> the Cray had about 160MFLOPS of raw processing power; the Pi has... up to 30GFLOPS. Yes... that's gigaFLOPS. This makes it almost 200 times faster than the Cray.

Imagine traveling back to 1977 and explaining to someone that in 2025 we've allocated all that extra computing power to processing javascript bundles and other assorted webshit.

Still a better user than crunching Javascript to show you ads and track you around.

No, the number one use case for Pies is being built into commercial hardware in the form of compute boards.
