        @Bugsounet I was aiming for a low budget, and i can get the RPI3B+ at 40 bucks, but the RPI4 at 70, so if the RPI3B+ could fulfill the necessities that I need then i would rather have that one.

              youtube without voice activating ??? not sure it’s possible, or so just on start the mirror but it’s ridiculus

              In all case, i think RPI3B+ can works for you :)
              @sdetweil ?

                @Bugsounet Yes i mean to use voice activation. If im not able to will just use buttons of some sort or a keyboard, wich is kind of lame. But right now im just looking at what model can fully satisfy my needs.

                    for voice using, you have to buy a USB Mic (eq 10$)

                    I use this
