Watch me play more Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar via USB Trackball.
Soon you will be able to use virtually all USB gamepads, joysticks and mice or trackballs with your #Atari Jaguar and USB4JAG.
On the subject of phones: Did you know that Atari (via their AtariTel division) developed a working videophone in 1976 codenamed "Phoney", and sold the technology to Mitsubishi, who released it as a commercial product - the Lumaphone - in 1986?

The C64U took existing commodore enthusiast products, packaged them together, provided QA and support, and offered it for less money than it would cost for an end use to assemble.
This is just about the opposite. Taking a Chinese dumb phone, customising it a bit, and adding a markup.
Seems Lee @morefunmakingit.bsky.social has had his Discord account hacked this morning and the Retro Hardware Discord (as well as others he manages) has been deleted as a result. People are in touch and he's aware. Here's hoping for a speedy resolution 😬
