I thought a quick little project this weekend would be to set up a little Bluetooth audio receiver on a Raspberry Pi.
I’m now onto my third Raspberry Pi having found out that both the 0W and 3 have issues with running Bluetooth at the same time as Wi-fi. So now I’m trying with a 4.
Maybe once I’ve got it configured and working reliably I can go back to the 0W.
I got irked with RPi after they happily employed a former policeman and covert surveillance enthusiast and couldn’t see why anyone would have a problem with that. So I looked into tiny fanless PCs instead.
The Atom x5-Z8350 box (4 cores at 1.44GHz) uses less power than the Pi3 it replaced, performs better, and can run the same mainline Debian x86_64 as all my other machines.
Ah yeah, I did see that.
I already need a spreadsheet to keep a track of all my Pis, not sure I really ought to be adding more SBCs to that list. 
Ooh, need to track down something like this. RPi are too expensive when you can track down the actual model you need
