Crappy photoshop, show me the real thing!
Lame, come back when it’s running doom
This device is totally capable of running Minecraft, assuming it’s an older version.
It contains one of two computers.
The older computer was manufactured around '07, has a dual core processor, and may have up to 2g of ddr2.
The newer version I believe was manufactured around 2012 and has a 4 core processor with up to 8 gigs of ddr3.
Both are capable of running Windows, but I wouldn’t put 10 on the older one.
It would be rad af if you could not only run Doom off of one of these, but also somehow get the scanner part to use it’s laser to make one of those holographic keyboards to actually play Doom on it without any external devices.
Considering those scanners usually register as keyboards and just do a dumb input “typing” it shouldn’t even be hard, lol.
The worst part would probably be picking a barcode scheme where the inputs make sense…
DOOM: Am I nothing to you?
There’s insufficient surge or Mtn Dew in this picture, it’s got to be a photoshop.

Shit, at this rate we’re months away from being able to play Doom on Amazon product pages (fun fact, you can totally use the AI prompts like it’s chatGPT and ask for python code, lmao)

Have you tried that fun fact? I know there was a meme claiming it, but I have never found any evidence of it actually being true, nor did I manage to replicate it on Amazon.

I did actually, and it worked, though they may have changed it by now.
Think I have a screenshot somewhere…
