12 here... sigh. Then again, all of them have had a good amount of use over the years. But 10 of them (RPi 1B-3B+) are no longer in use. Tempted to buy a VoCo

12 here... sigh. Then again, all of them have had a good amount of use over the years. But 10 of them (RPi 1B-3B+) are no longer in use. Tempted to buy a VoCore, but I won't. It'd most probably just join the Raspberry Pis in a drawer.

What mean duration have you seen?

  None of them have ever broken. Otherwise I've used them up until the next model is released. 1B, 2B, 3B, 3B+ and now 4B. Plus one zero.

You could probably donate or sell the older Raspberry Pis...

I have a drawer where old SBC's go to die :) It's right next to my arduino/micropython boards. Years ago i ran quite a lot of stuff on a Raspberry Pi, but despite them growing more and more capable, my computing needs at home have gotten less and less. I ran a homebuilt surveillance system on them for some years, RPi Zeros for the nodes with motion detection, and a NAS as a storage target and object detection, but i eventually replaced it with UniFi Protect and HomeKit Secure Video. A couple of years ago i still had a couple running AdguardHome, but after that got replaced by NextDNS, i have only one left, running "power monitoring" and HomeBridge in my summerhouse.

  > but despite them growing more and more capable, my computing needs at home have gotten less and less. And still, with my computing needs becoming more minimalistic, my RPi3B+ just doesn't deliver. I'm currently trying to make it run my emacs/cli-based workflow somewhat acceptable, but the darn thing can't even run a shell without noticeable lag. There is a noticeable delay between keyboard entry and things showing up every few seconds. Not cool.

> But 10 of them (RPi 1B-3B+) are no longer in use. Sell them. There's basically no supply and very strong demand right now, because in addition to hobbyist uses, there are a lot of people who have built products that are based around Pis and who can't sell their products, because they can't get Pis. Go check eBay prices. 3Bs are selling for $70-$100. The 8GB 4s are selling for $150-$200. It's the best time to unload them you're ever likely to see for older hardware.
