Remarkable eink tablets. Buried deep in the settings they actually give you the root password so you can SSH in. Also, it comes with an epic .vimrc file.

https://github.com/reMarkable/linux At that, there are ways to hack it of course (Fairly certain it “ruins” some returns/warranty policies, but if you can in those cases, you can easily revert the modified bits if needed)
tl;dr : if you want to try to hack it safely, heads up to : https://remarkable.guide/
If you would like to run a pre-made Debian chroot on it. Saw other distros from other users https://github.com/Eeems-Org/remarkable-debian-chroot
If you would like to use (Not fully replace for stability/recovery concerns) another launcher which is MIT licensed https://github.com/Eeems-Org/oxide
You can install the “vanilla” (minus extra bits) kernel via Toltec https://toltec-dev.org/stable/#section-launchers
Aaaand, if you want to go the full libre way, there’s a port of parabola on it sold here http://www.davisr.me/projects/parabola-rm/ Article here https://hackaday.com/2020/09/06/a-free-software-os-for-the-remarkable-e-paper-tablet/

Yeah, I’ve made a custom lock screen picture and uploaded it. I unfortunately have to redo it every update.
Also what is a .vimrc file?
- everett ( @everett@lemmy.ml ) 3•9 months ago
Settings/customizations file for legendary text editor vim. Remarkable’s comes with a lot of stuff built-in.

Robot vacuums. Some of them you can root and install the opensource Valetudo.

Parrot’s older consumer drones. They took really long to power up, and ran very hot.
I believe you could telnet into them too, although that was later discovered to be a bug and not a feature

I was product manager at a company that made PTZ cameras based on Linux. The company was acquired a few times but still actually manufactures them in Minnetonka MN. Kind of fun working at a place the had development, manufacturing, support and engineering in one building.

How do you rate these cameras against the competition?
- rodbiren ( @rodbiren@midwest.social ) English3•9 months ago
Well, it turns out only a handful of companies actually make image modules. I would say it is better in terms of US based support, firmware, hardware design, and the fact it meets TAA and buy America compliance. I’ve seen these cameras in the DoD and even in the oval office. If you want a camera that is absolutely not spying on you I can vouch for these because I have watched the firmware get built on these.
