I was looking at $400 modded iPod Classics this morning and my better judgement avoided a new member of the "neat projects" drawer.

The drawer that holds my Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and clones thereof is dangerously overpopulated as it is, but I think I've finally learned my lesson: Now I always have a cooling off period of hours after putting something in an online shopping cart before I click "buy" to see if my interest was just a passing one (usually the case).

Mausoleum sounds way more dignified than my junk drawers of half done projects!

If I had a 3D printer I’d build this one for sure. Or the 3D printer would sit in my junk corner. One or the other.

my Pocket C.H.I.P. wants a friend

neat product but what a garbage company that was

it's cheaper than the flipper zero. Something i have found i mostly don't use apart from keeping a copy of my apartment card.

Nice. there's also a project [0] that uses the RP2040 to talk I2C and present it as USB HID, created in service of the beepberry [1]. Now that I think of it tho this could be made into a very miniature home theater PC remote, a la the Logitech DiNovo

Oh LOL I didn't even notice that on the first link, yeah I guess they're just obscuring it for the logo. IRL it is a non pixelated keyboard xD

FWIW the project hit a wall and they didn't deliver the quantity they planned on, I ended up buying one on ebay for an extortionate cost (but buying rare electronics scratches an itch for me) - digging in the discords lead to discover an offshoot project that made some progress at a recent chaos comms congress, called Beepis
