    In the intro, Linus mistakenly adds 'Soviet' when expanding the acronym C.S.S.R. which should be simply 'Czechoslovak Socialist Republic'.
    Additionally, there are comments stating that this keyboard couldn't have been used at Chornobyl. We can't be 100% sure, of course. The photo of the KB in the ruins comes from www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/73ej6l/i_visited_chernobyl_and_the_abandoned_city_of/

      Commodore 64 is one of my favorite gaming consoles of all time. I’m so glad Linus made a video on a keyboard from the same company that made the console. I remember when I got my Commodore 64 for Christmas. It was amazing to have the power to create my own games and apps. I know it’s not the most advanced piece of hardware, but I have a lot of good memories with it.

      "Game console". Shakes head. The Commodore 64 was a full on home computer, and it still held up for doing actual work until the days of the 486. It's remembered for games these days because the people that use them now were kids that played games on it 30-40 years ago, but in it's day the 64 was just as good as any other computer, and better than most.

      For some unknown for me reason in ussr they were really against using QWERTY or cousins and instead used phonetical layout. It means that Й became J, У -- U, Т -- Т, В -- V and so on. Stupid, inconvenient to use? Yeah. Of course if this is the only keyboard you have ever used you will learn to use it, but it just is stupid to use ЙЦУКЕН for latin, especially since phonetical mapping didn't always work and some letters are in quite random places. ​@@kaasmeester5903

But it's true that (the cheap ones) products with the Tesla branding are pretty crap today, at least judging by the reviews on Alza... But for the price they cost, you only usually get shitty products, but you can probably get better deals. But the budget options were never too good to begin with...
      On the shelf here i have a tesla domino, a 80's budget radio from Tesla (Domino I, picked up on Sbazar for 100Kč), and the FM tuner, I'd say it's "main" feature, is kind of shit, but on the other side, I have a Tesla Sázava, a 70's way costlier radio, and it in fact still is a great radio, even does CCIR FM (I think it cost 500 - 1000 Kč on Sbazar, not sure)

    5:32 Linus mentions that the information is broken into two half bytes. I don’t think many people know this, there is a term for a half byte. One half of a byte (4 bits) is referred to as a “nibble”. The term came from a play on the words “byte” and “bite”. When you eat, what is smaller than a “bite”? A “nibble”. I think it should be spelled nybble to differentiate it from nibble meaning a small bite. A nybble would be a small byte.

      But I'm also very disappointed with the absurdly misleading title of the video.
      But yes the plant was still in operation, there is still to this day people working inside the exclusion zone with even tasks like cleaning the streets.
      There is even a hotel in the area.
      So yes a keyboard like this could have been used there, but it's not *from* Chernobyl, it's from Brno.

    • @kmartyCZ

      Why is it interesting? Czech keyboard layout originates from typewriter and when typewriters came in czechoslovakia, it was part of austro-hungarian empire, so the only available typewriters here were with german layout. And german keyboard/typewriter uses QWERTZ.
      (I prefer variant of czech keyboard layout called "czech programmer" which is basically english with alternative characters on numeric row. Or even better, the layout used in Apple's "ABC Extended")
