According to defectors, the Notel's multi-format support is used for evading detection of illegal media consumption: A North Korean disc can be placed in the device while a South Korean or foreign video is played from a USB drive or the SD card, which could be easily removed in case government inspectors arrive and check the device's temperature to see if it has been recently used, leaving the DVD disc as an alternative explanation.[8]

Communism seems fun.

I mean, yes, but I would guess this is more of an authoritarian thing.

I don't need one (yet) but I kind of want one. Seems like a lot of cool features on a fun little tech device.

Probably sold as “portable dvd player” still somewhat popular in Europe for kids.
