In the intro, Linus mistakenly adds 'Soviet' when expanding the acronym C.S.S.R. which should be simply 'Czechoslovak Socialist Republic'. Additionally, there are comments stating that this keyboard couldn't have been used at Chornobyl. We can't be 100% sure, of course. The photo of the KB in the ruins comes from www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/73ej6l/i_visited_chernobyl_and_the_abandoned_city_of/

Fun fact: I work at the location that this keyboard was made (sorta). It's now called Nova Zbrojovka and it's a major redevelopment site. Most of the factories and old buildings have been demolished and new office space has been build in their place, or turned into curling halls (very Canadian) or rented as space for events (we had a really cool company party there last year).

Stupid, inconvenient to use? Yeah.

I know it’s not the most advanced piece of hardware, but I have a lot of good memories with it.

"Game console". Shakes head. The Commodore 64 was a full on home computer, and it still held up for doing actual work until the days of the 486. It's remembered for games these days because the people that use them now were kids that played games on it 30-40 years ago, but in it's day the 64 was just as good as any other computer, and better than most.

But for the price they cost, you only usually get shitty products, but you can probably get better deals. But the budget options were never too good to begin with... On the shelf here i have a tesla domino, a 80's budget radio from Tesla (Domino I, picked up on Sbazar for 100Kč), and the FM tuner, I'd say it's "main" feature, is kind of shit, but on the other side, I have a Tesla Sázava, a 70's way costlier radio, and it in fact still is a great radio, even does CCIR FM (I think it cost 500 - 1000 Kč on Sbazar, not sure) Proč to celý vůbec píšu v angličtině?

5:32 Linus mentions that the information is broken into two half bytes. I don’t think many people know this, there is a term for a half byte. One half of a byte (4 bits) is referred to as a “nibble”. The term came from a play on the words “byte” and “bite”. When you eat, what is smaller than a “bite”? A “nibble”. I think it should be spelled nybble to differentiate it from nibble meaning a small bite. A nybble would be a small byte.

Damn, it's cool to see that thing working! I bought a consul 259.13 board off ebay a couple years ago but never got around to working on it. This video is convincing me I should really take a look at it and try to get it working. I was hoping to write a qmk adapter for it to maybe get it working more like a modern keyboard, but I might just end up when the semi-functionality you guys got.

I've noticed this keyboard is using the ЙЦУКЕН / JCUKEN keyboard layout, which is a phonetic keyboard layout for the Russian keyboard layout while the Czechs use a modified QWERTZ keyboard layout. Very interesting...
@kmartyCZ 15 күн бұрын
Why is it interesting? Czech keyboard layout originates from typewriter and when typewriters came in czechoslovakia, it was part of austro-hungarian empire, so the only available typewriters here were with german layout. And german keyboard/typewriter uses QWERTZ. (I prefer variant of czech keyboard layout called "czech programmer" which is basically english with alternative characters on numeric row. Or even better, the layout used in Apple's "ABC Extended")
