew how to get rid of in acco

Charity and trading company were/are separate (as practically required, in the UK) A charity can't really trade in the same way a company can. For example a charity can't register for VAT (sales tax). The way it normally work

You can buy a Pi5 2GB today for $50 (or sometimes slightly less) and that is really their premium product line. Model As, picos, Zero Ws etc are all cheaper than that original PI price after adjusting for inflation and are typically more fl

Yes, and there is cost in maintaining an extra SKU. It would cost about $3 to make the 2GB RPI5 a 4GB PI5, and you might save something close to that by removing a SKU. You then get a bunch of new applications (which need more RAM) for your

They listed last summer, so now have public company incentives - I get it. However given the cost of RAM is quite cheap, sales are slower after the initial Pi5 rush and there are a number of competitors would it have been much better for th

I guess so. I don't begrudge them money, but I wish they could find a better way to make it than resorting to the old apple business model.

by matt-p 2y ago
The bigger question to my mind is why does 14GB of RAM cost $70? 2GB Pi5 - $50 16GB Pi5 - $120 I can see the uses of having more RAM, but surely it's cheap enough to make 4GB standard, with options for 8/16GB that are sensibly pri

That's a fair point, but does time delay or secondary notification (the latter could be done for magic links of course) really outweigh the practical security risk of password reuse, attacks, leaks etc? I would argue not, unless the us
