This Incredible $3 Business Card Runs Linux

Ahmar Wolf

YES, you read this right, it is both a business card and a PC.

Taken straight from Forbes no less, so you know this is not fake, LINK

There are many ways to leave a lasting impression through a cleverly designed business card, but nothing screams “now this is unique” quite like a business card that doubles as a stripped-down ARM computer running Linux. That’s precisely what Embedded Systems Engineer George Hilliard has built, and with a total cost that’s surprisingly affordable.

This impressive business card is powered by an AllWinner ARM9 processor called the F1C100s (a rather ancient piece of tech primarily used in dashcams), which Hilliard says can be purchased for as low as $0.90 in bulk, or about $1.20 per piece. The finished product packs in a USB port that can be plugged in to access the card’s shell, and the included writable flash drive stores Hilliard’s résumé, photography highlights, a README file, and even a handful of classic Unix games like 2048.

The rest of the article is on Forbes, but really folks this one blew me away.

Will Furries Ever Go Mainstream?

Ahmar Wolf

AKA The Rolling Stones article One reason why I waited to post this article was because of the word used in the title “Mainstream” A lot of people read that and assumed the who article was about how “Will Furries Actually Would Go Mainstream”. Which frankly it doesn’t even talk about, in fact, the entire article is about MFF 2019 and all the internet threats, furry YouTubers and etc, in other words, try to explain what MFF is and why it draws so many and not overlooking it faults, although they didn’t get into why some parts opened late.

They go into that Milo Y nonsense and why they might have backed down from all their threats. The article does point out that MFF is fun and why it draws so many. I swear after all these threats MFF 2020 is going to be BIGGER.

Usually, I would post snippets from the article. But really I have talked about the same points on this site during my MFF 2019 coverage.

But instead, read the article HERE

Now I will address the whole mainstream issue. It depends on your version of the mainstream? MFF and other fur cons are just as mainstream as any comic book, anime or any other type of con you can think of. Companies like Disney and Converse have marketed directed to furries and I know I am not the only 1 who thinks film, TV, and streaming services market directly to us furries. The 2 biggest examples Bojack Horseman and Disney +. Do I really have to explain it? Disney + is not out there because of nostalgia, it’s because Disney has so many things that are anthro the biggest example of these are Robin Hood and Zootopia that draws people to that service. I would not be surprised to learn that a majority of subscribers are furry. I have seen many a post from a furry subscriber.

I know some will disagree with me but to me furries are mainstream.
