     @tyler @disarray @Moon I cringed hard when he positioned it as a learning computer for children in one of the videos. Raspberry Pi tried to do the same, and I'm yet to see a single programming prodigy raised on it. It's bound to be an obscure toy for nerds, except with less usecases than a relatively modern ARM board and zero nostalgia factor like period-correct 8 bit systems have.

     So homo
     
     5 years ago it was supposed to be an affordable computer learning tool but now it's the funko pop of nu-retro computing
     
     Plus plays along with transvestite delusion.
     
     8 bit guy? Not one bit of sense.

     Kids that get into `real programming` these days have fathers to help them with that.

     @mint @disarray @tyler @Moon agreed
     
     if you have a kid and want them to learn programming give them an old ThinkPad with Linux and an IDE of your choice and sit down with them

     @mint @disarray @tyler Also yeah I agree no kid wants to learn on this thing. It's too limited. It fits a very specific niche, a brand new "super 8-bit system"

     @Moon @disarray @tyler One could design a comparable system over ESP32 or any other similar microcontroller, and do their assembly coitus to the heart's contest. Or repurpose any other device like, say, an old Nokia for that. What I see in this project is David trying to relive his childhood in the most megalomaniac way possible.

     @mint @disarray @tyler it's not the same. but yeah he had to make some concessions that make the entire project kind of miss the point.
     
     I believe the keyboard controller is a 32-bit microcontroller, and the video on it is a FPGA.

     @vaartis @disarray oh okay.
     
     The original reason for its existence was "what if there was a super charged Commodore 64 that can do x, y and z? wouldn't that be cool well I'm making it."
     
     This is a niche product. Arguably for what it is it is way too expensive but it's still interesting. most of the complaints on the blog post are that it's pointless because you can use a MiSTeR and that what they said it was "for" has changed over time. I don't find these very compelling, a lot of things don't have a "point" they're made for tinkering and that's good enough. As far as the purpose changing over time, I agree that's stupid but it doesn't make the hardware less cool.
