Readers might be interested in this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006647598296.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006647598296.html never used it, but am considering getting it to lay on top of my laptop screen for outdoor coding. One of the reviewers seems to suggest it is made out of the CPU etc from an old bitcoin miner which is no longer economic to run, but with an extra circuit board added, which is a neat way to get value out of old electronics!

    Quite possible in many cases as some sellers monitor well known places for links and raise their prices as soon as there's interest, but it doesn't seem the case here as I still see the same prices. Have you clicked to the actual board? Asking because many prices aren't unrelated to the photo returned by a search and point to either a much cheaper product sold either bundled or alone (a programming cable for example) or a more pricey complete kit. This is what misled me to the €10 initial price because I saw the main board while if memory serves the actual product was a smaller accessory card. By the way, I still see it around €30 plus 3 to 10 shipping on Ebay from several sellers in China. not publishing links for the above reasons.
