Seems Basic was born out of need and the availably computer features at the time.

I was reading the Raspberry Pi FAQ and the limits of the soc used which reminded me that the Roku 3 uses a Broadcom Soc too, except that the Roku 3 Soc is a dual core 900mhz. Wonder if any Pi device might ever use the same Soc as the Roku 3 ? Here is a Roku 3 teardown for the tech minded, http://www...

The above poster is right I just was stating I had got online using my USB WiFi dongle. Which since I never bought the WiFi dongle for Rasbian, I was surprised that Raspbian recognised the USB WiFi dongle and it worked, without me having to install drivers.

Being a old ZX Spectrum user I have no clue on Rasp Pi programming but a internet search did pop this Tiny article up.

Got my first Pi recently a model Z after getting the OS working and best way to connect to one of my none powered USB hubs, I now have it going online for internet. Did not expect much as the USB Wifi dongle i used I bought ages ago for £2 way before Pi Z existed. It is a Widemac USB 2 wireless 802....

Interesting to know, wonder how many will be starting up the old classic computer emulators..

Myself I think Raspberry Pi Foundation should licence their 40 Pin GPIO standard to be used with Amlogic S905, S812, S802 and S805 SOCs running Android, any money generated could be put back into the Foundation R&D costs. It is a twist which would open up a second market in the Android OS before...

One thing that I notice is all the clones copy the bare board approach or slightly reinvent the wheel ,with a few added extra bits. Most clones seem to be a altered tablet board. I am surprised no one has thought of taking one of the many Android TV box designs with a quad core and adding a Raspberr...

People will buy anything.

What will be in all that ROM?

OS and for onboard storage.

My 47 inch Samsung HDMI TV has a Scart socket and a traditional Aerial socket as well as USB, HDMI. My secondhand TalkTalk Youview box has a Scart, so yes the scart socket is still in use. As others have noted a HDMI picture can be viewed over a scart connection and most people never notice any imag...

AMD should design for lower power use, they already make graphic chips that run with a passive heat sink couple that to a low power chip and jump on the Android band waggon for Android media streamer / TV. If they could hit the price point, the low power and CPU punch, they would have a market, but ...

:shock: I am wondering if RPi F should print the price on the Zero motherboard, they already print the logo.

Further back some one mentioned compatibility and software. I started with Sinclair ZX range, the Atari St both of which are well emulated on Windows PC these days as well as Android emulation of the Sinclair ZX range. If it came to it in the future some one will no doubt emulate a Raspberry PI givi...

I notice in the discussion on Pi Z availability that some have mentioned why does some one not make a Pi Z clone or a £10 Pi Z . As many know there is the £10 Orange Pi One, but these have a poor record on support and software support if you trust other comments posted on the internet. Thing is, RP...

Thank you for the link. I do however have a WiFi dongle put away somewhere safe, if only I could remember the safe place I put it

I cannot understand why on eBay it appears some people are bidding more for a Pi Z than it costs to buy the other models? They could buy a complete system with full ports for that money. Very odd. Have wondered is someone trying to make them look in high demand but no sure what is going on or why so...

Since my own experience as a new user has not gone the Pi Z user manual ddescribed way I have decided to explain it here Tried several times to download Noobs from Raspberry org but had a few fails as long download times on my 1.2MB broadband speeds.

I'm starting the rumour that they send them over the internet and print them on the other side, that's why they are so cheap!

With all these threads on Pi Z availability has anyone coined the phrase " Pi Stalker" yet?

When Apple introduced the iPad people said it was just a giant phone what persons or business would need that. How about reducing the electric used per desktop each year and reducing the heat produced. Let's replace that monitor with a low power use tablet display adjustable for health and safety. T...
