The wonders of the modern world: accessing Wikipedia with Commodore 64 from 1982.
Of course, this is "cheating" in all manner of ways, today's web is simply beyond reach of a device this limited. Just the deceptively simple looking, plain html version of the English Mastodon page is some 650 kilobytes, over ten times the size of the entire memory in the C64. It would require two whole two-sided C64 floppies to store on uncompressed. And that's without any pictures.
The actual network handling is done by modern hardware hidden into an extension cartridge (Ultimate II+ in this case), the C64 only sees a fast modem.
The C64OS 1.07 added support for networking through such devices, and comes with a specialized Wikipedia application that talks a simple protocol to a special service on a modern server that turns the actual Wikepedia page into something somehow consumable and viewable by the C64 - in the full glory of 40x25 character display.
It's all rather silly of course, but also neat 🤓
Can you imagine the device you're using to read this message still in use 40 years from now?

Really @TheRegister? I lived through this era & can say it was a lot more complex than that... https://www.theregister.com/2025/01/03/reevaluating_basics_legacy/ #BASIC #coding #retrocomputing #c64os
Reading about 90s era pcs from old magazines and such has generated me much excitement, but delving in with 86box has not been joyful. Moving on to tinker with 8bits next. C64 more specifically, I did buy that copy of c64os after all. #c64 #c64os #retrocomputing #8bit

@C64_Universe Good looking, but it's more of a demo than a real OS, like those people have made with web pages; #C64OS is a real OS though! It has drivers, APIs for apps, an object-orientated widget toolkit and more: https://c64os.com #c64 #retrocomputing
