Yeah, it's really striking how hard it is to decipher what the product is here. Presumably there's a community somewhere that's been following the development of whatever OS or piece of single function hardware it is.

I can see the value of creating coolness through authenticity, anti-marketing and 'low-fi' design - but if you literally can't find an explanation as to whats on sale it's probably gone too far.

Scrolling back to the first entry on the blog, it appears to be a small form board running BSD on ARM. Not sure how that qualifies as a new kind of computer...

It really becomes self defeating when this is your target market. If I can't tell what it is, why would I earmark money for it in the future?

You could use AI to...Find what it is :-)
