What does this thing do?

Simply put... its a computer. It runs linux and does whatever you tell it to do. Its small, not fast, has little memory, but makes a great dedicated computer. I have two... one is a file server (NAS) and the other is a DMX lighting controller.

It's a small Linux OS running on a small card. It has limited memory. To use it, you have to connect it to a screen like a regular computer (or connect via the network etc...). But better use some LCD screens specially made for the Raspberry Pi. If you wait for the version 2 coming soon on Amazon, faster and with 1 GB of RAM, you can even run a lightly featured Windows 10. Personally I prefer the Linux version. It can do many many things - but if you are all but a geek, maybe better buy a regular computer/laptop where everything has already been setup for you.

If you don't know, then you don't need it. Google is your friend, my friend. :O) I use mine to drive NOC screens for work. With another one, I built a thermometer with a USB thermistor to monitor our baby room temperature. Sends a text message, and a notification popup on our openelec/xbmc HTPC box if the crib temp swings beyond a set threshold. Nifty.

I'm not sure what exactly you're talking about. What function does this switch perform?

I'm not sure what that is. Where would I be able to find where it is on my computer?

Sorry, I helped my colleague to buy this machine, so I don't know much about its functions.

I wouldn't know what that is. I basically bought it because I needed to weigh stuff in lbs & do the dollar calculations. Nothing more.

It's a water hardness meter. It tells you how much total 'stuff' is in your water.

Daryl S., Hi!I apologize, but I bought this item and I have not used it yet. Still sealed in the box so I could not tell you all its functions. I wish I could help.

I don't know anything about this. I bought it for a Christmas present for my husband.

Ya, I also received this tool. I have no idea what is this for. If you found out by now, could you please let me know?

Tell me what you are expecting it to do and I will tell you if it does that or not.

I'm not sure what your question is. Mine did not do this so maybe you got a defective one; sorry.

"This thing" is essentially an expansion/junction box: a cable from one port -- such as that from your modem -- into this will result in an increase in the number of ports. If at present you can connect, as example, only one computer to your modem, you would be able to connect that computer plus additional computers (depending on the number of ports on the switch).

I am not too sure what the trick is either! This thing sucks. One of the worst purchases I've ever made. It barley moved, a turtle can go faster than this thing can. Complete waste of money!

sorry I can't help you as I gave this as a gift so I don't really know the workings of this product.
