    I have absolutely no use for something like that. But I’ll probably end up buying one anyway, provided the final price is still reasonable.

    Last Linux Kickstarter I bought was 4 years ago and I never got it. Not getting scammed again

      Alright, so you’re not in the market for Linux products. That’s fine. Do you happen to be looking to buy a bridge? Who’s your bridge guy?

      Depends on how well it’s executed. It would be all too easy for a device like this to end up fatally flawed to the point where it’s not actually useful. (I’ve seen some real stinkers that looked great in the crowdfunding campaign.)

    Reminded me slightly of another project about to seek funding, the Raspberry Pi 5 powered Pilet.

    Thats actually pretty cool, they say they are going to make the the files to build your own extensions open source so i wonder if more complex controllers can be attached, stuff like twin sticks and such for better emulation compatibility, i dont know tho how the specs are for emulation

    Seems to be a decent amount of hardware for the price.

    I’m guessing it will ship 8 years from now and suck

    I wonder how well I’d get by with one of these if it connected to my cellular provider’s network?

    Could just get a Pinephone with keyboard. Plus you get a cellular modem.

    reminds me of the M5 Stack, but with a much more portability friendly profile
