measnwhile i have one of each model starting w/ 2 in my house. I still need to find new projects for the last 2. 2 magic mirrors and a retropi emulator is enough.

Get a SDR and run a flight tracker. I have one that passes data out to https://www.flightradar24.com/
It is kind of cool to see (in real time) tracking data on aircraft around you and if you pass data to fr24 they give you a free premium account.
If you don't have something for it. Home assistant for various smarthome/home automation stuff that is local-only (you can do cloud stuff if you want but don't have to).

I do have a cool app on my phone that lets me know when the ISS is about to fly over. Also a group of 4-5 blackhawks flies over my house monthly or so tho i won't try to track those.

I use Libre Le Potato. It seems to be OK for most things.

Here I was thinking you had advice for people who couldn't find a private investigator.
Thanks for the tip on embedded computers though!

Thanks for the tip. Have you by any chance looked into the reason why the original Pi boards are so hard to come by? Feels like this drought is going on for ages. Blamed it on 'Rona circumstances when I last dug in but that shouldn't matter anymore, right?

I think it's a combination of market forces (Broadcom not giving them as many CPUs) and the Pi Foundation concentrating more on their industrial customers.
Other manufacturers don't seem to be having any problem, you can buy Amlogic/Rockchip-based boards all day.

Odroid has good support in broader communities. This is why Odroid is a good pick. Review sites like Armbian and see which boards they support. If the board is supported with a modern kernel, it's likely a good option. Doesn't mean fully GPIO is available, but for many uses GPIO support isn't required.
