It is but a lot of people buy them because they're perceived as 'cool' for whatever reason. Then they fag up the boards with 'i dunno wat do wid it lol'. That's the problem, not the pi itself.

Fidget spinners don't require power supplies, SD cards or I/O peripherals.

Seriously though people don't know what to do with RPis. Anything I've ever come up with was easier to do with a cheap tablet.

They sell high quality fidget spinners with 4 real bearings at the dollar store now.
You can get 5 fidget spinners for the price of a raspi zero.
Both will end up in a drawer, but you'll play with the spinners for a lot longer.

>>62033383
You're dumb and annoying.

>>62033235
Tablets were low key one of the best gadgets to come out of the 2010s. We just haven't yet been clever enough to use them to their full potential.

I can't even think of a good use for a raspi zero that isn't a homemade SNES classic running retropie.
And even then, they recommend the regular raspi 3 because it's such an underpowered piece of shit.
raspi zero is too slow to be useful and requires tons of accessories to make up for missing ports, if you want embedded, just get a damn arduino and reduce your project to a simple attiny45 when you're done

>>62033324
kek! But seriously, into a river.

>>62033535
>Both will end up in a drawer,
Yeah, but the pi will be in that drawer being used as a microserver.

>>62032314
>You can buy raspberry pi 0 for the price of two fidget spinners.

And you could buy a lot more spinners for the price it takes to actually do anything with the pi

What's the difference between an arduino and a raspberry pi?

Pi 0 is useless for anything other than Kodi (and even then you have to buy your own USB hub and WiFi dongle) or heavy /diy/ projects.

>>62033962
Arduino is just a board with a simple 8-bit MCU.
A RaspPi has a full SoC capable of running a desktop OS, USB peripherals, ethernet, HDMI, etc.

>>62033771
Pretty much this. I'm having a hard time picturing a scenario where the zero makes sense. For really lightweight embedded you're better off with a typical micro for battery life and the simple development stack. For things where you need the memory, camera, etc., it seems like you're probably better off just getting a full pi and benefiting from the easier development and greater grunt. If you're desperate for a lower BOM because you're using a pi in a commercial application, just fucking kill yourself.

>>62034159
It's a pretty nice for prototyping and (slow) universal programming.

Set it up as an ethernet device then just hook it up to a PC using its OTG port (which is enough to power it) and you can SSH/VNC into it, running your dev software directly from it.

Yeah it's like I understand the complaints that /g/ has about tablets strictly as consumer devices. But in the end it's still an inexpensive platform with a touchscreen, WiFi/BT, often GPS, a battery, USB, decent enough specs and an operating system for which one can readily learn to customize and program apps. All in a very slim package. That's pretty great as a basic platform and interface.

The point he was making is that you have to procure items to use it which means it isn't fully fledged.

>>62041577
From what I understand it is pretty dicky to do so.
The Linux modules required to get the cluster to act as a single computer are old and no longer maintained (I believe), so you have to use an old kernel version and compile it yourself.

You can use something like OpenMPI instead but it doesn't share RAM, instead it basically sends each node a chunk (or number of chunks) to process and each node is limited by its own resources.

>>62032348

>>62042649
Pretty much nothing.

But that still doesn't make it a full fledged computer on its own, just like I wouldn't call my PC a full fledged computer if it had no storage installed.

Power supply isn't so much of a concern to me seeing it is so easy to power over USB. If you don't add on anything (aside from the microSD) then it probably won't even draw more than 0.5A so could be powered even from a computer USB port.

Imho the low price of raspberry is a misconception. It's true that they are extremely cheap, but if you are a noob you probably have to spend extra money for psu, cable, interfaces, case, sd...
It's not hard to end up at 30€ for a complete 0 or 50 for a 3.

Then, whats the point of a raspberry for common people? I've worked with raspberry quite a bit, and now I have five of them, complete with accessories, and I can't really figure out something usefull i can do with them. I'm not talking about a random project to waste time doing something I really don't need.

you can't find it in bulk, you can't buy more than 1 without the price skyrocketting to stop scalping, it's too power hungry for embedded, it's too weak for non-embedded applications.
Any realistic use for this thing would be much better served with a chinese clone pi or a raspi 3 with networking and wifi built in.

Literally everything I want to do either

- requires me to buy $30+ of extra shit
- is too heavy for the thing
- is unfeasible because it's too power hungry

Spinners are easy to understand and operate.

Yeah. As far as I've seen, to get a RasPi Zero W in my country, I'd have to order it from an online store for around 21-22 Euros (that's including 5-6 Euros for shipping). For comparison, I can just walk into a brick-and-mortar store and pick up a RasPi 3 B for around 36 Euros.
