A for-real no joke $25 computer.

I don't have one, but I'm about to get one to use as a video streaming device. i just don't see how you can go wrong for the price.

i've played around on a friend's.

it's fun.

but he's like a true nerd in every sense of the word other than having moderate social skills.

He ethically hacks for fun.

I feel like Raspberry Pass Interference is a penalty that can only be committed by A & M's secondary.

one of my biggest concerns is I won't be able to get any use out of it because i'm not a big enough nerd to understand and fully use the thing to it's fullest potential. Hopefully i'm nerdier than I think.

i work hardcore in technology and could not find a practical use for it. fun to tinker with. he had all sorts of things to do with it, but he eats, breathes, and sleeps this stuff.

that being said, even though i'm very technical in my everyday work life, my home life doesn't involve much technology. i think the most technologically advanced thing is that I have a blu-ray player that connects via wifi for netflix. i've never owned my own laptop/PC and own no gadgetry.

I'm a happy medium between the two of you somewhere. My daily life is heavy into technology but i'm my homelife only consists of crap most people without any tech knowledge are capable of setting up. I really want to turn this into a media pc type setup, I think that's where i'll get my most use.

Awesome that's a good sign at least my research on it was good.


I'll post more after I get it and find a good use for it.

I thought this was going to be a thread about different types of ice cream/yogurt/slushies.

Look and see if you can get Mythbuntu or XBMC on it.

Might be fun to get to tinker around with a linux distro on, but I have old computers to do that with.

In the middle of building an automated temperature control for my smoker using RP using this as a guide. Pretty fun to tinker with.

What's the difference between a Raspberry PI and an Arduino?

LINK

Basically that article starts with the main difference being that the arduino is a mini controller while the raspberry pi is a full blown mini computer.
