I love this. I’m thinking of making another partition on my laptop so I can have a separate OS with no desktop environment. Reclaiming my attention span has kind of been a project for me this year. I was casually exploring how to make a setup like this with an e-ink screen, but e-ink displays are more expensive that I was hoping.
It’s using a Raspberry Pi Pico, not a full Raspberry Pi. The Pico is a microcontroller designed for this kind of use. It basically just runs a single program, written in C or Python. It does not run full-blown Linux in addition to that program.
It does, although they could be using it sarcastically in this case.
I believe they were called “candy dishes” at the time.
Just saying “esports competitor” (and then “competitor” thereafter) always sounded like a completely reasonable description to me. Not calling them an athlete, while also not belittling their skill or accomplishments.
I hadn’t heard of this one before, but it apparently got great reviews at Sundance.
