In addition to the blog where this post is taken from https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/, you could check https://folklore.org/ https://folklore.org/ for early Apple anecdotes. And also https://www.jwz.org/blog/ https://www.jwz.org/blog/ for early Netscape/Mozilla stories
- voidUpdate 2mo agoApparently jwz doesn't like HN, if you click that link you just get an image of a testicle in an eggcup
- Oxodao 2mo agoAnd it seems to store that info locally as even typing the url manually after being redirected from here you still get the eggcup. Using the link in private mode does work though, probably need to clear the local storage
- voidUpdate 2mo agousing a different browser works fine too (tried edge after chrome)
- Hugsbox 1mo agoI thought that link was safe to click at work. I thought wrong :(
- mastazi 1mo agosorry, I forgot that it did that when clicked from HN. I usually access it from my bookmarks.
- lode 2mo agoI also like https://computer.rip/ https://computer.rip/ - not personal anecdotes from people who were there, but definitely well researched and interesting technology history.
- mastazi 1mo agoyes that's a great one! I read it semi-regularly but forgot to mention it!
