The current hype and the massive investments are about generative AI, not the actually-useful-for-humanity applications.
Image recognition, medical research etc. are not drives the current market. It's about offering a service that the broad masses use continuously. Otherwise these investments don't make sense.
Similar story happened to me literally yesterday. Wanted a new vacuum, saw that a construction store chain that has a store nearby has some on offer, research them for a while on my phone, go buy it, use it.
Then later, I get ads for that exact model and some others from that exact store on my phone while browsing for something completely unrelated.
Yeah, not system can know that I already bought something offline, but still...
I think this is a huge release of just because of accessibility, that's always been a pain point (read: basically impossible) with LaTeX, I heard ConTeXt is better there but I never got into it. typst on the other hand is very approachable and makes a lot of sense.
While I don't need accessibility very much nowadays, it's basically a requirement for usage in the public sector here as PDF/UA. Which I guess is the main motivation.
Looking forward to trying it out when it hits my repositories, which should be soonish.
Another option is docbook, but I never particularly enjoyed working with that...
Similarly here. Have an Odroid with that platform, it wasn't cheap but it came with several advantages:
4 SATA ports on addition to the M2 slot
Intel QSV
2 x 2.5 Gbit Ethernet (I only have gigabit at home though)
Very powerful machine for the power usage, I ran a really old Athlon before though (from 2010 or so that I retrofitted with 16GB RAM) that did most stuff just fine. But I wanted some transcoding and also possibly a smaller case.
