Is this a vintage keyboard repurposed for the TV show? (From Silo, season 1) (lemmy.world)

After seeing the various Commodore keyboards in Alien: Romulus I'm wondering if these ones from Silo existed in the past too.

Magnification beyond certain point is forbidden in the pact, I don’t know how the residents of the silo could repair modern computers.

They are kept “in the past” both in technology and knowledge.

Season 2 spoilers

Tap for spoiler

In season 1 it is stated that they don’t know what stars are, in season 2 the same guy who studied “the lights in the sky” theorised about that the earth orbits the sun, thus, the population thinks that the sun orbits the earth.

Also people don’t know anything about cryptography.
