Name one thing you can do with Raspberry Pi that you can't do with an old PC or laptop

240p output

Ever heard of a serial/parallel port?
Dumbfuck older computers have way more io than a fucking pi.

stop tripfagging

Ever heard of the concept of an anonymous imageboard?

Turn LEDs on and off.

>Name one thing you can do with Raspberry Pi that you can't do with an old PC or laptop.
create the same fucking thread everyday.
whoops, my bad /tpg/ exists

Run for hours on a $10 battery.

Fpbp

Old PCs are usually extremely bulky, many projects, require a light and small computer with extremely low power consumption.

I know this sounds stupid AF but I don't give a shit. I would love a tmobile sidekick with a raspberry pi SOMEHOW shoved in there. That would be my dream handheld.

Intel Compute sticks and Mini PCs or Laptops with Atom CPUs or m3-7Y30 can achieve this. Though idk how the rPi CPU compares. cpubenchmark.net/power_performance.html

Again, Compute Stick.

>What can you do with a single board computer that you can't do with a desktop computer

GEE I DUNNO

That isn't an old laptop. Go shill your stick elsewhere pajeet.

>isn't an old laptop
It costs as much as one. Old hardware should never be used because it's inefficient.

pi only for poor fags.

>It costs as much as one.
An old laptop costs zero.

filtered :^)

I have a pi that drives a digital signage display, getting ist content via wifi. it also serves as a pi-hole because why not. tell me what I should have used instead and why.

raspie 0 can idle at just 1 W

You can put it in your ass.

thanks for sharing *your* perspective with us

Isolate your attack vector, by physically separating processes.

but it costs more than a raspberry

THIS
although you have to get a hat to do component. Also some old ATIs have 15khz firmwares that play well in Linux, but nothing as easy or portable as a pi

this triptard again, fucking filtered, you utter faggot.

Use it as a firewall or router.
An old PC or laptop would need to much energy.

Use as an I2C bus

Only 2x as much while being more powerful

Name one thing you can do with Raspberry Pi that you can't do with Arduino

only answer that matters

No DAC/ADC
A LOT less actually controllable pins (there's only 8 on your parallel port)
Not very good bandwidth.

You haven't seen OPs ass , obv

pirate radio transmitter

Faggot

Kodi

It's still not an old pc / laptop you absolute fucking retard

Put it in a kawaii SNES case and install RetroPie for the ultimate manchild toy.

This. OP should be banned, this is the 50th time this thread has been posted.

be small

Run ARM binaries

run RISC OS
be safe from intel's ME botnet and meltdown
low power consumption
have easy access to new hardware, warranty, etc, can buy truckloads of them if necessary for whatever application you're using them for, compared to being limited to whatever random junk happens to be available at the time if you're using old PCs/laptops

>retrofag

be included with a Magazine?

Test your arm instruction-set code.

I think that would be dope AF, I'd love a Wonderswan Color with a Pi Zero shoved in there.

it's smaller and consumes less power
you can reasonably run a Pi off of a small pack of AA batteries, or at least a small USB powerbank
lots of gpio pins
it's also only $35 new, and like $60 tops if you needed to buy all the accessories (mouse, keyboard, video cable, sd card, power adapter. maybe a case)

typing this on my pi2 right now

And THAT is what I want. I'm not going to buy an old laptop that might not even work or be dirty. Just make it from scratch, build me a motherfucking mini synth audio device.

Can your laptop fit in a drone?

>arch user
That completely explains this retarded idea

Yes, and I'm going to tag onto this in case anyone has experience with it: I have a router that is MIPS architecture. I have a root shell to it. How do I test out MIPS code on it? I can't find an assembler on it or I just don't know how to invoke it. Should I try to grab an assembler emulating Debian MIPS and put it on my router?

can confirm, i do this via composite on my Pi to my CRT for retro gaymen

use it as a desktop. Not a very good one, but it can be, with a good variety of distros. as well, people have made mobile phones with them

more power is more power, you want less power.

Have much better power efficiency for use cases when you don't need a lot of CPU power or memory.

You want more power efficiency under a 5W load.

that's not an old computer and it also not nearly as cheap
nigger

run python and wxpython

be hip and cool on the internet

>90-100$ isn't nearly as cheap as 55-60$+HDMI cable
Are you fucking retarded?

Any guides on how to make my cellular data go through a pihole without making it slow as fucc?

Waste $35

it's over 50 because it gets sold out immediately and you have to buy it from a reseller.

The price is stable now.

Yes, at the stable $50.

The most s o y post in the history of Jow Forums

I recently bought mine for €32.

How does it feel to make a shit thread, get based the fuck off by the first reply and then after trying to argue with the most stupid answer possible get based the fuck off over and over on each reply?
You are worse than the degenerates behind the rapberry pi. At least those faggots made some money.

run ARM linux
less than 10 watts power usage
fit it in my pocket
fit it anywhere small
plug ~30 gpios in and keep it under the size of an altoids can

this but without all the fag people talk

Install gentoo in my pocket

risc os is pretty fun. if i were smart enough I'd try building a userland HAL for it in linux or bsd to work around smp/wifi/etc. issues

destroy SD cards

I literally just bought one 2 days ago for $30 from newegg
