  • The Raspberry Pi office facilities look great
  • But what is with the buildings of the St John’s College University of Cambridge where Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton studied:

  • Does the St John’s College University of Cambridge not look like id needs renovation?
  • Even more than the facilities of the Meditation Research Institute Switzerland (MRIS) which will be demolished soon:

It seems that the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich) has the highest grant for building facilities:

Infortunately, we do not know anything about that the ETH Zurich uses single board computers for their research. The ETH Zurich eventually could afford to buy or develop expensive SBCs for their research, but not the MRIS which does not have a research grant, and suffers from the terrible situation as far as SBCs is concerned, as well as many other SBC users.
