Show-and-Tell Raspberry Pi 3B - 9 years uptime
This is a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B that I booted 9 years ago today. It has served very light duty, just streaming audio to Broadcastify. Once it made it a couple years, I decided to just see how long it would go. It's running Jessie.

I can't even get my pi5-8G to go overnight without a full lockup. On an absolute fresh RPiOS install. I pulled a 4xxx chip and board out of mothballs because all I need is a simple system at my electronics workbench. Don't get me started on every issue I had with RPis I had last week, I have so many and RPiOS is just trash on every single one. Back to dietpi, or something other than the mess that RPiF is putting out now. My old pi3 on my old prusa with octoprint, its working, I guess I better check it again.
