Portable Envy is a brand of electronic devices which offload the emotion of envy (nonfiction) from the user's mind to remote storage for later upload.

History

Early versions of portable envy exploited vulnerable components on substandard circuit board components, for example by exploiting components designed from faulty industrial espionage (see Capacitor plague (nonfiction)).

Subsequently, pirate manufacturers have released knock-off circuit boards with built-in portable envy features.

Portable envy devices are popular black-market items in many prisons, despite efforts by get-tough wardens (and, in some prisons, self-regulating prisoners) to forbid ownership or use of portable envy.
