So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers?

A community for the discussion of all single board computers. Raspberry Pi is ok, but there are so many other boards now that get looked over that deserve attention.
Post news, questions, your setups, guides, anything that has to do with SBCs. Server wide rules apply
Have their performance suddenly dropped like crazy?
Can you no longer use them for the purpose for which you got them?
If no, then why bin them?
Two years ago, my dad and me set up a new project with a raspberry pi zero w, it is a water temperature meter to report the water temp at a swimming hole my dad enjoy.
The Pi has a DS18B20 temperature sensor and is powered by a motorcycle battery through a timer, every half hour the timer turns on the Pi, it boots Raspbian, runs a bash script that grabs the temperature value, sanitizes the data, checks it for errors, sends it to a webpage, waits 30 sec, and then shuts down the pi.
Just because there are more powerful options doesn't make your existing devices less powerful.
But... the internet says they are not cool anymore. So your argument is invalid!
Ah, how silly of me!
OP, just throw the devices in the gutter, and don't feel bad, it is trickle down economics, your SBCs are trickling down to the less fortunate!
Big Intel got to you too? The ARM-sistence will live forever! ^(or at least until RISC-V becomes viable)
Sounds like a neat project! Does the Pi have an lte modem?
There are modules ypu can use, but we didn't need to as we could borrow a neighbours wifi that reached the spot.
So LTE would only add power use and paperwork for us, but ypu can get lte modems for radpberry pis
