• If there is no GPIO, then you might as well buy an old PC from a pawn shop

• there aren't enough Zemaboards forum – discussion around to get started … I'll just stick to Raspberry pi …

• How about a symbolic link to the 1TB drive on the emmc drive. Then browse and create folders from there.

• the intro sounded like a toilet trip

• dont buy a Zumaboard, buy a HP prodesk 400 mini. I have two running at home in a Proxmox cluster and the hardware specs are great

• 230 € this not anyway like cheap

• Just get used mini-pc(s) from HP/ Lenovo/ Dell for those price. You'll get much-much better perf. Although, they use active cooling. But you can underclock and undervolt, then limit the PL1/PL2 to just, like, 20w and tune down the fan.

• The clickbait on these videos…
  I should have known better by now.
  Yeah, for a few months you where technically correct. The best kind of correct.

• Pis are cheap again.

• 199.. ya I have not seen a rpi over 100 so nice try.

• Booooo

• Looking for something just like the Zema Board but with ARM. Suggestions anyone?

• Just get one of those micro form factor intel/amd boxes. Desktop performance with raspberry pi prices.

• No, it raises the question. It doesn't beg the question. Yes, everyone is using it wrong. No, there is no excuse for perpetuating this abuse. All it does is make you look like the shallow, pretentious, vain user of fancy phrases that you are. Yes, the phrase as such exists. No, it does not mean what you think it means. Stop needlessly contributing to this corruption of language. You're not the valiant contributor to language evolution you might think you are. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. There is a perfectly good phrase for what you want to say.

• Wait, people use mastodon still?

• The only reason I would still prefer rpi is if I need GPIO pins for my projects as its better and reliable than arduino

• Rip off trash 😂

• I got an intel n5105 mini pc with 2.5gbps for $110 I saw on a video, when they were $90! It is a Melefon. That's 4 cores for less than the Zima 2 core.

• All those boards are still too big for what I want them for … need more the RPI zero size.

• Thanks for the great video. Have you tried zfs on linux with this sbc? Zfs is native to Linux, some what easy to setup, and free. Moreover, secure & redundant. A low power zfs storage server on linux is a video I would watch more than once. Thx again, keep making videos.

• theres one thing your not thinking about the word celeron lol you can keep it and also we like running ARM software cheers.

• The Zima board is x86, not sure that PoE is possible.

• No GPIO?

• My starter pc was a chromebook

• Meh for a hundred less I could buy a used i5 business pc that has more horsepower and cheaply expandable ram. If you don't need fast, just get a pi, this is just needlessly expensive.

• Symlink to the correct path

• Interesting – I am thinking of getting one of these boards. I am currently using CasaOS on my RPi4 and I didn't have any troubles with external storage. But I will say that in its current state, you definitely need to have a good understanding of Docker to get things working properly. For example, a lot of the containers from the App Store are specific versions, rather than :nightly or :latest, meaning you can miss out on new features, and there's no way to edit the setting from CasaOS. I've been using Portainer to "fix" the apps and adjust them to my liking as CasaOS's settings menu is just a bit too limited. But it's almost there!

  I think what excites me the most about the Zimaboard aside from the obvious better CPU and ports is the possibility of attaching a cheap GPU to do hardware video encoding 🙂

• Yeah, no. The whole appeal of the Raspberry Pi is its price, and thankfully it is deflating back to pre pandemic prices.

• I'd love to strap one of these to a 3d printer to act as a low-power, simple cad and slicer utility. sure, it only has gigabit, but that and the built in media engine should be plenty for running that Looking Glass program I heard Wendell was helping out with a while back and controlling it through my main machine. at worst I could print a housing/mount and throw my old 1050ti or 1660ti onto it with an old PSU for stronger encoding horsepower.

• Trash

• Do they all have Realtek ethernet?

• i just use an old pc for free.

• a much better option is a thin client from hp like t620/630 or dell wyse 5070. quite strong quad core and power consumption max 17W. Possibly much faster lenovo m73 / m93 with power consumption 35w max

• Clickbait. 200 dollar alternative..

• Any alternative with PoE and 2x intel? Or will that just mean back to the usual fanless pfsense boxes?

• POE should be standard

• how much did they pay you to try and sell this junk?

• Got a gamepi43 4.3" gameboy shell bundeled with pi4b 2gb for 130€/140$. Which is pretty nice. But pi's are now more available like a pi4 with power supply is 89,95€ right now.

• I dont know whats going on in the US but 8gb pis with memory a case a charger and hdmi are selling at 130 usd cheaper still if you get 4gb ive never seen one sell higher than 105GBP
