Expanded the details; I know Tamagotchi hacking is a thing, but I'll leave it to someone who actually knows about it to decide whether it's worth mentioning in the page.  Also, "a list of millions of prime numbers" could just as well be called "a list of millions of prime numbers", which sounds much less important, but I couldn't think of a brief way to mention that.

  • a 0-day Tamagotchi exploit: sounds not very useful, unless modern Tamagotchis have internet connection
