I recently learned that in the mid 90s in Japan, the Super Nintendo had a peripheral called a Satellaview, which was a satellite modem that would receive data broadcasts from Nintendo.
Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Probably not, but if you can beam satellite signals to a SNES, you can probably run Slack on it.
I love obscure game console accessoires.
I really like this article, especially the summary, which, frankly, is brilliant:
“Thaat’s it! Follow your dreams, even if your dreams are stupid.”
At first I thought the title meant he got Slackware running on SNES. Now that would be crazy!
Slackware might be crazy, but I’ve seen people get older BSD versions (4.3 I think) running on the 65C16, which means they could probably be run on a SNES if someone wanted to write a console driver for it.
On the same note, there’s a working NetBSD port to the SEGA Dreamcast…
I thought the exact same thing… until i clicked the linked article.
haha, we see that we are on an oldschool community.
No worries, you don’t miss anything by not using Slack.
