I have hardware out in the field deployed at breweries/pubs that have died over time and needed replacements. my own stock of pi3's is now depleted, and I've been looking for replacements daily.

What do you use them for, if you don’t mind me asking?

lighting and displays - the pi's work well because they have decent GPIO support and were easy and cheap to acquire when the original hardware was built.

they are overpowered for what they're doing, but usually rock solid for years at a time.
