And I am taken to a place

Take up shelter in the base of my spine

So many things on that KS, the S&M clothed lady (who should definitely consider a bra fitting) with bowl cut fringe is competing with the Phil Moore MS Paint digital treatment.

At least they're thinking big numbers, ...

they've shipped some of their GIF cameras so i'm assuming this isn't a deliberate scam, but i'm really curious what part of the equation they've skipped to arrive at $9

like, can you skip FCC testing if you're just using a wifi/bluetooth chip? i don't see it mentioned anywhere on the page

i'm also sure graphics people will be thrilled to work around Mali bugs

they only thing they really skipped on is built in useful display technology, which is why adding a vga port doubles the cost practically, and hdmi support triples it.

the system on a chip they're using appears to be similar to other ones in those $20 chinese android phones, so the pricepoint seems entirely reasonable.

chip is an actual good use for kickstarter

it is a simple product with minimal supply chain issues
they already have a design and prototypes
they just need money and orders in hand to get volume pricing

also i think the funniest thing is that they have an actual half decent gpu in there, which stomps the revised rpi's performance since that still uses essentially the same gpu as the original rpi, whihc itself was a mid range smartphone from 2006's gpu with a h.264 decoder bolted on.

it's a pre certified module, so you have to do FCC (when volumes are big enough) but they just grab the report from the module and test the edges. wifi and btle are not too difficult outside of some edge cases (e.g. HD streaming video or something) because you're not blasting the radio 100%
