are there some good hats for this? thinking of doing the same. currently using it as a pihole and i see no point if i can do the same on my router with a hostfile
I have a pi3b+ >Slightly too slow for Plex >Slightly too slow for N64 emulation >Slightly too slow for browsing YouTube etc. on Linux
it just sits there in it's cute Nintendo case I 3d printed.
I have one of those.
I'm milling out a case for myself now that will look like a small 90s PC, and running dosbian on it.
The 3b+ does okay at that. Not as well as a 4 or whatever.
Want to make a small monitor for it as well, but I have to do now research for a cheap display first.
Would be cool to have a tiny keyboard to go with it, but that's probably not worth it...
>worth the $129
WTF are you talking about? All major online pi retailers in the US have the Pi 5 in stock for list price. > $80 for 8GB > $60 for 4GB
Inventory has been stable and available for weeks.
>$80 for 8GB
i can get "M720q Tiny 2018 6-Core i5-8500t 8GB 128GB Nvme" for that money
and i wont need extra cables, cases, adapters, cards, jacks, chargers
so hes not throwing them away
at worst you can fish them out of the trash lol

business name and address?
i will take them
I could give you coordinates to the exact barn where they're kept but I will not. He definitely wouldn't let us take the PIs home since they were used in POS devices (which was moronic) and have to undergo proper disposal procedures. This goes for pretty much all company property.

The cheapest i5-8500T (with HEVC decoding) I could find was an $80 ProDesk 600 G4.

damn shame. he must be selling them and telling you he is giving them away
orange pi zero has even lower power, lower cost and the same GPIO
why do you need a raspberry pi?

orange pi (and all the other chinkware vendors) produce sbcs that shit the bed under load, cant keep more than 1 week uptime, have linux images packaged by jia tan's dark triad CCP officer cousin, and dont even think of taking upstream because the reverse engineered drivers havent been upstreamed or even tested.

i've been using an oPi zero2 as my DNS server for nearly three years with zero downtime. it just runs debian for ARM
I have another zero2 as my print server for three 3d printers, and it's also been very reliable at that.
I ALSO use a fullsize orange pi 5 as a low-power desktop to remote into all my other servers, and it's been very useable, in fact (although not related to stability) i even play a handful of games on it from time to time withiut issue.
i've got about 10 different orage pi devices around the place for various jobs and i've never had an issue with any one of them.
have you ever used one or are you making shit up?
why not a significantly cheaper arduino?
raspberry pis cost 10x too much for what majority of people use them for. when an uno can do your pi project for $15, you really need to rethink your spending habits.
on ebay they go as low as $25 if you forgoe a power brick and storage, which by the way a pi doesn't come with either
the average price for a pi5 is >$100 and the average price for a thinkcenter is <$100, of course there are outliers but a few good deals aren't representative of the average buyers experience
moronic question: if you forgo the power supply for one of these Lenovos or Dells, then where are you supposed to get one? Another ebay listing? I know that they use DC-in jacks so you can't plug in a generic AC cord.
honestly the only pi worth getting is the zero, and that's exclusively due to the size, I'm building a drone with mine, the extra power will be to make it an autonomous drone that controls other drones, a lovely drone swarm
and yeah I guess you can make mobile retro game consoles with them but for literally every other purpose there's something better or cheaper
I haven't used mine in a while. I had it logging temp/humidity to control my dehumidifier. But the dehumidifier seems to be broken now so it has no other purpose.
I use my Raspberry Pi 4 for Pihole and suricata (IDS). Aside from NAS, routing, and security camera recording, what are some meaningful use cases for raspberry pi? I feel like it's a great tool, but I'm stupid.
>what are some meaningful use cases for raspberry pi?
there are none except for portable devices that use GPIO, eg diagnostic tools
the ENTIRE point of a pi is being small and therefore very portable in handheld or luggable devices. if you set up a pi in a fixed role, it's something that would have been solved cheaper and better by literally anything else.
I feel like when something is small enough, it doesn't work as a free-floating box on the desk anymore. Like it needs to be anchored to something that won't slide around.
i use mine as a NAS. it just werks

You're so cute
No, YOU're so cute.
^///^ t-thank you, anon

Mines serves a printer.
As a 3d printer?
Nope just an ancient laser printer.
Setup pi-hole to use it for adblocking
I have one of those.

But is it cute though? My Pi fits inside my pocket.
my boss is throwing like 100 of these pi3b+ away
Build a cluster out of them and run a popular image board on them.
he runs a "tight ship". can't really take anything home besides minimum wage and a sore ass
Ask if you can have them
He's throwing them away after all
so hes not throwing them away
at worst you can fish them out of the trash lol

What year is this? 2016?
PI5 is brand new, brother.
Kodi frontend with some dockers. It would be the perfect media centre if the active cooler wasn't so loud under load
that's a man
>mogs a pi5 in every conceivable benchmark
>$30-50 cheaper
why do you need a pi again?
Pi Zero has its uses. But I agree otherwise
>why do you need a pi again?
Low power. GPIO
Pi Zero has the same GPIO, and is even lower powered. Why do you need a full size Pi?
orange pi zero has even lower power, lower cost and the same GPIO
why do you need a raspberry pi?

>GPIO
The new Pis have priced themselves out of the market for 99% of the projects that need GPIO.
why not a significantly cheaper arduino?
raspberry pis cost 10x too much for what majority of people use them for. when an uno can do your pi project for $15, you really need to rethink your spending habits.
arduinos require non zero programming effort
The cheapest Thinkcentre I can find is $250 and the cheapest Raspberry is $90. Where did you buy yours for $40?
on ebay they go as low as $25 if you forgoe a power brick and storage, which by the way a pi doesn't come with either
the average price for a pi5 is >$100 and the average price for a thinkcenter is <$100, of course there are outliers but a few good deals aren't representative of the average buyers experience
Are you comparing new vs pre-owned?
find me a preowned pi5 for $25
Speaking of, how bulky are those pizza boxes? Can you do IoT projects with them?
bump
They're like 7x8 inches. They're tiny. I use one for a home server. They idle at low power, but a bit higher than a pi.
>7x8
Completely unsuitable for any IoT project then, thanks buddy.
I'm not the anon you were talking to originally. I was just trying to answer the broad question of size.
You deserve my thanks nonetheless.

does it actually do anything
Imagine if microdrives were still a thing and we had a pi hat for it.
Eh
Pregabalin is better

Make a case out of milled steel.
Overpriced trash when you can get a x86 thin client of ebay for 40$ with more connectivity
ick
As usual IQfy doesn't understand that form factor matters.
you aren't doing anything with your pi that needs it to be that small, and if you are you would be better off with an arduino
Wrong on both accounts. I'm adding those to my list.
