Behold the $350 Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB RAM, because apparently, the world needed a DIY computer that costs as much as a discount laptop 💸🤦‍♂️. #Adafruit wants you to believe it’s "unique" and "fun," but we all know it's just a glorified excuse to hoard more useless cables and kits that you'll never use 🔌📦.

The KIM-1, short for Keyboard Input Monitor, is a small 6502-based single-board computer developed and produced by MOS Technology, Inc. and launched in 1976.

Predictably and wonderfully, we can build one ourselves.
