For the crime of making a joke about Russia's technology in the 90s, lemmy.ml admin hands down a 1 week ban across 20 communities. - eviltoast

Modlog, which includes a site ban—something only admins can do.

The community bans also include communities that aren’t moderated by any instance admins, and some that are only moderated by a single person who likely isn’t aware of actions taken under their community’s name.

      My father had the Soviet clone, and it’s still in the attic in a beat-up original box. It no longer works, the chip was killed presumably by static electricity when someone touched the battery contacts… Early CMOS was super fragile, even low-frequency circuits like this.

      Super boring BTW.

      This was probably the best affordable electronic toy in the USSR. They could have beaten this if they released a Tetris handheld but they didn’t have enough R&D time before the regime crumbled; it would likely never get approved either.
