Build a machine that makes your breakfast every morning when you wake up. Where's your spirit of invention?

congrats, you spent money on an education tool

Sounds like a breadboard or Arduino is more your bag.

Google Pi-hole.

Why would you want this low powered garbage device?

Honestly debating doing the same thing.

What is the best emulator set up for one of these things. There are some kicking around where I work and I don't think anybody even knows we have them since I found them in a dusty af closet.

I actually use my pi as my carputer. I used to have a full desktop setup in the trunk, them moved to a laptop under the front seat, now it's a pi in the glovebox

http server for a private file dump/image host/etc
syncthing node for private filesync cloud
discord chatbots host

Like a robot whose while purpose in life is to butter your toast? That's very smart.

they're meme devices marketed to idiots that never actually soldered anything and think they are some hipster 'maker' fag or whatever they call them

Works OK as a CNC monitor/server in conjunction with Arduinos as controllers.

Not perfect, but fun. Might be better to use a Pi directly as a controller instead, especially for printers.

their original intention was to have a computer cheap enough to sell to schools to teach programming classes, but loser "maker" faggots stole them all and hock them on ebay for $500. getting kids into programming was a noble cause

Remote/scheduled Wake-on-LAN server.

Thinking about using it as a cloud server. Is it reliable?

>Can't read.
It is pretty common for devices with a lot of hype to have people buy them cheaply so they can sell them way overpriced on ebay. I can't decide on whose fault that is. What these ebay sellers are doing is pretty scummy, but there are people out there willing to pay 500 dollars for a 35 dollar computer.

>getting kids into programming
They do that by themselves. You don't need to make them. Doesn't work.

You could always use it to run rawdog or something like that.It's actually pretty useful in order to avoid having different rss setups on different devices.

I gifted mine to my wife who is a teacher. Pi3 boots on usb device plugged in, deploys a webserver and a wifi hotspot. She then can plug in the projector to show her students the content while they can log into the wifi to view/download the material.
Also got a Pi0 hooked up to the lights and shutters to simulate someone being in the house when we are on vacation.

DERP TOO LAZY TO THINK OR USE GOOGEL

One with kodi and emulators hooked to a tv an one with pihole and transmission as extension of the router
Both do the job with low energy consumption, pretty good value actually

>use it for gaming
Why?
Why not just run the emulator on a regular machine?
Why does it need to be on an inconvenient device with limited resources and abilities?
