Need a teeny tiny computer that can run Android or Linux? Only have $20? Well you're in luck. When we first met the Orange Pi (get it?) the company was selling a nice Raspberry Pi clone for $15. Now they're selling a souped up version with all the trimmings.

The board includes an Ethernet port and three USB ports. It has 1GB of memory, H5 High Performance Quad-core 64-bit Cortex-A53, and a standalone graphics chip. It supports camera input as well as HDMI out and even has a physical power switch and IR blaster. In short it's a mini computer that can probably play some games, display some HD video, and generally be used in all sorts of home-brew projects.

You can check out the specs here and order online. If you only have $5 you can pick up an Orange Pi Zero with Wi-Fi and Ethernet built-in. It's no Raspberry but who doesn't love oranges?

    Where are you seeing that?

    The two linked sites that give a date show "yesterday" and "Nov 3, 2016".

    Did I miss something?

      We actually can't.
      We live in a happy world where we can applaud you in many ways. But, while we can disagree with you or tell you you're a troll, we cannot bluntly express our conviction that you are factually wrong.

        Except by posting a reply that actually says why and how you're wrong, of course. Which I think says far more than a single -1, Wrong mod ever could.

          Sure, but imagine the world-ending confusion which could result from a SoylentNews comment being read and acted upon by someone interrupted before they can read the friendly fact-checking reply!!!!!

          Not that anyone could find any recent examples of incorrect things being said in a setting in which the lack of instant rebuke would result in some witnesses propagating demonstrably absurd statements as truth...

        Sure you can, "disagree" is totally an option. It doesn't mod down, but it at least communicates "wrong".
