One of my RPis died somewhere in the mobo. I can turn it on and mount it over USB and read the SD card but it doesn't boot. Another one lost the ethernet card. It was before they had Wi-Fi, or I didn't care to use Wi-Fi, I don't remember. A Pi zero died, full stop. A number of SD cards eventually died. Not a very reliable platform compared to my laptop. On the other side my laptop costs almost a couple of orders of magnitude more. I still use one RPi 3B+ with a TV hat and it has been on for about two years. It doesn't do anything else. I switched to Odroid for everything else that could run on a small server, because it was impossible to find Raspberries. They work well, I'm happy with them. The only problem: I have to pin the kernel to their own version with their own drivers. The distro is Raspbian and I upgraded it a couple of weeks ago. |
