Have you tried that fun fact? I know there was a meme claiming it, but I have never found any evidence of it actually being true, nor did I manage to replicate it on Amazon.
I did actually, and it worked, though they may have changed it by now.
Think I have a screenshot somewhere…
Edit: they’ve definitely altered the way it works. I’m sure there’s a way to get around whatever guardrails they added with enough creativity, unless they’ve completely rebuilt the model and removed any programming training data.
It would be rad af if you could not only run Doom off of one of these (because they already run on Windows so it’s probably easy as hell to run Doom on it), but also somehow get the scanner part to use its laser to make one of those holographic keyboards to actually play Doom on it without any external devices.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

Shit, at this rate we’re months away from being able to play Doom on Amazon product pages (fun fact, you can totally use the AI prompts like it’s chatGPT and ask for python code, lmao)

Crappy photoshop, show me the real thing!
If it doesn’t yell at me about unexpected creepers in my house area, I’m going to be VERY disappointed.

This device is totally capable of running Minecraft, assuming it’s an older version.
It contains one of two computers.
The older computer was manufactured around '07, has a dual core processor, and may have up to 2g of ddr2.
The newer version I believe was manufactured around 2012 and has a 4 core processor with up to 8 gigs of ddr3.
Both are capable of running Windows, but I wouldn’t put 10 on the older one.
Lame, come back when it’s running doom
There’s insufficient surge or Mtn Dew in this picture, it’s got to be a photoshop.
DOOM: Am I nothing to you?

Considering those scanners usually register as keyboards and just do a dumb input “typing” it shouldn’t even be hard, lol.
The worst part would probably be picking a barcode scheme where the inputs make sense…
