Ten million Raspberry Pis

Re: Ten million Raspberry Pis
#12I wonder how many of them are just collecting dust in peoples' desk drawers. We ordered two of the original ones for our office to play around with them, but only now, after 4½ years, I finally managed to find use for one as music player, after I decided I was too lazy to plug/unplug the speakers from my laptop.

What it does is up to you, you are only limited by your imagination.

I have three Raspberry Pi 1, model B and two Raspberry Pi Zeros. Not a single one is in use. And for running an emulator (SNES etc.) I will probably need another one with more power. Not sure what to do with the others right now.

So are a lot of regular computers and phones.

The original pi and zero will run SNES fine. It's the beefier systems that you won't be able to run like PSX and N64. Give retropie a try and see for yourself.

"This is an unashamedly premium product", says the webpage. The Pi was originally designed with re-using existing peripherals, and will be used that way most of the time, but there's still demand for a premium starter kit.

I also ended up buying a 50 dollar ubuntu intel computer stick which was great, and replaced the raspberry pi for emulation.
I have a friend who has a 3d printer and tons of electrical engineering gear, who just loves his, and does tons of products with them.
