    The emotional part of me yells “shut up and take my money”, but the rational part of me tells me that it will be another useless piece of junk on my shelf

      Touchscreens have their place (and are overused in places like cars, to be sure) but their emergence combined with a minimalist trend sure has made things boring.

    This looks like a copy paste from clockwork with their DevTerm and uConsole. I have a uConsole and really like it. Despite that it had a small year needed to ship it. It is now running stock Debian Bookworm and the community is growing. Its running on a CM4 and CM5 is almost done as well thanks to a very active community user. Software support is shit, but the hardware and software are open source so there are already a couple. Of expansion boards (4G, GPIO, USB hub, Pico2040, and GPS/LoRa in the making)

    I was looking for something just like this, A small, battery powered system with an integrated display. Started my search for a pi case but quickly realized an N100 x86 device with higher specs than a pi can be purchased for significantly cheaper. let’s just hope I can get Debian on it.
