Sell it
I'm dead serious. They can go for a decent price which should cover the cost of a X86_64 machine
Why would I want a x86 machine if all I need runs so well on my Pi and uses like under 5 Watts?
The mini-pcs that people typically recommend use around that at idle, and are much more powerful and have more reliable storage. But if you all you need is a Pi that's fine of course.
What are the mini PCs people typically recommend?
Lenovo Tiny series for example, and I believe there are HP and Dell equivalents.
idk about a 4b these days but the 5's are stupid priced. You can get a refurbed 6th gen intel machine with 16gb of ram and an SSD for the price of a 4Gb Pi 5. Add an ESP32 running ESPhome or Firmata and you've got everything you could do with a Pi and a lot more.
Got a link? I'd love to get me one of those
Something like the HP EliteDesk 800 G2 will do the trick, they are all over eBay
If they've already got a 4B there's no reason not to use it for one of the many low-power low-profile uses, especially when the cost of PC components is going nuts now
Whats an x86_64 equivalent of a pi these days? I'd love to find one, especially worried if pi goes the way of Arduino
Check out the Futro S740. It is more powerful than the pi, uses comparable power and still quite compact.
They can be found (in Germany at least) for 40โฌ with 4gb RAM and about 50โฌ for 8gb of ram. Ram is upgradeble, so is storage.
If you want something (much) more powerful, there is the Lenovo tiny line, for example the m710q or m720q (one cpu generation newer).
Much appreciated will check it out! ๐
