Im about to buy a RasPI Zero, however i just looked it up and

what do you plan to use it for?

>>60135202
Retrogayming, simple web server, torrent box, etc

I know the RasPI 3 can be used as a simple HTPC, any board with similar features for that price?

Just looked up the Orange Pi Zero, which seemed perfect... except for the fact that it doesnt have video output.

>>60135282
the pi can handle all of those just fine, whats the issue here

>>60135319
The PI, but not the Zero.

>>60135282
you're going to need a full pi or get an odriod/orangepi, you wont get the software support with the latter though. so ymmv when it comes with retro gaymin

Just get a used pi, people sell then all the time. that's literally the only option you have.

>>60135387
Pi zero is significantly more powerful than the pi. It's more similar to a pi2.

I wouldn't use a pi 1, 2, zero or 3 as an htpc myself. You can generally get an older model microatx system as cheap as a pi3+case+hard drive.

Orange Pi Zero.

But if you are after wireless/bluetooth functionality as well you will need to pay more.

Better off just buying an old $50 core2duo laptop

>Pi zero is significantly more powerful than the pi.

I didnt know that.
So, should i just give up on trying to use a SBC as a HTPC?

>>60135730
This is pretty much why i dont wanna pay for a normal RasPI, i see i3 used laptops on craiglist for pretty much the same price all the time.

>>60135765
Look at the Orange Pi Lite, One and PC models. $10, $12 and $15 respectively.

I'm using an Orange Pi Zero, it just werks.

>>60135863
I thought the drivers for the pi were still shit. Partially because of the binary blobs, or lack thereof.

>>60136344
They are kinda, but if you use a build like Armbian you shouldn't have many problems. The H3 is pretty well supported now.

>>60135186
i heard you can buy them for $1/each in the US, IIRC in monoprice
a good alternative would be the orange pi zero, costs <$10 from aliexpress (there are two versions, with 256/512MB of RAM)

>>60136488
Damn

Here in my country they cost $47 bucks + shipping each

>>60136508
I was talking about the RPi zeros...
but yeah, they are very expensive in my country, too

>>60136344
Armbian just works with the Orange Pis, wifi sucks dicks though.

The pi zero is over expensive due to its meme status. Sad.

>>60136714
I was talking about the Raspberry PI Zero too.

Raspberry PI 3 cost 70 bucks here.

get odroid it has more features than u believe

>>60137289
The pi3 is powerful as fuck.
I have a pi model B and I use it like an Arduino with an included Ethernet shield.
I also have an arduino from 2011 but I was too cheap to buy an Ethernet shield with it so I use it to control relays.

can the pi3 finally handle 10bit anime? Or is it held back because they still haven't upgrade the GPU due to freedoms.

>>60135186
Izzy?

Since this is the Raspberry Meme thread.

I found 2 Raspberry Pi 2's at work. What can I do with them to fuck with people? I'm not particularly creative.

I work with 10 other teachers and all would be perfect targets.

>>60137345
Thats one of the reasons why i want one.
I do have an ethernet shield, but its annoying to have it attached to the router all the time and the Arduino's ATmega328 is getting old...

Anyways, OPie here, just ordered a RasPI Zero W, lets see if it fits my needs.

>>60137530
Connect to a WiFi antenna and send deauth packets.

One of this meme thing that turns TV off (it was top hype in 2010)

Build a clock that looks like a bomb.

Connect to the air-conditioning system, burn the backups and get free from the bank domination by starting a war against Chinese transvestite hackers.

>Connect to a WiFi antenna and send deauth packets

Can i do this with a RasPI Zero?
And am i wrong or is this how Wifikill for android works? (or used to)

>>60137530
Have you considered using it to google the 50billion blog posts about what to do with your raspberry pi

>>60137726

No.
