I don’t have words to express my…affection? for the nostr:npub12ctjk5lhxp6sks8x83gpk9sx3hvk5fz70uz4ze6uplkfs9lwjmsq2rc5ky Coldcard, especially the Q.

If you ever loved a TI-82 calculator, you’ll understand. The Q is everything you love about the mk 4 but easier and faster. It’s not as complicated as a TI-82, but the buttons do what they obviously should do just like on the TI-82.

Oh, and there’s that whole globally sovereign citizen/resilient against nation state attack thing thet a coldcard can _help_ with (it’s not magic, so don’t expect miracles). That’s dope.

The TI-82 was my first thought when I saw it.

I wrote my own pac man like game on my ti-82 in calculus class. Not very fast, very simple maze, difficulty adjusted by delaying the bad guys move with a timer. I had never heard of assembly back then…it was all TI built in basic commands.

If you like TI games...ticalc has a ton. Started looking for games after I used Claude to build something in TI basic. I never learned it well enough to build my own game though!
