Lucky thrift find

Last weekend I got lucky.

I found myself wandering in a thrift shop, like it often happens, in a cold and humid autumn morning. Nothing special around me, to the point I started thinking of going home soon. In three hours I came across a clearly broken PlayStation 1, and an overpriced Commodore 64 (with overprice I mean they wanted 80€ for the untested unit, without cables, accessories, nor games. No thanks).

Is the Raspberry Pi Zero capable enough for security cameras?

Good question.

After picking up a Raspberry Pi Zero W on Kubii, and after having played around with it for a couple of days, I came to the conclusion that its suitability to the project largely depends on what you expect to achieve. I knew the Zero would be slower than the 3B, but I still got surprised by how easy it is to bring the platform to its knees.

Testing 1-2

Ladies and gentlemen,

the adventure begins! Finally! In this blog I will collect and document thoughts, events, developments, and all those behind-the-scenes of my projects that can't find place on the main YouTube channel. As a reader, you will be bombarded with:

• Retrogaming
• Vintage hardware from the 70s, 80s, and 90s
• Obscure and obsolete technology
• Tech tales
• Electronics projects
• Seriously questionable implementations
• Programming projects
• Occasional dad-humour

Have fun,
Kradion.
