[colug-432] Raspberry Pi duty cycle

Someone told me recently that Raspberry Pis are not designed for 24/7 operation.

If one were to run a RasPi continuously, how would that effect that
longevity of the device?

I suspect the answer is "it depends" on things like workload,
computational complexity, frequency of disk writes, etc. For the
purpose of this thought experiment, let's assume the RasPi would not
be doing anything terribly computationally complex, and wouldn't have
excessive disk writes.

Thanks.
