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

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
@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
@noiob ...on a lighter note, I find it interesting that all but the most basic board have RISC-V and ARM cores in them... not sure why honestly, but I wonder how much it adds to the cost (not to mention the useless AI core)
@onfy I mean, it lets them sell one chip to a lot of different customers with different requirements
@noiob sure, I'm just wondering when one would be better than the other... and you have to chose the one you use, the other just sits there... it feels completely silly
@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)
