Hey fellow #RetroComputing #RetroTech weirdos (affectionate),

Over a decade ago, Blackberry was just giving their tablet, the Playbook, away to anyone who offered to try developing apps for it. They didn't last long enough to ask for it back. So natch, I got one and played with it a bit.

Now, it's still fully functional and collecting dust. None of the upstream infra or app store exists anymore, but I was hoping to still screw around with it. It's #QNX, an RTOS, which is neat. Right?

Anyway, does anyone else mess around with this kind of thing? The apps needed to be signed to work, even in dev mode.

@grim_elsewhere I worked on this when I was at RIM and I have one. However, it has since given up the ghost and no longer powers up.

It is QNX and sadly, I forget how to do anything with it. 😭
