I've bought pretty much all of the pis over the years, and was shocked at how capable the pi5 is at doing everything I need from a computer, including programming in a heavy IDE. Unfortunately, it's a non starter for doing anything serious on though as there's still AFAIK no support for full disk encryption in the installer, even if installing to SSD. Such a lost opportunity to be a 'PC' replacement.

Missing from 2014: pushed out Lollipop release to OG Nexus tablets, destroying performance, leaving only those technical enough to downgrade with any way to keep using the devices.

2023: pushed out Android 14 update, removing access to any additional profiles used on the devices. TBF they still have time to deal with this one, but their response so far has been terrible.

And yet I still buy the damn things because there's no suitable alternative for me (ios doesn't have fdroid, netguard, non safari browsers etc.).
