Okay, so this is not a peripheral that you connect to your computer to run specialized tasks, this is a full computer running Linux.

It's a garden hermit. Imagine a future where everyone has one of those(not exactly this version but some future version), it lives with you it learns with you and unlike the cloud based SaaS AI you can teach it things immediately and diverge from the average to your advantage.

"garden hermit" is a very interesting and evocative phrase. Where is that from?

It's a real thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_hermit

In the past, in Europe, some wealthy people used to look after of a scholar living on their premises so they can ask them questions etc.

This is so strange, my girlfriend was just telling me about those yesterday. The word “ornamental hermit” fills me with about as much disgust as I can experience.

> Later, suggestions of hermits were replaced with actual hermits – men hired for the sole purpose of inhabiting a small structure and functioning as any other garden ornament.
