Dude, maybe it was meant to be a joke, but that doom picture is so fake. C'mon.

His point still stands as the image in the thumbnail is as fake as it gets.
Hehe, thumbnail.
Ironically the fakeness is covering a thumbnail.
Well doom can run on a freaking pregnancy test. At that point if it had any kind of processor and a screen, it can run Doom.
I'm pretty sure that story was faked by putting a separate display in the shell of a pregnancy test. They don't even have real displays usually, let alone a full reprogrammable microcontroller
it wasn't faked, but it was very much a ship.of Theseus pregnancy test. They replaced the microcontroller with one they could program (it might have been the reprogrammable version of the same microcontroller. And the screen was replaced.
So it was faked. The ship of Theseus was still a ship with the same capabilities at the end. They didn't add an engine to it.
Some pregnancy test have a small LCD screen
