  • I bought one not really knowing what I’d use it for.

    • So far the bluetooth keyboard has been the most useful.
    • I have a Co2 sensor on the GPIO for monitoring air quality.
    • Been using it to try and locate IR codes for a sound bar I lost the remote to.
    • I used it for remote shutter release on my DLSR.

    Device seems well built and there’s a huge community with lots of development so always something else to use it for.






  • I will never get how and why Apple shills defend the shit that Apple does.

    They want the product because it looks fancy and they don’t know any better about the specs to realize it’s overpriced. Or they do know and don’t care because it’s a status symbol. Which is worse, really.

    I mean the first iPhone couldn’t even use the music on the phone for ringtones. There were like 10 pre-loaded rings and that was it. Meanwhile my Windows smart phone could use any MP3 on the SD card (which could also be used to play music). But people were lining up around the block for the iPhone even though it was objectively worse that the other phones at the time. It was just shiny and didn’t require thinking to use, just blind acceptance.
