gollark: Ah yes, that is an idea which exists alright.
gollark: <@!293066066605768714> further calculator ideas:- add a few hundred megabytes of RAM and use arbitrary-size integers, so you can properly do hyperoperations- if the user asks something difficult, just ask WolframAlpha for the answer- allow convenient customization to the user's needs via a bad hex editor which directly updates the firmware- built in speakers and maths→sound encoder- build lots of them and make them able to network with each other via cheap 2.4GHz radio thingies or ultrasound etc. for complex computations or just funlolz- upload good mathematician's brains to it so it can do proofs and whatnot- actually, just make a random theorem generator
gollark: Nonsense, it's easy to connect your Linux system as long as you have an internet connection available to download packages and drivers.
gollark: Anyway, I guess that makes linux safe from virii™.
gollark: Minesweeper?
