Install Gentoo posted:Having your kid tie up your TV set rather than your computer isn't much better really, and of course the set of people of [has no home computer] AND [buys a raspberry pi] is null. Not to say that's argument against getting one, but it's not really convenient. I see somebody failed logic class. A lot of families have more than one TV, most kids these days have their own TV. The raspberry pi is not for families who lack a PC, it's for families who don't want to gently caress up their only PC because their kid's python program had an "undocumented feature". Install Gentoo posted:If you trust kids with a bare circuit board computer to not mess it up, well that's pretty silly. You'd also be relying on them having everything else needed to use it at home (compatible display, input devices, and being allowed to use all them). Tons of people still don't have TVs at home that accept HDMI, and composite SD video is pretty drat crappy for coding and use, especially if this thing can't autodetect when on composite output to adjust display. The raspberry pi FAQ states they intend to have a housing for the device by summer, they don't intend to sell the original bare PCBs to schools. Until we see the device running over composite video I would not disqualify that option. Yeah composite sucks, but it might be the only TV you have without buying a monitor. But if you could read text from an SNES or even better a WII, you can probably read the screen from the raspberry pi. A netbook or laptop would be nice, although far more fragile (spinning hard drive, hinge, built in crushable screen, etc) and would cost a lot more than $25.

Placed an order for a Pi from Newark at 11:45am, got an e-mail saying it was shipping today. Got an e-mail at 5pm saying it will ship 10/26, I am not sure if I should believe that shipping date or not.

Is the Pi Camera a good buy? $25 for 1080P seems like a good deal, but also seems far too cheap. Also, fixed focus seems like it might be a deal breaker but I am just wondering if anyone has experience with this.

Hadlock posted:There was never once a screenshot of a desktop or a diagram depicting a mouse and keyboard hooked up to a win 10 Pi with a monitor like a desktop. Your statement is true, but they came pretty close:
