Those things are ancient, too. It’s annoying that there are no tiny cheap Linux SBC’s like that, which you can straightforwardly buy.

But there are Wifi plugs you can command via network address.
Tasmota ones, but the esp32(?) was already mentioned. It’s in the greeni wifi plugs, if I recall, and so many others.
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
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

Follow the videos, the original developer shows what it can do, but it’s basically running keylogger software.
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?
https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32
Us hobbyists have been playing with it for years. Dual core too.
Well tbf it’s just a microcontroller, it doesn’t run Linux
Nope, it runs FreeRTOS, but it’s still cool that I can build an internet-connected smart device in a package the size of your big toe nail using open software.
Yep, I go for it for almost every project I do, also because of the price. The amount of features you get for like 5 or 6 dollars is crazy.
MCUs can run Linux.
I don’t use Espriff products so no idea if it is available for the ESP32.
