Noooo! Don't show me stuff like this!! I have so many unfinished projects lying around already, I can't possibly start another one

This looks remarkably close to something I wrote a blog post about years ago as "it'd be neat if this existed." How does it feel in practice?

I saw that float around on the web the other day! Looks like it could be an amusing project. I assume it's a Raspberry Pi, a mechanical USB keyboard and a random e-ink display cobbled together. Kind of neat, though!

This goes to show how shitty computers are these days. People are turning back to “typewriters” because they can’t stand to use a computer.
