The CMakeLists.txt is very poor. Just use find_package(Threads REQUIRED) and do target_link_libraries(... Threads::Threads), and use target_compile_features or target properties to set the C++ version. Right now the CMakeLists.txt requires the user to set that, at which point you might be better off with a Makefile...

The Radxa seems to be better value. I'm looking for a backup device for my RPi Zero W v1.3. The Zero has been such a amazing companion for me. I use it as Wi-Fi repeater on campsites such that we can all have internet simultaneously. Over the years I added temperature sensors, light sensors and an entire cooling system for the photovoltaic system. It now keeps track of the ambient temperature in the tent and fridge and sends me an SMS if the gets too high. Endless fun.
The Radxa is a better value if pure performance is the only criteria.
But the real value of the Raspberry Pi products is the ecosystem and code support. It will be much easier to find tutorials and software support for the Pi Zero 2 W than the Radxa and the Pi will be supported for a long time after the Radxa has been discontinued.

Also in availability. I just clicked buy and will have a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W shipping to me in two days. I looked on seeedstudio for Radxa products; literally nothing is in stock.
As client radio I use a cheap rtl8812au-based single-antenna Wi-Fi USB stick by Piaek with a ALFA APA-M05 7dBi antenna, and as access point I use the on-board radio of the RPi in master mode. I use iptables to set up NAT (masquerading), optionally via an OpenVPN tunnel. It can be an odyssey finding a cheap Wi-Fi stick for which there are good drivers available (Amazon reviews and answers do help), let alone one that can be run in master mode, and you often have to compile the drivers yourself, in my case (Arch Linux ARM) I need to pull the dkms package from AUR, change the PKGBUILD to build for Pi and it builds awfully slowly (around 1 hour).
As for long-range antennas, you can check out Yagi's or Cantenna, also very nice DIY projects. The longest range can be achieved by dishes. Though check your countries dBi limit that is allowed to be emitted in any direction and then reduce your tx power to stay below that. The directivity will still help reducing interference from other directions. I like the APA-M05 for its compactness.
For the cooling, I use DHT22s and simply run a bunch of fans via a PWM-driven MOSFET, directly from the Pi, roughly following the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ32CMxliCQ
I send notifications (actually, not SMS) via qpush.me.
Who is this news org, why should we trust them? A cursory look at their content suggests we shouldn't.
It's easy, all you need to do is spot the term "Russiagate", in this case the "gate" is being used to suggest that Russian influence in American politics is a fake news story (which it definitely isn't, see Muller report)
It basically talks about how Sussman's work on the Alfa Bank story (about how there was a relationship between Trump and a Russian Bank) was accused of fabrication and was lead by the Clinton campaign, as described by research from the FBI. (You can read the judicial document in its original form here: https://www.justice.gov/sco/press-release/file/1433511/downl...) Although the title is quite polemical and should have been toned down if it were to adhere to HN standards, I think it is a valuable news story and shouldn't be shrugged off as just "fake news".
I've posted that article yesterday in HN, and it was flagged immediately. Guess some people in here don't really recept well to any media that is outside of the mainstream (which in this case with FB, were all repeating the identically constructed narrative)
Have you so little respect for people that you think they are all thieves? In India and China, countries in which most of the top 10% by income would fall below the US poverty line most people never steal. Theft is not mostly about poverty.
Weird take. Petty theft (like the one being discussed here) can definitely be correlated with inequality.
I agree that most people will not steal. That's been my experience of growing up in a country with rampant poverty and inequality (and crime).
That said, the more people are in need, the more incentive for them to look for solutions outside of a system that has inherently failed them and the people they know.
I have myself been robbed and assaulted multiple times. I have had relatives kidnapped. Cars stolen leaving or entering their own garage, sometimes in nice areas of the city. I have been myself held at gunpoint by both criminals and police. The house I grew up in has been burglarised multiple times. I have not once, and don't know a single person who has been assaulted or robbed by a middle or upper class person.
There is probably also some correlation between white collar crime and corruption, and poverty, but I suspect the direction of causality goes the other way around in this case.
True, but not relevant to whether Apple should make parts available or not. Apple’s repairability policy isnt going to alleviate income inequality, but it could have an effect on phone theft.
That's more an issue with certain online market and monopolists. If there is a diversity of products and reliable reviews and reputation systems due to different markets competing in this regards, then you can trust to get the parts that you want.
