I finally found a use for an underpowered sbc I bought during the pandemic. I put Debian base, lightdm and sugar on it. It was a fun project for me. Hopefully it introduces a lifelong love of computers.
She already had a text to speech robot saying things like poopy, fart, butt stink and fire in the hole. The apple doesn’t fall too far from the dingleberry.
Sometimes I imagine telling my younger self about today’s computers, and how much it would have blown my tiny mind. My first computer was a 386SX 25mhz, 4mb of ram, 80 meg hard drive. That I can buy for $15 a quad-core 1ghz 512mb ram computer the size of a stick of gum, then spend another $10 or so to get 32Gb of storage the size of my index fingernail is nothing short of incredible.
