      Or antenna headers. And don’t tell me I can just DIY scratch up the PCB and make a solder point 1mm in diameter between two other circuits I’m not supposed to touch.

          Same reason as any other mini PC.

          GPIO.

          Honestly there is no other reason to use pi. Just the simple ability ti connect and build your own connection stuff.

          Pi is by far the easiest system with a well suppirted os and api for learning\experimentation.

          When to comes to using as a desktop etc. There are loads of better options if gpio is not wanted.

        The comment was about the 500, which currently has non-working M2, as a money grab apparently.
