almost got one years ago when it was a new thing but then i heard that they should cost ~20€ and not 50€ like they do here so i didnt.

Orange Pi zero is the shit

I made a live webcam with it and and ancient ms webcam.

$220 nest webcam for $40

They can come in handy but some people buy them and do nothing with them.

I use it all the time dude. It runs Kodi and Emulators and I can use the SPI interface to flash chips without relying on cheap ass SOP8 clips from chinkland

>>60354693
Pi Zero is great for making tiny things internet connected. If you didn't get it for a specific application, or have a number of projects that could use it in some way, you did it wrong.

>>60355177
You know what? You're right. If you couldn't figure something out, no one else could either, because you're just that much better than everyone else.

Someday you'll realize that your arrogance has held you back while everyone else continues to learn new things every day.

>>60355177

He's just a troll guys

>>60355378
I'm not trolling though, people that buy the raspberry pi are ignorant.

There were always better products available, broadcom is garbage, and they would know that if they had spent more than 5 minutes researching products instead of jumping on a bandwagon like an iTard.

i use one as a plex and nas server.

unencoded, it can run 1080 video
add on subs and/or transcoding, 720 at most

usb 2.0 read/write speeds that may throttle down to even less due to network transfer, which is okay for background backups.

vnc to desktop so i can access a running emacs where i keep a todo list

for the price, it was decent. If i paid more, I'd probably want to get a full on desktop.

a project I might do, is the amazon echo. all that's needed is a usb mic and audio speaker. but I already have an echo.

>>60355459
Ok, assuming you're not trolling, name a single product that incorporates a modestly powered SoC, with WiFi and bluetooth, 1080p video out, and has excellent community support, with multiple distributions available and up to date, that costs less than $50

>>60354033
If you buy them direct yeah

And another one spare just because a local company was having a sale and I'll find a use for it before too long.

Scary how you don't seem to be able to make substantial arguments that hold their weight, but are also obviously provocative, and make you look like a troll.

>>60356316
because it does just work.

dunno what you want. People are gonna keep buying them and they're gonna keep suiting needs while you pop a blood vessel over it.

>>60356316
"It just works" is a perfectly valid argument. Why would you make things harder on yourself for no difference in the outcome?

>>60356320
v4l lets you disable autofocus and change the focal length that guy just wants someone to hold his hand (hence the raspberry pi purchase) and now he will just buy more shit because he can't figure it out :)

>>60356387
:^)

>>60356367
The drivers and the specs of the SoC are just about all that matters. People buy the PI because they are too scared to do anything on their own and are under the impression that the support is better for it, basically they are just ignorant and lazy.

Using a competitor isn't any harder, they just flip out because the video tutorial they got linked to on pinterest only works for a PI and start saying stupid shit like it fits my use case because they are mindless retards.

retired my old rpi b+ with a rpi3. Way better experience.

I used to run a vpn on my rpi b+ but it was so fucking slow, the rpi 3 is way better and faster. I now run pihole, dns-crypt and vpn on it.

I recommend rpi3 but not pi b+.

Well no fucking shit Sherlock.
I enjoy Gigabit Ethernet on my desktop and server because I actually make use of my server as a NAS and push large files to it, but an rPi is a shitty NAS solution.
100MBit would certainly be limiting if you use it as a PiHole on any connection over 50Mbit though.

Are these things worth getting for a comp eng student?
I'm interested in getting a toy that would let me practice my skills on things that have real world value and aren't just programming for the sake of learning concepts.
For example would I be programming at the level of needing to read their data sheets for their registers/implement interrupt routines/etc?

>>60359967
Nah, the hardware's way too abstracted and not all of it is open source (or even has datasheets available).

I'd recommend a powerful Arduino if you want to get into that sort of stuff. You have software like Arduino studio to get you started, but you can go as low as you want.

Not really related, but I bought one of these for dirt and slapped Arch on it to use as a torrentbox/NAS. It was cheaper than a rPi but obviously has fewer features. It was a tradeoff I was willing to accept for my use case.

I'm probably going to buy a rPi Zero to make a portable MemeBoy system for the fun and soldering practice.

the pi3 gets hot quick and you need a fan unless you want it to throttle itself
also it maxes out at like 2.5 amps, people power it off of a USB 2.0 port and then complain when it runs but can't get enough juice

"innovative" is a bullshit word. STEVE "HAVE MY BABIES" JOBS was innovative. Some kid using a pine cone taped to a twig to scratch his back is innovative. just do something stupid with it.

set it up with a touch screen to connect to a 4chan board and display random images that switch to new ones when you touch the screen

then modify it to show posts with many replies (not just op)

then modify it so that it shows whatever post it responds to

>>60359967
It may be worthwhile if you *know* you'll be using the pinouts. That's the only thing it has to make it more useful than the computers you already have. An Arduino clone may be more useful. Some of the clones are better than the official made-in-Italy models, with prototyping areas so you don't need a separate breadboard for small stuff. Some of the cheaper ones can fry a motherboard they're connected to, so be careful.

Pi 3 (especially since cloud computing exists and is cheap) is really a viable workstation. I'd imagine in a few years offices will have Pis or something similar at each employees workstation, everything else is done in the cloud or on prem/dc servers.

Why would this be a meme? Just stick a 10.1 inch screen and 20k xiaomeme powerbank, and use it as a tablet which actually has Arch/Ubuntu/Android and more battery than any other tablet out there, bonus if odroid xu4. easier to upgrade/repair the hardware than any other tablet
The only problem would be making a case, i guess

Or just buy a decent small screen and small keyboard, and use it as ultra portable computer (for places that has power outlet), I imagine normies would be crazy for that shit, no?

Especially if the "Pi 4" has at least 2GB RAM, solves the SD card bottleneck, and is better capable of web video playback
