I think I found the issue:
I don't trust the government.
Should be a civil society or NGO.
Mainly telemetry, like temperature inside, outside.
Script to read a data and push it into a RRD, later PostreSQL.
ligthttpd to serve static content, later PHP.
Once it served as a bridge, between LAN and LTE USB modem.
Maybe not shit, but exotic at that time, year 2012.
The first Raspberry Pi, model B 512 MB RAM, with an external 40 GB 3.5" HDD connected to USB 2.0.
It was running ARM Arch BTW.
Next, cheap, second hand mini desktop Asus Eee Box.
32 bit Intel Atom like N270, max. 1 GB RAM DDR2 I think.
Real metal under the plastic shell.
Could even run without active cooling (I broke a fan connector).
IMAX 3D was impressive. Regular cinemas with 3D movies, meh.
Cold War Era 2.0.
The HDMI is a scam at this moment.
New standard, hmm, let's make an extra profit it.
Another new cable to make, to buy.
Isn't a surgeon's "HUD" a killer app?
It's probably a good product, but in niche applications, not for the masses.
