A Lovely 10C Site!

@c Oooh! And here I am, thinking of buying a Zero but still not convinced what I'll use it for…

Comments on using the zero with a car charger though?

The idea is that I can put it in a small box and carry it on trips.

Context - was in yellowstone recently and a friend with Android wanted to send pics to my S/O on her iPhone. There simply was no way to do it without network! I thought of buying one of those portable media management thingies, but then thought, "hey, if I setup a Pi as a portable media server thingy, I can save some moolah!" :D

@c the only USB peripheral I have is a WiFi module. Thanks for confirming. I certainly don't want to fry my only Pi… :)

@phoneboy oh of course… that's where it came from, after all, no?

@phoneboy yeah, India is where WhatsApp is most used and where WhatsApp abuse is most prevalent… It kinda makes sense to me to block all VOIP numbers, even though I've also run into this problem before!

@matigo no no… The cigarette lighter… I have a cigarette lighter charger which spits out 5V/2.4A of power, so wondering if I can power the RasPi with it…

Has anybody run their RasPi model A off a car charger? Pros/Cons? Pitfalls? TIA!

@phoneboy there's a LOT of spam on whatsapp…

@joeo10 I don't follow them outside of my RSS feeds… Maybe the late show/daily show ppl will cover it tonight….

@joeo10 what, again??

@jws I tried picking up go too, but it was too meh and not then as powerful as python.

I picked up node instead. At least people stuck with Chrome will like me… :P
