Yeah like its a weird article idea where the pi is expensive compared to an old phone which you have for free. But that doesn't make the used phone cheaper. You can just as well say why use an expensive PI when I have an old computer with a 1680ti and 12 gigs of ram. Like yeah okay but what does that have to do with Pi? Entirely different device classes imo

The article only talked about buying used phones, not using phones you already have.

Or what about an old Pi?

		Why get an expensive Pi when I have an old free Pi? My issue is with the expensive qualifier. Anything is expensive compared to something you have lying around for free. If you want to compare the expensive factor, at least use some kind of cost to compare like the price of a used phone etc or the cost of a basic server to see how they differ.
