A system for reading the computer’s information and transferring that data to a blockchain for safekeeping has yet to be perfected.

I'm sure the NSA has a program that is working on this right now...looking forward to the day when everyone gets one implanted. Could this be why the Gubmint is pushing flu shots for everyone?

To download data to a desktop you’ll need a chord with a tiny plug on one end and a normal size plug on the other end.

To see a world in a grain of sand,

And heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

and eternity in an hour.

.

Red Badger unplugged!

Throw 'em all away!

Live like a free man again!! .

.

Don't look at me lol.

Is that a fine grain, or a course grain?

Typing on the tiny keyboard is a b*tch, though.

It uses Ultra Small Bits, so the port is no longer needed.

As powerful as an x86 processing chip dating from 1990, the tiny computer won’t help NASA put astronauts on Mars anytime soon. But it has enough computational and communicative power to interact with systems tracking it.

It sounds like a broad definition of computer as most people would think of computer.

It's more like a 'smart' electronic programmable tracking barcode.

It has a place and function in business.

Aren't these more or else equivalent to chips you implant in pets?

How well will Lotus Notes run on it?

What about printer drivers?

It runs ok if you compact the replica and update the index!

Nevertheless, the really tiny USB connector is pretty tough.

Interesting development. Now it’s up to someone to come up with groundbreaking way of using it. You could be the next computer genius.
