- FerretFred 2y agoCame here to say that! Love that design! (BTW autocorrect just corrected "design" to deism" - it must be a sign!)
- ndegruchy 2y agoPraise Kier! I want that keyboard so bad...

- ndegruchy 2y agoThanks, adding it to my wishlist!
- dialup_sounds 2y agoPlease try to enjoy each key equally and not show preference for any over the other.
- kps 2y agoThat is a Data General 6053, aka Dasher D2, terminal, with a trackball spliced in place of the number pad. The D2 was introduced in 1977, same year as the Apple II.
- nailer 2y agoDG 6503 images: https://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/Data_General_6053 https://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/Data_General_6053 DG story is fascinating. Founded in 1968 by ex DEC engineers. Annual sales of 1B in 1984. But then started losing to DEC's own VAX. VAX is it's own ball of worms - the designers of VMS, the OS, ended up at Microsoft designing Windows NT. But a bunch of VAX customers ended up up installing this weird thing they got on tape from a friend instead of VMS, called 'UNIX' which confused DEC - why would you want a VAX without VMS? And now half of everyone that's reading this on a desktop is doing so on either iOS, macOS or Android (UNIX or GNU variants) or Windows (Windows NT successor).
- alnwlsn 2y agoHere's a video of one being restored: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bjdrKCmiE0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bjdrKCmiE0 The keyswitches are foam and foil, and the CRT really is a blue/white color.
- xattt 2y agoThank you for nailing this down.
- jdeibele 2y agoObligatory plug for "The Soul of a New Machine", written by Tracy Kidder about Data General and the drive to introduce a new computer a couple of years after this terminal was introduced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Soul_of_a_New_Machine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Soul_of_a_New_Machine
- novoreorx 2y agoJust an average Cyberdeck, I've seen cooler ones at places like https://cyberdeck.cafe/ https://cyberdeck.cafe/
- WorldPeas 2y agoIf only they could transplant some of the swag here to the (hopefully) upcoming 50th anniversary Mac
- nasretdinov 2y agoInstructions unclear; Pressed buy now, now watching Severance for the third time in a row
- _7acn 2y agoOK, but DaVinci Resolve is still better :)
- Aaron2222 2y agoThey were actually using Avid Media Composer, not Final Cut Pro.
- joeblubaugh 2y agoI was hoping for a free typeface - that’s a great typeface name. Anybody know what the Lumon font is?
- jmoisan 2y agoManifold Extended CF. There are many others: https://youtu.be/aGMcYYCNwRI?si=k5_30MYTvpO7Iw3F https://youtu.be/aGMcYYCNwRI?si=k5_30MYTvpO7Iw3F
- piyuv 2y agoLumon: is an evil company employing kids, slaves and holding people hostage against their will Apple: hey guys here’s the cool terminal from our beloved sci-fi horror show People: this is fucking cool I want this right now take my money lumo… oops Apple
- ender341341 2y agoI mean, it's not the terminal that's the problem with Lumon, it's the other things you mentioned like slaves & child labor that are problematic. Its a cool retro (real) terminal.
- tonyedgecombe 2y agoThe video linked from that page is interesting, no mention of the Mac Pro or even Mac Studio. The series was edited on Mac mini, iMac and MacBook Pro.
- efficax 2y agothey also look like they're using studio displays, instead of the pro display xdr, so they must just be doing the cuts here and the HDR color grading somewhere else. maybe they rent an editing room with those $30k+ reference displays to do the color grading?

- tylerflick 2y agoIt’s ironic this page doesn’t render properly with Safari on an iPhone 13. Edit: in portrait orientation
- Clamchop 2y agoThe work is mysterious and important.
- Apocryphon 2y agoDefinitely beats the Cardiff Electric Giant, at least.
- fathermarz 2y agoI wonder who the audience is for the Mac Studio after they showcased some pretty serious workflows from industry leaders using a Mac Mini, Mac, and a MacBook Pro.
- ender341341 2y agoI kinda feel like Apple has been trying to say that for a long time, and finally got sick of people saying they abandoned the pro scene and said fuck it here's your massively overpriced "professional" version so you can feel like you're a pro.
