Not much love here for the Pi Zero W. I love them for being so flipping cute. I have a couple I use when I am learning a new system admin tool or service and I need to be able to let it run undisturbed to observe stability and function.
Lately I am learning MQTT so am using one as a broker to manage some homemade smart devices.
If I can ever find one in stock, i want a couple of Zero 2 for similar projects that would benefit from the extra oomph.
I don't buy any pis because they are $100+ in Canada.
Remember when it was supposed to be a cheap computer? Ya..
Have you checked recently? According to the rPi locator, they’re starting to be available again
Just checked. All of the "cheap" ones require you to order 2+, and then have insane shipping costs. The rest are $100-120 CAD.
I don't think these things will ever be affordable. People who want one badly, will pay the money, and everyone knows it. No need to sell them at MSRP.
I have a Zero with a macropad attached. Key presses are then sent to Home Assistant through MQTT. The zero is perfect for it, small and low power.
Still wondering what to actually do with my Zero 2.
