Hi.

Here’s what the beauty looked like: Image

Yep, I went down the rabbit hole all day yesterday. Decided that we have better, cheaper alternatives by just buying and hacking an older laptop.

It really was a fantastic idea, always hoped it would catch on but alas, the Chromebook took over in education spaces thanks to subsidies from Google for the data collection.
Yep. I do wish they would revisit the whole “water-resistant, rubber/plastic thought as a tonka truck, drop resistant, hand crank to charge up” ideas though!

I feel all powerful. If I could only get the volume to work…

Working on that to see if I can get it to work.

Oh, I’ll look that one up, because I’m not familiar with it. Thanks!

Yeah, and I appreciate the goals it had, and even tho if failed, they tried. I am using mine and trying to figure out to post on Lemmy with it, but the browser is old and doesn’t do https sites, but if I can figure it out, I wanna use it for my lemmy machine. lol

Oh, definitely giving it a watch. Thank you!

Fun concept tho. Especially in 2005:
In late 2005, tech visionary and MIT Media Lab founder Nicholas Negroponte pulled the cloth cover off a small green computer with a bright yellow crank. The device was the first working prototype for Negroponte’s new nonprofit One Laptop Per Child, dubbed “the green machine” or simply “the $100 laptop.”
The $100 laptop would have all the features of an ordinary computer but require so little electricity that a child could power it with a hand crank. It would be rugged enough for children to use anywhere, instead of being limited to schools.
A Linux-based operating system would give kids total access to the computer — OLPC had reportedly turned down an offer of free Mac OS X licenses from Steve Jobs.

It just so happens I have one of the first ones from 2005. Fired it up as I read this article, and it still works: Image

You laugh because you think you’re untouchable, not because what I said was wrong.
Again, please contribute articles to this community rather than hate. Thanks, friend!

What tricks? Advocating and voting for socialist causes and socialist candidates? Because I still do that. Check my post history. Lemmy is actually starting to warm up to the idea of third parties now, so I was right all along; I was just an early adopter.
This is a world news community, not a politics community. So your scapegoating for me and all things Socialist doesn’t really matter here and is off-topic. I’m posting world news to this world news community.
Hopefully you can post some articles here and help Lemmy content grow as well.
Thanks, friend!

I’ve always behaved. My entire post history is public. Most of the hate toward me started before the election, when I refused to vote for Biden, Harris, or Trump. I voted Socialist, and back then, that alone made people label me a troll.
Times have changed. Voting Socialist isn’t seen as nearly as “evil” as it was last year.
Probably because people finally realised it was non-voters, not third-party voters, who cost the election. Even if every third-party voter had backed Harris, she still would have lost.
I voted Socialist, proudly. I got banned and called a troll for it. Some people still won’t let it go. I’ll vote Socialist next election too. Proudly.

I’ve been active on this instance for a while now, so not sure what you’re trying to imply.
