Is there any cool cheap piece of technology that isn't really

I like pocket radios

It goes by a variety of generic and proprietary names, but it's basically an electrically driven active window frosting. Stuff goes either clear or translucent depending on power input.

It comes rather close to your budget to do even a single window, but I think it's a pretty cool piece of tech. See if you can get it on the cheap from China.

Other anon but interested - is it a film that you apply onto your window, some sort of coating you put on it and then attach wires to directly, or what am I supposed to imagine here?

The brand "Smart Tint" will lead you to a manufacturer's product pages, but it's a film with either an adhesive side or meant to be taped by its edges to a window. Yes, it's then driven by a power source with some kind of on/off control.

Any RasPi ripoff

Heck, even the Pi itself, depending on what you define as "mainstream"

Build your own pocket PC and make it look as hipster as you can. Install Gentoo and rice it to look like Windows95.

Thanks for this, will be looking into it just because this kind of shit fascinates me even if I don't end up getting it for myself.

are rechargeable pocket radios a thing?

What is that mini-laptop on the far left, second from the top?

Basically this, yeah, that's what I had in mind. It's pretty easily doable for under $200 (even if you get a more expensive board to be able to run a sane GUI web browser and maybe even a touch screen), and you have full control over how it actually looks and works so you can make it as un-mainstream as you want. Swivel PC?

I think so. Probably more expensive than the ones that take batteries. Mine takes two double A's and i haven't replaced them since christmas time. Just use it on the bus to see why traffic is held up or if the power goes out for entertainment. Rechargable ones are still probably pretty cheap. Been thinking of upgrading to a cassette/radio player.

Even if they aren't, the following items are things:
>pocket radio
>LiPo/Ion pack
>recharge/boost board
>soldering iron

That's literally all you'd need.

Are you from the 1970's? How do YOU know how to use a computer, let alone post on an Argentinian cattle-roping board?
