This is a cheap Wikipedia machine with a monochrome touchscreen. You can read an off-line Wikipedia version on it, and it can also run apps written in FORTH if you upload them.
Has anyone of you bought this monstruosity? I'm thinking about buying one just for the fun of it.
>t. techmoan
>if you upload them
If you put them on its SD card*
I don't know why I wrote that.
>FORTH
the gentleman's language. why does nobody program in it?
it's pretty alright for what it is but there are better alternatives for android that keep the formatting and can include images for example, xowa. Also sucks that the open source community died for the device and there never was a pdf/epub reader made for it.
Purely stack based logic is tricky to write and even trickier to read later
Is there Wiktionary included? No?
To anyone feeling like buying this rn, don't bother the techmoan effect fucked it up already.
Fucking son of a bitch /rage
I surprisingly don't know about Techmoan.
>offline wikipedia
Install kiwix and dl the 20gb zim archive.
This. You can get other shit like the Archwiki and InstallGentoo as well.
i just saw this on my yt recomended
>monstruosity
Just download Wikipedia on your phone.
$32.00 - i can buy chinese tablet for this money
or android phone
so f-ck you
No point when you can just use an old smartphone to do the same thing but better.
Unfortunately this
All of this products are way too niche to compete with run of the mill chinkshit
>$32.00 - i can buy chinese tablet for this money
That's not the device, brainlet. It is an SD card with a Wikipedia inside it sold by a literally-who in the hopes that someone gives him free money.
It literally says: "WIKIREADER NOT INCLUDED": ebay.com
report em on ebay
if he sell sd card he must use photo of sd card
This should be great for the times when I don't have a phone with me or when mobile internet is so bad it can't display Wikipedia. Which is never.
I used to read Wikipedia on a WAP phone back in the day. There was also the school’s wikipedia which was a cd you could download of vandalism checked articles.
this but less cringey
the photo shows an sdcard, also the text "wikireader not included"
Why do I keep hearing about forth lately? Some sort of psy-op?
>not being prepared for the future, and/or willingly using the internet less
Very nice, did you download the wikis yourself or are they available in kiwix
Came here to post this.
p.s. techmoan is a top bloke
>look up bulbapedia zim file
>file was removed from the kiwix server
jdimsa
One of their mirrors have it
ftp.fau.de
Are we pretending that smartphones don't exist or what?
>not using Wikipedia r/2.7.232-r-2018-04-17 with a zim file
baka desu senpai
A smartphone can run for a full year on two AA batteries?
Where the fuck do you live that you can't charge a phone and would rather waste money on a useless piece of shit like that?
>AA batteries?
maybe if you don't use it at all. You will not use all the time that shit
>you will not use all the time that shit
What's your primary language?
Also, the preposition should go all the way at the front if you want to use it the best-est. "All the time, you will not use that shit."
>Wikipedia
LMAO no, it's long been compromised by people pushing political agendas and it's inaccurate as fuck
Why the fuck would I want to read wikipedia on a small ass monochrome screen?
>"All the time, you will not use that shit."
congrats, do you want a party for not knowing about someone's existence or...?
