Welp, that’s enough dystopian reality for me today. I was actually hoping to have these for repairability and easier chip identification, but nope, built for prisons you say…
Yeah. They are often very locked down and lack features you would normally expect - especially connectivity and configurability.
There’s a Youtube vid where a guy gets hold of one and the hoops he had to go through to install his own OS and get it to run some games… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRoRPiDOtUg
I love the idea that a product was created to prevent prisoners from smuggling heroin, but then someone said “You know, I bet that would sell great at Sharper Image.”
Fun fact: some of these are made specifically for US prisons because you can’t hide contraband in them.
