Somewhere around the original ipad era, I believe there was a curated subset of wikipedia articles that may have been called something like Educator’s Edition.
It worked offline and had images and I traveled to Peru with it and learned so much. Does anyone remember this sort of thing?
I’ve tried wix formatted copies and they do work but the experience on an offline ipad was simply better. Thanks in advance.
Tangent - I’ve noticed a lot more comments like this using the “^0” syntax for citations vs the traditional “[0]” one I’ve become accustomed to seeing on HN. Is there a real shift happening here and, if so, why?
thank you very much. that page brings me back. it even has technorati tags.
by the way, do you still have an olpc? i never got to use one but remember seeing them. my one weird piece of similar era tech is a cr48, the early chromebook google gave away. I remember on the form for requesting them it asked what you would do with it. i responded “install linux on it” and they gave me one.
Yes, I still have mine from the Give-One-Get-One program. It's still my favorite screen for sunny day use. It still works, I've been using a power supply from an X30 ThinkPad as I have no idea where the original went.
My neighbor years ago used to always chuckle at me using it with an Happy Hacking Pro keyboard because of the price difference between the two.
