Got mine.
What are you going to do with yours?

Electrostatic air purifier, i.e. dust collector.

Shove it up your ass

Weather station.

Tell me more. I'm always fighting dust. Currently running 2x20inch box fans with 20inch furnace filters on the back. Traps a lot of dust but I still have to dust nearly every day.


What are you planning on doing?

Nani sore, senpai?

I'm considering getting one of these and gutting an old PDA and putting it in.

If I can find a screen to replace the current one, I will. If not, I will keep that screen until I can.
Better yet, I might even combine the screens, one for low-power mode and one for media consumption beyond 3-color greyscale.
That'll actually be more fun I think.

Then will come the FUN part of hooking up all the keys, power, cutting out holes for some sockets and so on..

It's an old Psion Series 3a.

That WiFi antenna is awesome.
Those two gold nodes above the text "USB" are to solder a connection on for an external WiFi antenna.

its fucking 50$ here because it gets out of stock almost instant

DIY MiFi device by adding a 4G dongle.

>Windows IoT + rgb led + http server

Hasn't come in the post yet and not sure what to use it for yet as I have some other Zeros, but its a damn sight better than having to jam in a wifi dongle freeing up a port.

Is there any reason to get one of these over an Orange Pi Zero?

Not Chinese niggerware

Hes making a joke user

How is that a positive? The wifi is broken on the latest rpis

Impossible to get vídeo Out in Orange pi zero

what is that? a raspberry zero?

Yes, a new one with built-in WiFi & Bluetooth.

why not spend a little extra and get a raspberry pi 3?

raspberry pi zero is probably slow as fuck.

I've got the original pi, which the pi zero has similar specs to, and it handles most things decently. I have about four different types of media/Web severs on there and it all runs without a hitch

the idea sounds great but I'm not great with network stuff, I don't need a server so this is probably going to collect dust unless I feel like sshing into it and using ls or cd a few times

i only bought one to make my own netflix-like media center

i don't use it for anything else(except torrenting)

I'm going to make a Pi powered laptop with mine, or more like a tablet with a keyboard and mouse connected to it, running off a smartphone power bank. I'm going to look like the biggest turbo autist on the planet but it's worth it for the battery life and cost efficiency.

RPi 3 is huge, compared to RPi 0W.
The 0W allows FAR more flexibility in where you put sockets and wiring. (or 0 as well)

Gonna put it in my car.

>mfw it's impossible to get one in Balkans

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Missing the joke
The autism is strong with this one.

whats the battery life gonna be like?

Takes one to know one.

What is that?

Depends on what battery you buy, I'm going to buy a 20k mAH battery, and the official Raspberry Pi power supply supplies 2A and the monitor I buy uses 5V/2A so at the lowest the battery life would be at least 5-7 hours, I'd assume. I don't know shit about electronics.

alright, but whats the total cost of the project then?

Interesting. Please keep us posted!

I'm still trying to figure out what I need, but the only things you need to be able to use it as a computer is a Pi, a micro SD card, monitor, mouse, keyboard and a power supply. I'm going to be buying an extra set of mouse and keyboard, chassi for the Pi, a high quality power bank and monitor and maybe some other stuff. But there's videos on Youtube with people making a desktop PC with a Pi and it comes out at less than 100 bucks, assuming that you already have a monitor.

I sure will.
Just need to get my hands on one of the damned things now.

alright, because if your going to use it as a (temporary) desktop replacement then it should be alright, but as a laptop to be honest your better off buying a laptop with a broken screen and then just hooking up to a monitor. I had a T60 thinkpad before and it worked perfectly for minor usage even though it is around 10 years old!

sounds cool, i can understand the journey of making it, but why would one want to own such a thing?

Can I use one of these to perform some Bluetooth attacks like Bluesmack? I'm interested in disrupting the connection between things like wireless speakers.

I already have a Thinkpad X230 that I have hooked up to my monitor when I'm at home, but the battery on it is so bad that it's pretty much been regulated to being a desktop PC, and I really don't think it's worth to buy a new battery for this when I can put that money towards a new laptop instead since I just bought this as a temporary solution.

Making a Pi laptop is mostly just a fun project and I want to see how viable and/or convenient it really is to use as a laptop, because otherwise I'll just buy a Chromebook when I go back to school this fall and build a desktop as soon as my budget allows for it.

autism

sounds good, good luck!

I've got four - one is going to become a new Piratebox, another is going to replace my current git server setup using Gogs (currently, it has gig ethernet, but because the adapter is USB 3, it means that the RPi Zero cannot deliver the initial voltage for the adapter, and will reboot the Pi. The plan is to replace the gig ethernet with the wireless card - if there are any issues, I can just connect the Zero again with the OTG functionality enabled).

One is one of the Pimoroni Radio kits, and the other is a simple starter kit. I might have a plan for the one with a starter kit, but I've got to test that theory out.

Depends on what you want to do with it. Have two Orange Pi Zeros and work well. Were cheap too.

Gonna make a pi hole

Can't wait

My RP3 says made in Japan on the box.

A laptop kit already exists for the RP.

VPN, Proxy server, Python scripts to turn on my cisco switched before i get home. My Pocket chip to fuck around.

my two rpi0s are collecting dust.

rpi2 is my general purpose server.

rpi3 is in htpc duty when i need it.

fuck this shit, no one would pay that much for such underpowered laptop

Hey dude, I'm trying to learn more about IT and am just wondering if you could explain how that works. Why have a VPN and a proxy server on your home network? I'm just stupid and don't understand.

You're not going to do it... prove me wrong.

So you can remotely trigger torrents, access files on your SAN, view security camera feeds, etc.

>Then will come the FUN part of hooking up all the keys, power, cutting out holes for some sockets and so on..
Yeah, this part is why I really doubt it's going to work out unless you want some horrid ahmed clock boy-tier half ass job that you'd never want to take out in public anyway.

Honestly I wish everyone drooling over making Pi UMPCs would pool their efforts together and actually try to design a modern, professional solution instead of wasting a similar amount of time cooking up ways to shoehorn them into older enclosures that were never designed for them and will never be properly molded to take them, I'd love a presentable, AA-powered palmtop with basic networking capabilities for accessing remote systems and good PIM/mail software.

I'd be lying though if I didn't have a little bias in this idea because I tend to like collecting and messing with older palmtops like that, they're very decent PIMs as they are, especially the PC-compatible ones that can run all kinds of fun stuff. It's a shame to see one more taken out of circulation unnecessarily, plus those old enclosures are ugly as hell and contrast hard with modern design paradigms.

might get one to run a irc client some day.
