What is the use case of such trash devices? What do you learn or gain from ""building"" one?
>>109637578The feeling of accomplishment, just like writing a working program. You look at it, and you say, "I made it". You poured your skill and accumulated knowledge into it. This is the result of your labors. Be proud.
>>109637578Because why not? A lot of our society is superfluous conSOOOOOOM bullshit.
>>109637578>Why make things Really?
>>109637578This is the ultimate expression of a tinker tranny. Where you spend hours reinventing the wheel to gain the approval of other tinker trannies. A computer as an elaborate toy. Like one of those child computer toys with the big buttons and lights flash it makes a funny sound and the toddler laughs and claps. Both the tinker tranny and the toddler have accomplished the same thing. Except one day the toddler will grow up and want to use a computer to accomplish tasks like an adult. The tinker tranny never reaches this stage.

>>109637578Fuck off CIA doomer.
>>109637578>mindraped zoomers can't comprehend the concept of a hobby or learning something because they're taught by influencers to focus only on profit
>>10963757816/9, yuck, no use case indeed.
PicoCalc exists and looks better.
>>109637793let's be honest here, if the guy sold those online he would ask for $899 a pop, overpriced just like any freetard meme gadget made by 'proud socialists' who suddenly sniffed a quick cash grab
>>109637578they're for LARPing, it's like macfag shit but macs became mainstream
>>109638077Actually more like $1666: https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-pocket-reformCould be useful for a field technician i guess but 7" is pretty smol
making things is fun
>Pi Zero 2 WNo no, OP is right. Those are barely any better than an Arduino. What's the point of making a mini-PC on such a weak SBC?
>>109637578it's the same mental illness as someone who buys all the latest tech but doesn't do anything with it more than watching youtubethey want to appear high tech (or re: cyberdecks: like a 1337 80's hacker) but they're retarded so all they can do is consume the aesthetic.
>>109639351It's essentially a modern palm pilot. You don't have ram for anything in X11 but you can run vim, ssh, git, email etc locally which is kind of nice.It's sort of like a mindful portable computing environment, almost the opposite of what you can do with phones.
>>109637578>nocoders, techlets and of course jeets ITT bashing this guy for tinkering aroundwhat you stupid fags should actually be bashing is him being a filthy redditor. more importantly, OP is an even bigger fag(shocking, I know) for reposting a reddit post.
>>109640498The one I built is really cool, I hooked it up to some of those AR glasses. It's got a tiny enclosure and one 18650 cell. It only gets one hour of battery though :/ I think the display setup actually draws more power than the computer.
>>109637602>>109637619>>109637652>he thinks consooming a $100 product, plugging it into a tiny display he bought on aliexpress, and 3d printing a case counts as "making" something
>>109640541>if you pay for things to make something out of those things it's badSmartest frog poster.
>>109637578It's a computer that fits in your pocket how cool is that
>>109640559>>109640559>It's a computer that fits in your pocket how cool is that
>>109637578It serves the same function as model airplanes.
>>109640541>He thinks he's a programmer because he coded fizzbuzz.
>>109637578what do you gain from making a nice meal if u will just shit it out ur ass later? just eat poo like your indian co-workers and your indian ceo does.
>>109640541they never grew up from the>if i assemble this lego then clueless adults will be impressed era.kinda sad. i bet they think they are some sort of engineers.
>>109637578>>109640581these things are an artifact of growing up wanting a cool cyberdeck but then by the time they can make them no one wants them. a cool pic for a project blog then it will sit unused forever
>>109639340We don't use the F word here
