Raspberry pi’s didn’t even have power buttons until this latest version. I fully expect to be able to unplug an SBC at any point with very low chances of corruption. It’s not like they’re designed for that, but they don’t really give you much choice. Having 10% fail like that is ridiculous.

In fact, I’ve done it hundreds of times and never had an issue.

That’s only been 13 years from it’s launch. My big laptop is only 3 years younger. I fully expect it to be fully functional for many more years.
