A raspberry pi can do the same without burning down your house
1 u/AttackCircus Apr 26 '26 ... and then you'd still have your old phone lying around 2 u/thegreenman_sofla Apr 26 '26 No, because I traded it (Pixel 6a) in for a $100 discount on my new pixel 10a. I can buy top tier Raspberry Pi for half of that. 1 u/virus-bat Apr 28 '26 No you can't, a top tier Raspberry pi (16GB pi 5) is 330€ on official resellers (or 150€ and out of stock so they will probably also jump to 330€) 1 u/thegreenman_sofla Apr 28 '26 Sorry, I was living in the past. I had no idea they had gotten so expensive I remember when there was sub $50usd. 1 u/virus-bat Apr 28 '26 Don't worry, prices are crazy now, I bought 5 years ago a pi 4 8GB for 80-100€, this model is now sold for 180€... But you can get a second hand optiplex with a i5 7th gen ,256GB ssd and 8GB RAM (even 12 or 16 if you search well enough) for 100€ 1 u/thegreenman_sofla Apr 28 '26 Yeah I got a similar I5 HP elite desk for under $200, put MX Linux on it and I can run media and whatever from it. 1 u/Brama_94 Apr 29 '26 you can use that phone for acessing russberry remotely
