This may be the most adorable computer we've ever seen
Nostalgia has been all the rage among electronics enthusiasts these days, from this Windows 98 "smartwatch" to Nokia's revamp of the classic 3310. But here's a nostalgic effort that goes above and beyond: Developer Janis Hermanns built a Wi-FI enabled LEGO Macintosh Classic that runs Docker on a Raspberry Pi Zero with an e-paper display.
Hermanns was playing with LEGOs with his son when they decided to build one of the first computers he remembered using, the Macintosh Classic. The project would be a birthday present for his friend. (He detailed every step of the process in a blog post here, so you, too, can build your own.)
The duo designed the project on LEGO designer, ordered an epaper display and some white LEGO bricks and connected them to a Raspberry Pi Zero. The result? This adorable mini Macintosh Classic replica.
The parts were around $160 in total; read the guide here if you want to try this at home.
