| Something in me wants to buy every SBC and/or microcontroller that is advertised to me. |

| Even though all can be replaced by a decent mini pc with beefy memory, with lots of VMs. |

It draws a whopping 7W from the wall at idle (and it's near always idle), but the price of a new RPi is the same as 13k hours of electric usage for this. Using whatever compute you have sitting in a drawer usually makes the most sense (including an old phone). | |

| Yeah I have this problem (?) too. They are just so neat. I also really like tiny laptops and recreations of classic computers. |
