Ads are not desired on hacker news. At least put some content around your advertisment that enables people to learn something new.
And what's the difference between this and all the other small linux machines that you can buy, like raspberry pies? From the landing page it looks like the developers don't even know that these kind of computers exist since more than 5 years now.
- blfr 11y agoRasp is explicitly mentioned in the OP. Why don't I just use a Raspberry Pi? The Raspberry Pi is a fantastic product, but it is built with an emphasis on education and 'home hacking'. It lacks certain features found in the Ocean. Raspberry Pis do not have built-in Bluetooth or Wifi, and do not come with an on-board power source. While you can purchase cases for them, these cases are rarely designed with portability in mind. Exposed GPIO pins tend to bend in your pocket. A Raspi can be augmented with additional hardware to equal the feature set of the Ocean, but this hardware will compromise the portability of the Pi.
- haswell 11y agoHard to misconstrue this as an ad when it's not even possible to purchase the product right now.
- erikb 11y agoThen I'm happy to tell you that all three slots on the linked page (which is a sales page) are sold out now. Last time I checked it was only the first slot.
