Are you accounting for stuff like SATA cables and cradle mounts for the HDDs in your cost calculation?

Yes, USB-PD requires a handshake confirming that both the charger and device are capable of using it.
I didn’t look any further than the article listing the power supply as 5V5A so its good that it supports higher voltages, but really odd that it’d push out 25W at 5V as this is very demanding on the wiring since it has internal resistance which causes the voltage to drop with increasing length. The whole purpose of USB-PD is to up the voltage while reducing current to mitigate losses (and heat and wire thickness) and supply much higher wattage without having to use chunky wiring. This has been an issue with the Pi for quite a while which is why you always hear troubleshooting responses talking about having too small of a power supply. Now they’ve upped the power requirements while still using a 5V baseline. I did see the article mention that it has a voltage regulator capable of handling 20A of current so maybe it’s just poorly worded with regards to the official power supply.
Even still I wonder if they could have added USB-PD capabilities in order to use 9V or 15V to bring the current down. A 5V 5A USB supply is very unique (even the previous 5V 3A was niche) as standard USB supplies that we’re all used to typically max out at 2.5A. $12 for the official power supply is a decent price but you’re severely limited on options if you don’t have the official supply.
Is that like when I ordered a 3B and was told it’ll ship in 3 months then 3 months later the retailer emailed me to say that I’ll need to cancel my order because they don’t know when it’ll actually be filled?
Haven’t read the article but is it seriously 5V 5A for the power cable? It seems absurd that they wouldn’t put a voltage regulator on board to accept a 12V 2A power supply.
Not sure if that’ll happen as the Pi3 never dropped in price after the Pi4 came out.
Ugh, I have both and now I question what that means about me.
Annoying commercials about “the cloud” and some robot they built 30 years ago.
Well you ‘read around’ when you read my comment so you must be in agreement with me now, no? Isn’t that how it works or do you only believe the things that confirm your preconceived notions?
The fact that you use “TikToks with texts” as your analogy kinda confirms my suspicions that it’s the latter.
So now you also claim to know the private thoughts and motivations of Lemmy instance admins? What a special and unique ability you possess. I’m surprised you’re wasting your telepathic talent on this and not using it to get rich.
I haven’t heard of users or instances getting banned/blocked for supporting the wrong political party either unless racism, brigading, CP, and death threats are core tenets of said party, which leads me to believe you may be referring to the Republican party in the US?
Why not set up your own instance?
This (and “tyre”) is why we won the war.
