Looks like I got laid off today.

If anyone’s looking for a C++ developer with 5 years of experience, feel free to reach out. I also work with Python, Go, and C.

I’m open to freelance work too - programming and pixel art 🎨

Feel free to DM me 🙂💻

@Judeau Thanks!

@Judeau Interesting. What specific model number and which keys?!

@ety @mxfraud I've had better retrogaming luck on ME, and you can use USB sticks with it.

@ben You can run an unmodified 8080 CP/M program from a Linux bash terminal using tnylpo (https://gitlab.com/gbrein/tnylpo) with Linux filesystem access and curses based VT52 emulation. It is done in C99 source and works on multiple Linux/U*Xes.

@Wintermute_BBS What specific ManjaroArm image did you use to boot on this machine? I tried to update mine many moons ago unsuccessfully. Thanks!
