@foone@digipres.clubWhen I'm president, I'm gonna institute Universal BASIC Income.
It'll be a stipend everyone gets, but it can only be used to purchase BASIC programming books or 8-bit computers.
@foone I saw this yesterday and am reminded of it again
I wonder if I might have one of these little bricks in storage https://www.vintagevibe.co.nz/single-board-computers/verifone-tranz-330/
@foone@digipres.club@vxo oh that's awesome. There's often a big pile of credit card machines at ewaste, I'll have to check for one of these
@foone they're a bountiful little box of useful peripherals too. Bell 202 modem, keypad, at least two external serial ports, the magstripe reader, keypad, and VFD. I think there must also be a piezo beeper in there. Power is just bog standard 12v if I remember correctly
