Transcend Wifi SD Card Is A Tiny Linux Server
[jamesone111] bought a Transcend WifiSD card, presumably for photography, but it may just have been because he heard that they’re actually tiny Linux servers. He read a post about these cards…
Transcend Wifi SD Card
IsWas A Tiny Linux Server.8 years ago, this article is from 2016. I wonder what progress was made if any, both security wise and performance wise.
It's come quite a way... O.MG Cable
Just a cable... complete with wifi man-in-the-middle abilities
Those things are ancient, too. It's annoying that there are no tiny cheap Linux SBC's like that, which you can straightforwardly buy.
What I really want is an iPhone charger shaped Linux server that plugs into the wall and has a usb port on it and WiFi. Then I can use it to make any usb device programmable. Printer, webcam, hard drive, monitor, touchscreen, whatever.
Someone posted this further up I remember when they came out but I don't know much about them
Luckfox Pico Mini might be you're looking for. It's a Linux SBC that costs around 10 USD, in a Teensy/Raspberry Pico or even smaller formfactor.
Good to know about, thanks. The wifi version is bigger but the non wifi version is still interesting.
What about this one? https://vocore.io/
True, I remember those, didn't realize they were still around. At that point I'd just as soon use a pi zero though.
I mean, there's the Transcend SD's...
Along the same lines as the Transcend card is Blue SCSI which is a little raspberry pi based SSD for vintage Macs that lets you FTP into the drive from a modern machine for file transfer.
@solrize I've seen CF wifi cards too heh
I had the FlashAir which is more or less the same thing. Loved it. Used it for quickly retrieving underwater photography without unsealing the camera as well as backing up dashcams, security cameras, and other such quality of life, never have to touch it kind of applications. I would totally buy more if they come back in fashion. Micro SD is probably impossible, but a girl can dream, can't he?
Completely crazy. There are many flash devices with a controller on it, so a small computer, but that this thing has wifi is completely mind boggling.
Don’t forget that every recent Intel CPU contains an extra 486-based system on a chip running a stripped-down version of Minix (a predecessor of Linux), to implement the remote management engine.
May I present the ESP32?

Us hobbyists have been playing with it for years. Dual core too.
