    no practical purpose beyond a built-in clock and a temperature sensor

    So it serves two purposes beyond the collectible factor? Great observation.

      This is such a weird article. It seems to be utterly bewildered by the idea of a simple toy like this that has existed for centuries, like it’s a revolutionary concept that something doesn’t have AI integration or whatever marketing buzzword is apparently necessary to enjoy anything. It’s baffling.

      And yes, $35 seems a bit steep for this sort of thing, but I’m just blown away by how noteworthy the author thinks this nothing is.
