I got one too
I use mine for a 8TB Encrypted FTP server for use over Tor.
pretty neat stuff.

That's a waste of a microcontroller.
That's only an example.

why/how did you ever come to that conclusion?

can't the pie run one of the quake games pretty well?


wait what is that
microcomputer that can run minecraft and do various things

microcomputer that can run minecraft and do various things
What is it mainly used for?

run battlefield 4 on it and watch it explode

why/how did you ever come to that conclusion?
blah, confused you with Steve5451

but hosting anything on tor is enough for me to assume that person is a tinfoil-wearing anti-government forgetface

You can't get it to run any 32 or 64 bit programs because it's ARM architecture.
Soooo good luck. I had a webserver on mine, but SD card becomes corrupt atleast once a week so it's not worth it.

Buy a ProtoArmor case.
Overclock your Pi to 1GHz.
Learn Python.
Write cool programs and stuff using aforementioned learned Python.
Play Minecraft. (Not the regular version, but the dumbed-down free RPi edition.)
Use Python to do cool stuff with RPi Minecraft.
Buy a Motorola Atrix Lapdock for $60.
Tape the RPi to the back of the Lapdock and connect it with some $5 cables.
Enjoy your portable RPi.
Buy a really loving good $30 WiFi card and tape it to the Lapdock.
Use omxplayer to stream YouTube.
Enjoy your portable YouTube, MC and Python machine.
Get your ham radio license.
Buy a $30 handheld ham radio.
Use a USB soundcard and some adapter cables to interface said radio to your RPi.
Enjoy your new ability to access local radio-based text BBSes over ham radio.
Get Winlink running on RPi.
Send e-mail over ham radio using your RPi.
Use ham radio for other things.
Stick your RPi in a robot.
Buy a Pi Camera for $20 and strap the RPi into a high-altitude balloon.
Film balloon ascent.
Use newfound bragging rights for things.
Experiment with other miscellaneous stuff.

This is literally exactly what I did with mine.


i have one of those and i'm not sure what to do with it either.

It can barely run Windows XP.

No, it can't. The Pi has an ARM CPU. Windows is designed for the x86 architecture, and the 2 are not compatible (At least to my knowledge)

Anyways, use it for emulation. Even if you still have an old CRT TV, it has a composite video out port.
