I’m actually very happy about this for a collateral reason: there’s a lot of confusion “out there” regarding the 1.0 and 1.2 version boards (the former being those with the USB-C power ‘bug’, the latter being those that correct it) and very little clarity by sellers (at least in my neck of the woods) as to who is shipping what.
At least if one orders an 8GB unit (which was previously unavailable and therefore never released with the flaw to begin with) one has no risk of getting a flawed unit.
And this kind of points to a general lack of transparency that they should figure out how to address in the future.
Curious to hear what sort of workloads people envision using this for. I'm a huge fan of raspberrypis and have used them for lots of projects over the years. Nothing remotely memory intensive though, mostly basic microcontroller stuff and for a cheap/easy way add a network connection to audio projects and the like. Don't know what I'd do with all that memory but I'm sure other folks will find plenty of cool ways to use it.
