5 Amazing Gadgets Built On Raspberry Pi 

Mycroft is like kinect ........ it opens on the first word only.

So thats where M$ dumped all the produced but never sold Kinect devices... they simply dumped it in Mycroft |o|

tazer191 ik, *that filthy bastard*

At least it is less than morgz

Just skip ten seconds before the ad comes lol

@@MadhuKraft oh wow thanks for the advice, I think I have moved on from this catastrophe though

Hell yeah

Nah, ...it's just time for the second phase of the project... call the sleazy lawyers.

RetroGamerAndy what about Google home

Ding was just thinking of that as well

Slice is the most useless out of any of these raspi builds. Literally there is no reason to use slice when you could just have a pc and play it on there or use devices like Kodi. Hell, I homebrew my Nintendo Wii and I have all my shows, movies, music and videos all on my Wii with an external hard drive.

BitesCGI hahahaha

I actually liked that, the last thing i do before leaving each morning is turning up our AC so it's not blowing super cold all day, then i turn it down as soon as we get home. we don't have a wifi enabled thermostat, though we did in our old house and i'd do it via the phone app then. Would be nice for a device to do this automatically.

The AC setting is to 'trick' the thermostat to not turn on AC during the day, wasting power.

They both play 1080p at 60fps.

Jeremiah Lauzon It came out way before Android TV

Jeremiah Lauzon Honestly, the slice seemed like the only entertaining piece to me.

but an android tv box don't have RGB lighting XD

Jeremiah Lauzon please explain what benefit of Android is thanks

+Robert Wagner Same for Amazon Echo, the new Google thing, Xbox Kinect voice control, Hey Siri, the list goes beyond my knowledge, I'm sure.

Haha thats the same way Alexa, Amazon Echo and Google Home work.

Robert Wagner except that mycroft is actually open source, so it's actually checkable, whether it's stalking you

Techakti originally it was Xbox media centre as it was made after first Xbox console got hacked.

you may dont remember it, today it is called KODI and you can download it for free and you can put it on your RBP. You need a box and a remote from ebay and you are done.

Yeah, when I bought my Raspberry Pi it came with XBMC already on the SD card.

You know high resolution audio is actually a thing?

@@tofurama yup

HeyitsDakta hey you dropped this ‘

YAY!

And if you use split-screen like they did it's 1.5 inch. Lol

no thanks,not usefull, not comfortable, i have 10 inch display and have lot too small. not good.

They are playing Mario kart with Xbox controllers that aren't even on

They sold 56 units for $80 each to early backers, I'd say that's a way more attractive price then nearly $200.

You know... google and Amazon are about to get thousands from their own projects... this one isn't as expensive as theirs.

"Missing a key feature, just develop your own solution" yeah because we are all capable to that... haha!

Joe Zylstra And Raspberry Pi 2 didn't have wifi so, did they account for that with a 3rd party wifi module?

the amazon echo dot is $50 and has a feature where it can tell which dot ur closest to if u have more than one dot, it will have only the closest one respond

If you can afford a seven room house this is affordable to you

but a Google Home Mini is $50 dollars and once went on sale for $18 dollars, plus it connects to 100s of apps and can control much more, plus it can connect to Google services like RU-vid and get it to play videos on your chromecast. Plus (again) you can buy 3 of these, and still not reach the price of a Mycroft. Oh yeah, it also has better TTS.

@@jonasgrill1155 You can't beat privacy of Open Source

I was thinking the same thing, the Amazon dot is like $45 (35 on prime day) and even the echo and the google device are cheaper then this. i like its open source and open for add-ons, but not sure that's worth such a high pricepoint.

Jason Larson use monopoly play money...problem solved!

I agree. Chaining these computers down to simple tasks like "media center" and "game console" is ridiculous and hubristic. I bought 6 of them and set them free in the forest so they can do what THEY want to do. I visit them from time to time. They seem happy.

JonitoFischer yrp

No

nah

I thought it said minecrap

Kazz Maybe the face is to remind the owner what a human being looks like under a beard more suited to a Cornish fisherman :)

Also it sounds like a meme voiceover

You can add your own features big man

Less chance of the government invading your privacy by letting one of their spies into your house

Bruh

MuscleMan you put "an" before an object starting with a

a raspberry pi costs % $35. and you can get android tv box for just $25 or less.

austin bevis, you forgot to use a full stop/period at the end of your sentence. Try to get your grammar right before attempting to correct someone else.

Not true, every Dream starts somewhere

5 Raspberry pi cases worth more than pi itself.

Or 5 gadgets clips cladded with 5 ads. .. OR how to put 5 adverts into a 13 minute clip..

You have to admit connecting it to mind storm is pretty sweet.

Andy B at least they do something. Mycroft is ok and Slice is good too

or an android tv box

ipod?

ya they are the usb on the side is a split controller adapter

Trent Bell notice the green Xbox led flashing? That means its not connected

Jos Meerssman nigga its connected

Jos Meerssman not necessarily, just means it's connected to something other than a 360.

matt Marshall what is smart? It's not intelligence, its dedication. Albert Einstein couldn't tie his shoes, does that mean he was stupid? No, it meant he was more interested in his thought experiments.

garrett gaddy Einstein was the man lol but hey I still manage to blow peoples minds with the things I do and that's all that really matters

Yup :P if you enjoy what you do an do it often you'll surprise yourself with what you can do. ;)

matt Marshall Islands p3p34 yu hu n. b x

have them take the red pill

k1 wiz80 that wont happen anytime soon. Computers are straight up idiots. If you tell a child to go pickup a tool for you, like a handsaw, the child will automatically know that if it isn't in its usual place, then it must be somewhere else and the child will either go back and tell you it isn't there or trying to look for it. A computer however is a whole other matter. If you tell it to pickup the tool it will go to the exact place where the tool uses to be, but if the tool isn't there it will simply put out an error message because it cant spot it on its normal place. It will only try to look for it, if that has been written in its code and even then it will only look at places where you told it to look. It will neither report back to you with anything, unless it stands in its code. AI today literally only does what it's code says and nothing else. Nothing in existence is more stupid than a 01 machine. Only AI in a Quantum Computer can possibly become self aware like Skynet. But there are no Quantum computers that are strong enough for that yet and even then you can throw on a limiter in its code, making it clear that it must follow orders and can thus not use self awareness to anything. So really no need to be afraid 😊

Well thats cleared that up then, still.......i wouldnt rule that kind of stuff out in the near future, i honestly believe that it could be possible given the rate at which technology is advancing, then again i could be totally wrong, only time will tell.

But mycroft software is open source, you cannot look up the code of any other one of these things like google home or amazon echo. I won't trust putting alexa or google assistant with its mics turned on in my house.

Andy Dunnock is that a sauna
