The pi still seems useful:
- for teaching / learning
- for little servers
- for edge devices, limited by your imagination
If you can hook them to two or three Ethernet ports, they can make an excellent, very frugal router/firewall.
I think now they're also good enough to use as MythTV encoders and decoders.

I tried both the pi v3 and v4 at running mythtv frontends (i.e your decoders) and were unhappy with the performance. I use them instead in a few places around the home hosting our music collection mounted via NFS over wired/wireless, and played by MPD. They work great for that. I use the android mpdroid or malp apps to browse the collection on each mpd instance and play music. -- Michael Galea
