Enjoy your vintage computers properly, preferably while touching grass. Well, not much grass here, just a pile of rotten sticks 😒

@m0xee up to this day I regret not bying this armbook when it was around. I think it was just something like 8-10k₽ 10 or so years go.

@nm0i Yeah, it was something like 9600 for the most expensive model, complete with 3G-modem and 32 Gb storage — that's the one I have. There was an even cheaper one. I think I've seen someone own one with 1 Gb RAM, but I'm pretty sure it's some unofficial mod and I'm not good with soldering 😄
TBH I've never used it — my mom took it from me the moment she's seen it and she had been using it with Ubuntu till it became unusable and I've got an iPad for her.

@nm0i So I've never used it myself until I came up with idea of reviving it a couple of months ago and took it back from her.
Processor in this SOC doesn't support VFPv3, only a subset of it so I had to rebuild Void for it from scratch — and it's a great machine now for TUI apps I use, even with its battery having only half of original capacity, I can get over 3 hours of juice out of it. Maybe I'll replace the battery and display with a higher resolution one, backlight is a bit flaky.
