I'm surprised I can't find any actual abacus input devices. Like, shouldn't there be an abacus with usb that sends bytecode

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I used to use puppy in my ancient laptop. Loved it
The office job I had before Covid had machines with Windows XP stickers on the front running Windows 10.
Took near 10min to get to the login screen, and you had to remember to save all your work before trying to open an browser because it was semi common for Chrome to crash everything else, sometimes the whole computer. (and yes we were forced to use Chrome...)
Keyboard has too many keys, bloat/10
probs don't need that mouse either
I thought GCC dropped support for compiling to the abacus?
its still on the LTS. and theres now a fork dedicated to maintaining that LTS.
That mouse is probably using like 0.5W of power, that's way too much. Throw it away and keybind everything.
Trim down power usage...
Don't plug it in. Use only the abacus.
Check this new 0 W setup! It’s running pretty smoothly as long as you remember to add some oil between the beads from time to time.
Look like AI
nah it looks to be shitty photoshop
I'll bet a testicle this was done in GIMP
Whose?
idk, i'll just grab from the pile...
just one is not enough
How about 3?
is that three or a visual representation of two? either way, i'm in.
That was the joke I think
Woosh I guess?
Well poop woosh indeed
LOL... I guess!
The abacus is the only thing real in the picture.
