Hey, I have one of those!

Oh it’s a real thing. The frame seemed older than the 80s

Oh, "the late twentieth century" as someone said to me recently? It was eons ago.

Or "the 1900s," which is even more painful

But can it run Doom?

That keyboard looks painful to use...

What kind of GPU is in there?

The stamp in the top right is the entire removable motherboard. I put my cardputer on a shelf when it got here and I haven’t gotten around to it yet. M5 stack is pretty cool, and I wish I understood it more.

It was actually a joke but is it an actual usable computer? What can it do?

[–] awesomesauce309@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

I think it’s mostly for prototyping your own programs, which I haven’t tried yet. It comes with a wifi ssid snooper, and a like greeting card voice recorder/replayer. It’s credit card size, half inch thick. The back half is a removable battery expansion. The stamp has a usb c for data/charging. There’s WiFi, infrared blaster, sd card slot, expansion ports for other sensors. It’s nifty for sure, maybe someday I’ll find a use for it too.
