Esta es una #TexasInstruments #Avigo10 reliquia de 1997 cuando a TI le dio por incursionar en el mundo de los #PDA. Yo era muy fan de este dispositivo antes de que cayera a mis manos mi primera #Palm.

Esta me la heredaron para mi colección, y no me pregunten como, pero después de al menos una década, aún conservaba información en su memoria interna. Perteneció a una eminente investigadora científica, del CIAD de Hermosillo, Sonora.

Harvesting fruit and vegetables 'in the middle of nowhere': The Pacific Islander farm workers scheme

"With about 30,000 PALM workers in Australia as of October, that equates to about 30 deaths per 100,000 people — more than six times the national average of 4.8 per 100,000."

"Back home, I usually drive for no more than 30 minutes before reaching my destination. Here, I'd drive for hours... after working 12-hour shifts." >>

Cover-Up (3).

Another palm shot, and this time for the face of my palm, not back as yesterday's. Man... I have some weird hand there 😳😬
I had to play with the contrast severely as usual here, so there are some artifacts and blown out highlights, but I think some veins can be seen here forming something like circles or cells (opposite the thumb, or on Venus mount for palmistry people).
I'm still trying to do more experiments with this, planning to change the filter from IR850 (which has a threshold of 850nm) to IR720 (which has a threshold of 720nm of course) while keeping an infrared gel filter on the speedlite head - still didn't get the time to do this unfortunately; my life had been hectic for a week so far and fatigue keeps riding my back.

This thing still looks like the future.

Shit, I want to end my blogpost about my usage of Dired in Emacs, write another blogpost about cheatsheets for not-every-day-used Emacs keybindings, write simple AF program for plain-text accounting for myself (with a very limited subset of ledger syntax) in a Common Lisp with the help of #ecl and Natural Intelligence (since almost all software for plaintext accounting are proudly slopware nowadays and I can't rely on it and can't trust my accounting to such slopware), countinue drilling case for my NAS, write another blogpost about low-cost selfhosting on Intel Atoms, reverse-engineer PDBs for some default programs on my #Palm PDA (can't find time and muse for it in 4 years  ), setup Emacs on Android to use it for everything and avoid use of K9-Mail, ConnectBot and other slopware, and write another blogpost about using Palm in 2022^W2023^W2024^W2025^W2026 — but I didn't sleep well and need to have a good sleep now, FUCK!  

      

@kev In case you want another great typing experience… #palm
Una #Palm Zire 71 para la colección, y 3 nuevos libros para la biblioteca personal..

Aproveitando o último toot sobre o HandyShopper, como já comentei aqui, eu tenho um #tablet HiGole Gole2 Pro com N5095, 16 GB RAM, SSD de 256 GB e MicroSD de 128 GB. Projeto térmico digno de pena, carcaça plástica e dependente de um powerbank externo, pois felizmente não confiei no projeto dos caras.

É uma batata quente, mas que tinha muito potencial para ser um dispositivo Linux de bolso, ainda que dependente de um powerbank.

No lugar de rodar um emulador de #Palm javascriptado no #iOS, eu preferia ter um aplicativo nativo rodando no tablet rebelde com Silverblue. O problema é que, mesmo que um aplicativo do tipo possa ser escrito com auxílio de IA em relativamente pouco tempo (com base na minha experiência tentando clonar utilitários do #QuikMenu usando C++ e Qt com parafernália amarrada via #Nix), não tenho hardware decente.

Eu cheguei a pensar se não daria para fazer uma carcaça com teclado e ventoinha mais parruda, mas... francamente? Acho que não compensa o esforço. É tempo e dinheiro demais para um dispositivo chinês obscuro que eu nem sei se vai sobreviver, justamente pelo projeto ruim.

Talvez seja melhor pegar um #uConsole, mesmo com CM Lite e 4 GB de RAM.

Got my new/old Palm Tungsten T5. It is a thing of joy especially in these days of privacy invasion. Look forwards to doing more stuff offline in the future. Just one question - how do I power down? I see the power key but it just puts it in standby. Is there a proper power down sequence? #palm #pda #retrotech
