Temple OS or bust
Oh, now you’re talkin!
Terry would be proud of you right after telling me to make him a Kebab
I’m in tears, I’ve finally found the version of this toy I had as a kid.
Thank you so much for this shitpost, sincerely.
One person’s shit[post] is another one’s childhood 😘
If it’s like the older vtech educational toys it uses some z80 processor, so you won’t be able to run Linux but you can a few different hobbyist microcomputer operating systems like zeal8bit and fuzix.
Man, I had a vtech “computer” as a kid in the later 90’s. I don’t remember what happened to it or what it was even actually good for.
Pretty sure this is what I had.
“It belongs in a museum!”
You belong in a museum.
Just hang it on the wall
Bet it can run doom.
Someone with NetBSD is already scouring eBay.
I bet my left nut it runs NetBSD flawlessly.
What am I going to do with your left nut?
First, I’ll use a pair of rusty sizors to extract them, then I slice it into thin strips and fry with a little olive oil and garlic
I recommend with a grain of salt
Use your imagination.
I think we might both like it…
$500 might be a stretch, It weren’t for the horrible keyboard, and horrible screen, it might be worth putting a raspberry pi into as a sleeper project.
Yes I realize it’s a joke.
Hanna Montana, and you’re good to go.
More importantly, can it run doom?
this might unironically run linux depending on the specs
On a Z80?
Unironically, of course.
Be sure to wear your hacking goggles while flying through hyperspace, wouldn’t wanna catch any bugs in your eyes at such fast speeds.
Oh, I’m not moving. I just always have wind in my hair. 😎😎😎😎
I you’re going to hack one, this one is much cooler

there’s a teardown here:

Wwwwow. Yeah that is cooler. Is that just a repurposed oscilloscope?
Realistically with that screen size you could put anything in that thing. How do you get the impression that it might be a little smaller than it looks though.
Yeah, since it’s for kids, I think we need an adult sized hand in there for scale. Or a banana
