Vuk (computer)
Vuk (pronounced [ʋûːk]) is a computer prototype designed by a group of students from Leskovac in SFRY (now Serbia). It was supposed to be a multipurpose educational computer. The development started in 1984 and in 1988 about ten prototypes were produced. Although the design received awards,[1] the Yugoslav industry was not interested, so the computer never reached the production phase.

gollark: They can't magically just avoid all the sandboxing restrictions by doing that for really obvious reasons.
gollark: Android apps are able to run executables, within their own sandboxed environment, subject to normal permissions stuff.
gollark: That is *not* how it works.
gollark: I don't really like vacuum tubes honestly. It's much cooler, in my opinion, seeing how much stuff can be packed into tiny silicon chips.
gollark: > tiktok takes advantage of the openess and can load executables with no checks at allOh no, imagine programs being able to run other programs within their sandbox?
