There is also a lawnmower mod for doom that you could then run on the lawnmower

This is a power product manufacturer. I'm sure at some point they considered porting this to an actual chainsaw; the lack of screen must have been a blocker. I guess a lawnmower is the next best thing they could come up with.
With the advent of good battery chainsaws we’re only a few years away from one having a diagnostics screen, and which point doom on a chainsaw will be possible.
