While it doesn’t quite run macOS, the little Lego computer does run software called Docker, which can do things like work as a clock or display images on the e-paper screen. And by using a service called resin.io, Hermanns is able to remotely update the software over Wi-Fi.

Hermanns has detailed the entire build process — which included designing the Lego case, wiring up the display, and solving all usual deadfalls and problems that come up in a build like this.
