“There’s a common misconception that state-of-the-art technology has to be expensive, energy consumptive and hard to engineer. That’s because we have been persuaded to believe that #InnovativeTechnology is whatever bombastic billionaires claim it is, whether that’s commercial #spacecraft or the endless iterations of generative #AItools.
As the #Canadian #technologist and #engineer #UrsulaFranklin once said, fantasies of technology would have it that innovation is always “investment-driven, shiny, lab-born, experimental, exciting”. But more often than not, in the real world, it is “#NeedsDriven, #scrappy, on #location, #iterative, #practical, #mundane”.
The real pioneering #technologies of today are genuinely useful #systems I like to call “frugal tech”, and they are brought to life not by eccentric billionaires but by people doing more with less. They don’t impose #TopDown “#solutions” that seem to complicate our lives while making a few people very rich. It turns out that genuinely #innovative #technology really can set people free.” — Eleanor Drage

I want to start homelabbing, so should I get a Raspberry Pi 5 and a Raspberry Pi 4 or a second hand ThinkPad i5 6th gen?
Does anyone here use any of those smart watches or rings that monitor your health, heartbeat, sleep quality, activity, etc., and if so, can you reply with your recommendations? I'm looking at perhaps getting one of those smart rings, but haven't had time to do much research. I'd love to know the pros and cons.
