Can confirm, I've got a pi 5 here that's been running 24/7 for over a year (possibly two)... it boots fine, but anything else makes it run so slowly because the sdcard is trashed.

The current setup writes to the systemd journal at least twice every minute... It's next iteration is getting a proper nvme.

Ho-ho my friend! You want to buy storage for your computer before 2030? I'm so sorry, but you now pay big time, now you sell your car for one nvme drive.

Somebody set up us the bomb.

There is no need to bring this up on every mention of buying a computer part. And this is also very wrong. TLC nvme drives go below $40, and the smallest ones have more than enough storage for a pi.

This is the first time I've every brought this up, ever.

So when I say "every mention" I'm not talking about how many times you in particular did so, it's about it being brought up a lot and this being a completely unrelated post that really doesn't need the complaint.

I didn't notice it being brought up a lot, but also, it wasn't a complaint. It's a joke. Most specifically, taking what is supposed to be cheap compute, and adding something made super expensive is just funny.
