So - that's a pi pico, not a raspberry pi. It is a microcontroller, doesn't run linux. Original price sub $4, but the breakout board adds value. Use it for whatever you'd use an Arduino for.

I'd have to the autographed picture of John Stamos out to make room.

Make a Pi-hole.
drousnavat
kinky unless you mean something I am not familiar with

No good - it's a pico. You need a pi zero or better for a pi-hole. The pico doesn't run linux.

Probably make sure it's functional before committing to a project. Unfortunately, there are a lot of scammers out there peddling fake raspberry pis. The person selling these for a dollar likely isn't trying to rip anyone off, but I'm always weary when they aren't in the original packaging. It's always possible they or their supplier got scammed somewhere along the way.

Yeah, I am gonna try one of them when I figure out how lol

It's pretty straightforward. A 5 minute YouTube video can walk you through it. I've set up my fair share of them for several different applications.

it comes with the pico? nice.
drousnavat
Yeah, its a full kit. No idea what to do with them
Clockworkdancerobot
oh, check with the local school? They sometimes like donations.

If I came across them I'd probably buy a bunch. I like doing small projects.
drousnavat
They only had the 2. I grabbed them cause I thought it was a good deal. I have no actual use for them

Well, if you're bored, try looking how what projects you might try doing with one. The breadboard is versatile.

Only thing I have found is a project to make an emulator to hook up to a tv. I could make 2 of those and slap a couple of controllers on them, then stick them in the break room at work
