how about pocket computers with the power of a smartphone but the common sense usability of a goddamn graphing calculator? i’m sitting on a magic rectangle with more computing power than the apollo mission and it doesn’t even let me blink the LED without installing an app?? these things should legally have to come with a scripting environment.
the closest thing on android right now is an app called Termux, it simulates a linux scripting environment with several languages (including C, python, and javascript), and it can be programmed to do anything an app can do (including blink the LED).
but c’mon, that should be standard. also phones should come rooted.

As someone who never managed to work with a graphing calculator, you made me want this.
As someone who has used a graphing calculator in high school, uhhhhhh I must have been using a different brand because it was always a struggle.

Steam Deck is a step in the right direction but a bit too big
