The 1k resistor just lets the device know there’s an MCU on that line. The device would then provide power on that pin before talking to it

I use it to play Settlers of Catan, Pictionary, Codenames, etc… several times a week with family.

It’s my only travel device and I use it to watch movies on planes.

I also use it for al my social media apps. Not having them on my phone has done wonders in reducing my screen time.

Edit: I almost forgot! I use it for podcast editing with Ferrite!

"The ELF support is in progress and is able to link large programs such as Clang or LLD itself. Unless your program depends on linker scripts, you can expect it to be linkable with LLD."

:( The one feature I need most for embedded development

Everything seems to be worded just right in case they don't deliver. From the FAQ: "As a contributor to this Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, you are supporting Airing’s intent to develop the world's first micro-CPAP device."

Also, all physical perks have the disclaimer: "Subject to FDA clearance and doctor’s prescription in the US and local regulation abroad."

From a financial perspective, I can't imagine getting the device certified in multiple countries is going to be cheap. Would they also be expected to check doctors prescriptions in various languages somehow before delivering?
