Me too. I usually grab one when it's back to stock, for some reason. Now I have 3 just laying around ... I always think I will need it for a future project, just need to come up with something :roll:

Can't you make those cool information mirror things with a zero?

Well that is pretty cool. Aside from the weather information. I hate that everything has to display the weather :lol:

Great idea, but i don't like that this thing will raise up my electricity bill that much.

so you still haven't got a pi0 ? :shock:
In the last two weeks it was in stock at thepihut for two times.


btw @Ganreizu :
nice Idea with the reddit frontpage-feed. I haven't had that in mind, but maybe I'll add something like that to the homescreen of my smarthome control panel (pimatic.org)

I've got my 0s for quite a while now. I was talking about running a "mirror" that uses a full sized television all day.

There are ways around that i guarantee it. Run it off a battery, set timers, add a dimmer or something...i really doubt it could cut into bills that much, and even so energy costs are set to plummet in only a couple years and drop to nothing in less than 14.
