Works well enough for me.
I'm buying a beaglebone black. Am I meme ing myself?
This thread again..

I like my openvpn server.

Yes. These things are pretty much worthless.
Be a big boy and buy an actual computer.
>>61476201
Retropie
Rasplex
No regrets, I bought them knowing what I was going to do with them, and plan on buying another.
>>61476201
Made mine to an emulator box, its superb. Fuck off op
>>61476201
pi i find to be essential

There's literally nothing more normalfag than using a retropi for emulation. Not only is it terribly suited for gaming, it's a literal meme. A Wii is cheaper, easier to set up, and performs better.

I fell for it. I needed a powerful embedded computer for an engineering undergrad project and a Pi was easily available compared to any of the other options. I'm in Canada so having to ship a Beagleboard computer would be over $20.

Rpi is the master race. Get yer free Mathematica.

Remember kids: consider other boards before falling to the pi meme.
>but muh software
A raspberry pi running raspbian is just like another PC running Debian GNU/Linux. Most tutorials that work with debian will work with the pie. Neither the hardware nor the software are special, it's a generic ARM PC running gahnoo plus loonix (or -at your choice- some other OS like BSD or RISCOS)
>but muh community
see the previous point.
>but muh GPIO specific software
every other boards has a GPIO interface. Controlling it might require other commands or an other character device in /dev but if you cannot fix such problem then you shouldn't buy even a pi to begin with.
>>61476201
Kodi run well on that shit
>>61478474
I mean openelec
>>61476509
What happened that made RPi SJW?
>>61478511
Yeah, it does. I prefer LibreElec due to it staying more up to date.
>>61476281
Fucking this, how gnu are you? We have a thread about this every other day.
Fucking reddit
>>61478026
Maybe we wouldn't do it if tech companies weren't so concerned with politics.
Every tech company wants to be the one hiring the most women/trannies/faggots and be oh so progressive.

I need the beaglebone to cheaply flash libreboot on my thinkpads though.
>>61476201
Works well enough as a shitty server that I can fuck around on without any worries.
>>61482062
I'd literally never hear or know about this if it weren't for people like you, this isn't an issue outside of twitter and nobody gives a single shit
>>61476201
I use one for dicking around with GPIO and another for external SSH access. You're only failing if you bought one and did nothing with it.
>>61477523
Lmao this thing can't play anime for shit
