    I did this Pi 4 Roadtest a few years back: /products/roadtest/rv/roadtest_reviews/685/roadtest_the_raspber I can’t remember now but would guess it took at least 24 hours.

    For that road test? A Lot. I'd say 80 hours at least. Most likely more. Not all of that time was efficiently used. Sometimes it was just fiddling around and see how things behaved. For the test gizmo…

    Ok, I'm the clown that voted more than 40 hrs. Know why ? Documentation is 50% or more of a road test. There is linux stuff to play with, python, pi hats, etc. I'd want to build a donkey car with it…

    I tried to work around the unnoticed comments this morning, and wrote a new blog to collect all of them.

    Unfortunately, the forum "home page indexer" isn't picking up new stuff at the moment. The forum updater last indexed 10 hours ago. Blogs not detected since yesterday evening.

    that could be a wasted learning curve, but with a decent severance package and then employment insurance, the extra paid time off might just make up for it Smile

    I know I am generalizing but the site performance appears to favoured Monday to Friday and the other days you get what is working until Monday. There is no weekend warranty.

    Hi Jan,

    I was going to say I didn't see an e-mail either, but I just checked now and it was there, so I can't blame Verint for that : (

    Although, perhaps the message format could be better redesigned, if we are really not going to have preview of content in them. In your blog e-mail scenario, there actually is content, but the preview looks the same. Would be nice to see the username of the person who blogged, in the preview, or the title of the e-mail.

    Also this dumb view is not fit for purpose, having to scroll through a 1-inch square window! I know there is a "View all" link, but I shouldn't have to navigate away just to work around that view:

    I had very little problem betting my Rpi 4 up and running, so I would think a good testing phase would be about twenty to thirty hours.

    You already have to be subscribed to see the mails or notifications. On the homepage you are available for google crawler and anyone. Once it misses home page and goes to notifications only, it's only seen by people I know. New joiners or visitors will not see it.

    I worked up a bit of an estimate of how long it would take to road test a RPi4 but it was a bit long for a comment, so I posted it here:
