A New Friend

I went ol' Yeller on the old Pi.

Entry
The new Raspberry Pi 3 — long live the king

For reasons unknown (and unknowable) to me (given how little I care to find out why), the old Pi 3 kept just... dying? Crashing? I've gotten fed up with having to reboot it. I've put the old Pi 3 out of it's misery and brought a supple new Pi 3 into play.

It's actually not new at all. Truth be told, I already had two of these things. I have no idea where they came from. I bought one, at one point, years back, but as far as I can remember I donated it to be the Pi that we strapped to a 3D printer at my office to do... stuff? And I somehow ended up with two?

Anyway, cursed objects they may be, at least one is back in play. Maybe it was the SD card shitting the bed? Something about undervoltage? Honestly I can't be bothered. The point is, the old Pi 3 is dead, and the new Pi 3 is alive.

Let that be a lesson to all who may come after. You are disposable.
