Personally I didn’t think the pregnancy test one really counted, either, but I’m with you on this one. This isn’t just “I put Doom on a sex toy,” but “I put Doom on a sex toy and used game events to trigger its functionality,” which is a level above.
Also looking at the pregnancy test one now I might change my mind. They did use a different microcontroller and screen, but the pregnancy test already had a microcontroller inside it; it just wasn’t programmable. If the replacement microcontroller and screen had the same specs as the old one, it’s more than fair to call that a win IMO. At that point, it’s the same hardware, after all.
Except the original pregnancy test screen would have been something like a 2 or 3 segment LCD. They don't need to display anything but yes or no.
Ah, good point. Apparently it shows 4 different things: https://twitter.com/foone/status/1301718864573554689
Yeah I haven't seen the pregnancy test one, can't really claim it's the test running it when it's not. Definitely agree with your point as well.
