    Interesting I see the other version has WiFi. Kind of curious if these become ubiquitous enough just having one would make you seem like "a bad person".

    I suppose most people probably wouldn't know what this is.

    Anyway looks really cool

      I believe it won't look worse than owning an Raspberry Pi with antenna.

        Yeah at least this doesn't look as sinister as a bare board, looks like a gaming unit or something.

        I do like that aspect of it being like a "pet" hence the title but yeah.

      Looks awesome.

      The tamagotchi from my childhood had totally different body though

        Really cool, try presenting it as a pentesting tool perhaps, tamagotchi just reminds me of the game where you take care of a pet

          Regular attendees of CCC will know that tamagotchis are famous in the hacker community...

            This is for spontaneous pentesting on the go, when you don’t want to get a laptop.

              Just what every office poltergeist needs, adding to wish list.
