I just thought about buying buying a Raspberry 4. I remember that when it was released there have beem some problems with usb4 and with thermal throttling. Is that all solved now?

Usb issues have been resolved, thermal throttling is just a feature that will always happen unless you cool the CPU down, it's not a design issue.

I got a case and a very quiet fan, and I barely notice it's running, with good operational temperatures (38 C).

One thing that would solidify RPIs for anyone is using AMD-based architecture chips rather than ARM.

Obviously there's a power issue (afaik)and several other issues, but ARM support is hard for many projects. I know you can build docker containers for all architectures via qemu/buildx, but for stuff like Longhorn by Rancher for example or even Envoy (I believe) dosn't support ARM for some weird reasons I haven't gone enough into.

Then again, maybe this is a good differentiator between "heavy-duty" apps and hobbyists apps

I just bought the Pi 4 4Gb a week ago and then this happens. Reeeeee. This is how a micro computer collection starts
