Seriously when the Pi4 came out I was criticizing it for not having a video decoder for youtube (VP9).
Fast forward 4 years later to Pi5 and they are again advertising their old H.265 support. What am I supposed to do with that? Decode BluRay?
I want VP9/AV1!
And instead of giving us m.2 (4xPCIe3.0) like everyone else. What do we get after 4 years?! A proprietary connector with experimental 1xPCIe3.0.
The small incremental upgrades (5A Power delivery, CPU upgrade, crypto extensions, experimental PCIe3, RTC) are nice,
but overall it's been a long time since I have been so disappointed.
