a guy made a freaking automated garden, that plants the seeds, water the plants, messure the moist and take care of unwanted weeds with a raspberry pi, but of course it's still the add blocker, the smart mirror and the surveillance that gets the top 5 xD

This guy has a great voice and delivery. He should get voice over work.

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”- Arthur c. Clarke.
The raspberry pi embodies that fact

I've used it for several years as digital signing in our church.

[pkonigsberg]

I built a sensor for rising water in my sump pump well and it sends me a text and email and turns on a backup water pump as well.

[dreamingflurry]

I know I am late to this party - very late at that!
Still: Finally a youtuber who doesn't drone on about pie-hole etc. and shows real projects that don't just use the pi as is, but do something with it :)

I personally like the smart mirror the most!! Very cool and useful tool for everyday use. Are you planning to introduce an updated version of the video with new Raspberry Pi DIY projects?

[thatsdaniellelol]

Woaaah WHAT!!?!?! Are you serious!!? This is my new hobbie!! I wanna be a clever geek!!🙌🏾😍
(Also this man has an amazing speaking voice)

I ordered a Raspberry Pi 4 three hours ago.. exactly when this video released at this point.

I run pi-hole on a raspberry pi zero w
for the pi4 i've tried the following
1. network storage with wireless media player
2. steam link pc to TV for couch gaming
3. low power download machine (both torrents and direct downloads) - great for those over-night massive downloads/updates
I really want to buy the camera module and maybe try the home surveillance option.

[khominhvi]

I'm using 7 of them ...
1x Pi 3 Model B - Octoprint 3D printing Server,
1x PI 3 Modle B+ - PiHole adblocker w/Touchscreen Dashboard,
2x Pi Zero W - MotionEye CCTV Cameras,
2x Pi Zero - Digital Signage,
and 1x Pi Zero W - TV tuner/Server/PVR.
The raspberry pi is a pretty versatile device. The smart mirror and portable arcade looks interesting, but I'm thinking of doing the Pi Gameboy.

I use OMV and PiHole on my RP4b. Can't live without it.

The power of the pi in the palm of my hand

[johnsausage]

Holy moly.. the moderator has a really great voice! If he doesn't do it already, he should totally do voice overs for audio books and such!

[AnshGupta]

Is it just me or this guys is so amazing :)

[XTenDaysX]

So you have to have this computer running the entire time this stuff is operating?

[RIP]

If Todd Margaret was a tech youtuber. thanks for the ideas though, the adventure pi would be a really fun project

[ethanspitips]
