Wow, this is such a cool hack. Taking a Casio F-91W—literally the indestructible watch—and giving it a microcontroller brain while keeping that retro LCD? Pure genius. The pluggable sensor module (starting with a thermometer!) is what sold me. Now I’m daydreaming about slapping on an air quality sensor, an NFC chip, or… honestly, why not a tiny radiation detector?
But flashing firmware via USB on a Casio? That’s the kind of absurdly cool detail that makes me love hardware tinkering. It’s like giving your grandpa’s old pickup truck a Tesla battery but keeping the patina.
Not passing any judgement on this specific comment, but I've seen a fair bit of what you describe in other comment threads on HN as of late, and I can't help but wonder — why? I get that some people bot on Reddit because you can sell the accounts to spammers and such later, but here? I just don't get why anyone would do it on HN, but it's definitely a thing.
Shameless plug: I've built a web app which allows you to stream PC games/software to Vision Pro using webRTC without any restriction. https://windowsvisionpro.com
We're actively working on developing the ability for users to upload floor plans and have our system generate realistic renders. This feature is definitely part of our vision for the future of ReRender AI. Stay tuned for updates as we make progress in this direction!
ReRender AI focuses on rendering, not sustainable design features. Architects must incorporate sustainability themselves. However, the AI can visually represent a passive solar high-rise if provided with the necessary design elements.

Huge props for keeping it open and hackable.
