        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 :)

          @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

                  @sdetweil @Bugsounet I will buy the rpib+. Have you guys developed a mirror of your own? Have you got any experience in this subject?

                    @DiogoSekeira yes, no glass yet. I have pi0, 3, 4, Jetson nano, odroid, Linux, Mac. 5-6 different systems running at once

                    I support the install and update scripts, see
                    https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

                    I have developed a few modules, and helped others.

                    I also watch the forums for folks having trouble
