If you pick up a copy of the MAGPi magazine you'll get a free one attached to it..

Normal price for PiZero would be around £4 ...

Good luck finding one. I expect they'll all be snapped up very quickly, and no doubt more than a few will find their way on ebay in due course

There were 4 in Tesco, Copdock, Ipswich - but I picked up 3 for myself and colleagues. I did leave the other one as I felt it would have been a little unfair to some poor kid that probably wanted one...

I'm such an angel...

Poor kid? I'd be surprised if anyone buying a Pi was under 30. In an age where parents on benefits throw the latest and greatest smartphones at little Chantelle or if they don't face a monumental strop out, I'm not exactly sold on the kids "too poor to get into coding" argument. Call me a jaded and cynical old git.

Nothing new or outstanding, clocked to 1GHz.


Note that there's only 1 USB, the one closest to the led is for power only. It's small, DDR3 small. I think the magazine give away is a landmark event.

I don't have a use for it, but I have a strong urge to insert one into me. Thinking

I'm building a PiFi which supports squeezecentre, airplay and DNLA and also has purty analog VU meters. There's a DAC in the offing for the pi0 (https://shop.pimoroni.com/collections/raspberry-pi/products/phat-dac) so I could make it smaller too.

Also looking at building a smart mirror type display.

Currently have one controlling my cheerlights too, although that's due to go onto an arduino YUN.

My Pi sits running OSMC and is configured to automatically download episodes for the TV shows I watch and movies too. It's connected to a 2TB HDD. I can also send YouTube videos to it, but it's not as good as a Chromecast for that.

The Pi Zero look great. Can't think of a use for it yet though.

SSH / Squid proxy.

For my safety and convenience, my employer uses the ZScaler web proxying service for all standard web traffic. This injects a CA cert and MITM hijacks all SSL connections to send our web traffic, in clear, to a Septic company. Including, for example, banking transactions.

Phuc.

Dat.

Biches.
