Ledger’s fifth Nano, retailing at a curiously $179 price tag, has abandoned its USB stick roots to become a baby iPod wannabe with a crisper, but flavor-budget E Ink screen across a giant-three-inch display. Calling it a 'signer' because ‘crypto wallet’ apparently lost street cred, this device aims to verify identities without eyeball or government ID scans—thankfully sparing your retina from Sam Altman’s Orb invasions. Plus, Ledger co-opted Mac icon legend Susan Kare to design metal badges costing $20 for a trio, including quirky Spurs basketball editions—because nothing screams secure authentication like dunk-themed hardware bling. Crypto bros may sweat it out while future AI plane ticket-buying fantasies await, though $179 to skip Discord’s ID parade smells like a gamble rivaling your weakest altcoin.
