This is a good link and the Practical Engineering guy doesn’t appear to reference a “myth.” Which is a good thing, because there’s nothing mythological about the high performance of Roman concrete.

There’s a whole body of work in the form of public statements and documents from Vint Cerf on that topic. You could explore Google for hours… https://spectrum.ieee.org/vint-cerf-mistakes

I suspect the only thing at risk of being smeared by a more complete retelling of that story is Google’s interview process.

Oddly enough, the SGI Fuel (also the Tezro, I think) had PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports but also offered USB ports and support for HID devices in IRIX. I have no idea whether the keyboard and mouse that shipped with those later SGIs wer

I thought it was rather sad when they removed those. That removal was fairly recent, too. I'm sure plenty of people were saying "who is Dan Bricklin?" but it added some needed character to the store.

I'm sure Microcenter is not selling Pi Zeroes at a loss. They're an authorized retailer selling at the part's MSRP. They do sometimes make these available only in store, not online, once they sell out online and I don'
