If they have replaced the sdCard with a EEPROM, then while I agree its simpler and more resilient. its gets a lot more complex if you want to program it. Have they added a JTAG interface somewhere? Does it still have the sdCard interface or are you now forced to add an extra boot device?
Sorry, I could just look this up rather than badgering you.
Whenever an honest man discovers that he's mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest.
It's shell programmable. There are failsafes to prevent bricking the Pi, but it's easy to update the eeproms... and even if you do brick it, there's a recovery tool that will reflash it from... wait for it... a uSD card...
Updating piHole using portainer is a doddle. You need to have pulled the original container in with the ‘latest’ Tag IE: pihole/pihole:latest and bound the config file directories to a directory outside of the container during the initial setup. To update you simply stop the pihole container, click on the name, click edit and then click on deploy....it asks if you want to overwrite, click yes and it’s done!
8GB Pi 4 now available as well as 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian as was) as a beta release.
Looking at detailed reviews and reading EU's blog, it seems there are other subtle improvements to the USB C port hardware (specifically the voltage regulator) and a few other bits.
The Pi 4 is now a serious beast and definitely a desktop machine contender...

Ooooh now that is interesting
The 64-bit OS is definitely beta territory - I wouldn't even try it for a month or so - it seems to have stability issues and is missing a bunch of stuff.
On another note - really useful tool to automatically install the latest and greatest blocklists for Pi-hole - I went from 10 lists and 94,500 blocked sites to 56 lists and 745,000 blocked sites...
Yep - but I'm refactoring how I'm doing stuff at the moment...
Has anyone had experience of OpenHAB? There is a certified dockerhub image for it, and I am considering it as a framework to integrate the plethora of services around the site that are now running...
