All right /g/entoomen you keep saying the raspberry pi is a meme so put your money where your mouth is and lets see some alternatives
It's not a meme if you actually have a use for it, and don't just use it as a means to shitpost on various sites, asking people what you should do with your own device.

The ODroid-C2 and the BeagleBones are good alternatives
BeagleBones come with an ADC, unlike the Raspberry
>>55413989
An alternative is a vm
>>55414029
This.
HOWEVER, If you want alternatives you can typically look to other, third-party, Pies like the Banana or Orange pies.
Beware, though, that the support (and subsequently documentation) are really not as good as the raspberry, but it's getting better with time.
>>55413989
the CHIP looks promising

Did the memory for Odroid finally get cheaper? 16GB was like €80 when I had to use an ODroid. The XU is pretty cool but the fan kinda beats the purpose of these kind of boards.

Protip: there is a wikipedia page for this
>>55414147
seems more useful just for headless stuff though

>and don't just use it as a means to shitpost on various sites
I use mine every day to shitpost on /g/
>>55413989
I use mine as a solar powered SFTP/mumble server

>Allwinner
Disgusting.
Seems you enjoy chinese documentation that lacks all the essentials?
>>55413989
stick it up your as
>>55415101
you'd want the zero for that
there are also sbcs in dimm format, which would probably the best, they're expensive though
>>55413989
Orange pi pc plus
Until I can watch 10bit anime on any Pi then it's not worth it
>>55415798
why don't you wait for decent 10bit rips instead?
>>55415847
Waiting is painful

Banana is dead, LeMaker is dropping support. Next purchase will be a pine or an odroid, 2GB of ram is so needed.
>>55414053
>ODroid-C2
Why? The C2 requires blobs to boot just like the Raspberry Pi.
Do you think I could recycle the motherboard of this laptop and use it to make a seedbox? It would be like a Raspberry Pi but 10 times better.

It seems like too much work to be honest, laptop motherboards aren't exactly good anyways.
>>55414029
>It's not a meme if you actually have a use for it
This pretty much sums it up
If you have the knowledge and have a purpose for it then its wonderful
Otherwise, and if you just want it for emulators or as a cheap computer you'd be better off by getting an android stick or something
