"You can either use the USB Type-C port for power and data or use the USB 2.0 Type-A port for data"

????????????????? https://liliputing.com/milk-v-duo-s-is-a-tiny-11-computer-with-risc-v-and-arm-processor-cores/

how the fuck are you supposed to power it then???

I guess even without USB it's amazingly cheap for something that I think runs updated linux and has ethernet (I don't see anything else that does...) but what a bizarre limit

if I did get one of these my use case would probably be networked python 3 shenanigans

wait a minute, can you only use one USB or the other for data? more reasonable, trying to use USB-C for power and data at once would be more trouble than it's worth anyway

@onfy just grab one of these

@noiob I'd still want ethernet

@noiob like, if I was gonna do this (don't tempt me...), the price of the one with ethernet and USB-A is $23.14, the more basic one without is $11.79, difference is $11.35... so I'd need to get one of those adapters and a decent USB ethernet adapter for under $11 for it to be worthwhile

and that's assuming the more basic board's 64MB RAM is enough, which... maybe?

@noiob sure looks interesting though, I wonder how much cheaper RISC-V can get

@onfy oh I'm sure it's still the early days for risc-v, with arm being bogged down by license bullshit it's gonna get interesting

@noiob yeah, but if they're this cheap now... what? in 10 years am I gonna be getting these shipped from china for $5? (well unless the US fucks everything up, which they probably will)
