Well, given I can’t demonstrate Kitten (https://codeberg.org/kitten/app) on a PineBook Pro due to lack of HDMI out, I just ordered a CrowPi L since I have a Raspberry Pi 4 lying about unused.

Got the advanced kit – want to demonstrate how you can do Small Web dev on this thing. And for education… imagine kids making a web site that displays sensor readings (humidity, temperature, etc.) :)
(Note: this is in no way an endorsement of spycop-hiring Raspberry Pi Foundation.)
…And on that last note, I’ve been trying to find alternatives to Raspberry Pi – would be very interested if folks have any leads… especially to boards that can be used for education.
@aral check out olimex's olinuxino boards. They're open hardware, much hardier, and fully free software. Current iterations don't have wifi on them unfortunately, but they have also pioneer boxes that are basicly small freedombox servers. :)

@tonton Thank you. I’m very interested in building one of their laptops at some point :)
