#clockworkpi

It is a widely known fact that despite loving #startrek I am not a huge #voyager fan; specfically I find #neelix very very annoying and unlikable.

Due to a mixup, a techno toy that I bought myself for my birthday (a #clockworkpi #PicoCalc ) ended up getting shipped to my parents in the US. My friend agreed to bring it over with him on a trip to the UK. I finally got it yesterday and excitedly unboxed it only to find my "friend" had filled it with pictures of neelix! He got me so bad.

I was looking at BOOX for an e-paper-based laptop-like device, but then I learned that they withhold Linux kernel source code modifications in violation of the GPL, which turned me off from their brand.

Thinking about getting a #PineTab or #PineNote as a daily carry device, or possibly a #ClockWorkPi #uConsole as a handheld.

I had canceled all of my hardware purchase plans in light of the stupid #tariffs, but those now appear to be going away, hopefully, at least in the short term.

I'm intrigued! #ClockWorkPi's shipping is legendarily slow, but it seems you got yours kinda quickly.

How's the keyboard experience? Mushy? Clicky? Too small for it to matter either way?

The page lists some kind of #UNIX that can run on it, but there's no details on the page. Any idea what kind of OS it can run? I'm curious how any Unix could run on a MCU like the #Pico

Assembled my PicoCalc today. It was really well packaged with nice instructions. The device itself feels really well constructed and has a few features you might not expect like speakers, headphone jack, volume knob, backlit keyboard, and inbuilt charger for the 18650s. Next step is finding out what the little BASIC shell is capable of.
