What we think about it:
chrisdh79 - "From the article: The emulated device in question is a Palm m130, a device released in 2002. It had a two-inch 160 x 160 display, was powered by Motorola’s 33MHz DragonBall VZ processor, and ran on Palm OS 4.1. Palm said the battery would last a week between charges, and you could even add Bluetooth via a card slot. People liked it, it got good reviews. You probably haven’t thought about it in damn near two decades."
ablackcloudupahead - "So they're just emulating the device instead of programming new software. Makes sense really"
zaphrous - "A permanent temporary solution"
rapp38 - "When you work in tech, nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution."
bryansj - "It also works the other way. Whenever I cable manage my permanent solution I'll be undoing it and cutting cable ties within a couple days."
sonic10158 - "Velcro ties for the win"
bryansj - "Still an undoing. Velcro ties can be annoying as well. Why is the one cable I need to remove the one I attached the Velcro tie to?"
Comrade_Pinhead - "Because entropy does not exist and existence is a lie."
Allen_Koholic - "That’s one of my three tenants, along with “When you give people choices, they become choosy” and “It’s always DNS, unless it’s not, and then it’s a cert issue. And if it’s not that, it’s DNS.”"
stevewmn - "tenants"
Captain-Cadabra - "Choosy moms choose JIF"
Semi-Pro_Biotic - "Ride or die for GIF."
tallerThanYouAre - "If you don’t take the time to go back and capitalize that word, you’re gonna life with the consequences for the next ten years."
PC-load-letter-wtf - "As someone with many temporary solutions permanently deployed in production environments, I approve of this message"
BrickGun - "And the corollary: When you "migrate" to a new system... prepare to run/manage two (or more, additively) systems indefinitely and permanently."
jm9160 - "I love this comment"
edwardrha - "Until they have to emulate the current OS inside a future OS to run the emulation software."
ocp-paradox - "it's emulations all the way down. maybe we're not the top one either."
Ziograffiato - "Could they port it over to Raspberry Pi and call it Palm-kin Pi?"
