@roudy19411208 Looks like it went up against a war of the worlds Martian tripod..

@BillHeyman @GrowingUpRetro Put a system on top of wood furniture? That would be a whooping.. not to mention dangling controller cables over the set? That'd scratch the tube!
There is a reason I'd play pong or my c64 in the basement on the old black and white.
I wouldn't dare unplug the intellivision

@GrowingUpRetro And, you'd have your dad on your ass about the video game ruining the TV.

I wonder what the world would look like if IBM won instead of UNIX.
IBM’s i operating system is gorgeous (and still updated)! Everything is an object, no binaries are native (translated bytecode, almost JVM-y), and pointers all have an absurd amount of (useful) metadata.
Technically it hides a lot of the underlying system…you don’t even get to choose if an object lives on RAM or disk! But, interesting to think how much safer software would be.
Overengineered maybe, but beautiful. Kind of reminds me of Symbolics, like an alternate reality LISP machine where everything is an object.

@awesomekling It's the training sets, it's what they are used to... I've also heard thrashing them works too.
Picture unrelated.. 😂

I keep a lot of things on archive. Although a lot get deleted all the time. Tech books from the late 80s are fiercely guarded on the Internet. Luckily the lawyers don't spend the $500 or so and buy all the cheap versions to create an inflationary bubble and further remove them from the public zeitgeist.

Saying the “Internet is Forever” has turned out to be a big, fat lie.
Bit rot is real — and an unfortunate loss to society.

The best creative output of this century is going to be lost because it was posted on dead websites and message boards and deleted youtube channels. A lot of it is already gone.

@LucasMLaw @oli_tatty You know you can just move.
No reason to remain in the ruins

@oli_tatty Make sure he understands the amount of £ the Scottish people pay into the British taxman, for that the Scottish people get free uni/ prescriptions whilst English/Welsh don’t. Scottish citizens are a net benefiter from the uk tax system. He’s too dumb or ignorant to understand tho

WHAT COULD GO WRONG? The FCC approved Reflect Orbital’s Eärendil-1 test satellite, to demonstrate beaming reflected sunlight to targeted Earth locations at night using an 18-meter Mylar mirror. Reflect Orbital plans to launch 50,000 thousand satellites for on-demand lighting and solar power extension.

NEWS 🚨: The FCC just approved the first satellite designed to sell “sunlight on demand,” beaming reflected sunlight down to Earth after dark. The company wants 50,000 of them by 2035.

@dreamkid83 The worst part of the modern cellphones is how they killed aliens and crypto zoology.
RIP bigfoot.

Wysiwyg on the c64. It made reports on a cheap setup look "great".
Bullies destroyed my notes, so I printed them out, so I at least got partial credit since I was missing diagrams.. Ontario in the 80s grading was brutal id been held back a grade if I didn't type up everything into geo word nightly.

@virtuallyfun @MuseumCommodore Well I don't know nothing 'bout Geos, but I'm with you otherwise! No offense to the other systems, but the PET/C64 memory map still lives rent free in my head to this day.

@uncledoomer Even with name badges, like prisoners.
How demoralizing.

It's the software.
Japan had Sony, but there was no Microsoft.
Sharp, Epson et al, dominated their hardware , but they still ran DOS or a very DOS (humanos) DOS like OS. Once SVGA and Windows 95 hit the streets it all imploded.
Don't get me wrong, a PowerPC 601 based Sharp machine to succeed the x68000 sounds cool, but HumanOS in 1997? Yeah it just wasn't going to happen.
