Everyone is talking about the genius who made a computer the size of a credit card
An innovative Reddit user has managed to create a fully functional computer that is literally the size and thickness of a regular credit card. Unlike devices like the Raspberry Pi, which only match these dimensions in length and width, this prototype is only one millimeter thick. This means this miniature device can finally fit into any standard wallet without any issues.
