you can make a bypass button; use as bookmark on phone and computer.
Mine is like this:
http://pi.hole/admin/api.php?disable=60&auth=

Disables pihole for 60 secs.
Your auth would need to be generated.

If you are buying this to run services or desktop replacement, just go with an Intel n95 or n100 mini pc. They are still 2x faster than the pi 5 and 4-5x faster than pi 4. By the time you buy a case and storage and power supply for the pi 5, you could just have a better mini pc that runs windows or any Linux version and you don't have to buy more for it.

Is this site an approved reseller for the RPI? I don't see them listed on the raspberry pi site.

Mine hasn't. I'm wondering if it's just a preorder in disguise?

Uh, who tries to run multiple VMs on a Pi??
No one in their right mind would try to run multiple VMs on a Pi; which is why I didn't say that. I said people run multiple VMs on an inexpensive MFF PC, which plenty of people do, including me. I used to run multiple Pi's and now all of those have been replaced with VMs. The hardware is far more powerful so everything runs smoother. For example, I used to have a Pi 4 B 2GB running OctoPrint. Uploading a new print would sometimes take forever. I would also sometimes drop WiFi connection, and the camera streams can be slow/laggy. Running in a VM, none of these issues occur anymore and I no longer have to fuss with these issues.

Now, if you need GPIO, get a Pi.

I ended up getting a slim Lenovo used computer off eBay. I run Plex and have files backed up on it. And since it has Windows 11 pro I can easily remote in

Yes, and micro SD card of course. And note that the unit only has micro HDMI ports, so if you want to hook it up to TV/Monitor you need an appropriate cable.

And AFAIK, the case comes with heatsinks.

what are these even good for nowadays
I run 433Mhz transmitter for smart outlet control. I use it as a web service relay to generate emails based on IoT device events. I run additional motion cams for indoor/window monitoring.

I use mine to run HomeBridge to link unsupported items to HomeKit. For example, a Reolink doorbell, some Govee lights, Tapo cameras all play nice together
I'm about to do a full remodel any tips or places to research for smart home needs?

So, you're not entirely wrong, but:
  1. I have several power supplies capable of running a Pi 5, it's USB-C.
  2. I have several MicroSD cards already (I pick one up for $5 every time I visit MicroCenter).
  3. I can 3D print myself a case, or just go without a case; they're not necessary.
  4. A Pi has community support and GPIO for projects that an N95 PC doesn't.
So, I don't need to buy a bunch of expensive accessories. I can buy this thing for the sticker price plus shipping (I'll probably get a $5 active cooler too) and be good to go. A halfway decent N95 PC costs more than twice as much.

Why does everyone take offense to people recommending mini PCs. My pi 5 I preordered the day it was announced shipped out today, so I'm excited, but other than gpio, it's an all around worse piece of hardware than a n95 or n100 system.

The pi 5 doesn't use a standard USB-c power requirement, so there's a high chance your usb-c will not power it fully. It wants a 5v 5A supply. Hardly any supply can do this output other than the specific pi 5 supply. USB c power delivery for this wattage should be 9v 3A which is really common, but they decided aganist this for some reason. You can possibly use it on some smaller power supplies, but it will handicap the usb ports and overclocking ability. Pi 4 has always been picky on power supplies by throwing errors for most non pi supplies for too low voltage.

A micro sd card is not really comparable to an NVME ssd. They can become corrupted much quicker and are slower in general. I used my pi 4 on a 2.5" ssd and it was fine.

If you don't have a micro hdmi cable, that's another accessory you have to buy.

You will 100% want a heatsink for the cpu and possibly other board chips.

The community and gpio are very much the reasons to get a pi. I agree.

The mini pcs have none of these compatibility and additional accessory problems. it includes a case, heatsink, power supply, storage, Windows 11 OS, hdmi cables. You could open it and log into windows in less than 5 minutes. If you wanted to run plex, or jellyfin, retro games, or install some docker containers, you could do it all easily.
