Got this as part of a trade from Italy. It is, as we experts say, "not doing too hot". Unfortunately many of the issues, while cosmetic, are far too deeply rooted for me to fix. This was originally from a Vinted listing, the seller had the other color variants as well. Judging by the bottom of the box, you could get this either with or without a doll. On the topic of the doll, while the top half is an actual posable Barbie knockoff, the bottom half is just generic, unpainted, not-quite-the-matching-color molded plastic, perpetually stuck in a sitting position. This thing takes 6 AAs, and, typical for both large items of this era and items that take many batteries of this era, has separate switches for the chip and motor. By the way, there is surprisingly little going on in here. The motor goes straight to the BnG, and the chip is just rattling around inside (though I believe it was hot-glued down at one point), resulting in a shocking amount of this item being empty space. I could probably fit *another Chinafake* (or even several) into this thing without affecting its operation. Links and such: https://chinafake.wiki/links

The Mother of All Demos, presented by Douglas Engelbart (1968). I've seen part of it before, but now I watched the whole thing. It's insane how much before their time they were and what they achieved. 😮👏🏻🙌🏻🖥️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdhzMY #Demo #Demos #MotherOfAllDemos #TheMotherOfAllDemos #DouglasEngelbart #Computer #Computers #ComputerScience

@tagesschau@ard.social Hoffentlich wird in D endlich alle Welt wach, sieht, was für einer Netanjahu ist, und tut nicht jegliche Kritik an ihm und seinem ultrarechten Vize als Antisemitismus ab. #Netanjahu #Israel #TelAviv #Demos #Frieden #Antikrieg
