Do you have a third thing to be wrong about so we can declare "ignorance trifecta complete"?

I don't remember why Netware/IPX was the default on so many Windows 95 installs Because Quake multiplayer originally used IPX, not TCP. At least, that's why I had IPX loaded...

To be fair, if you want to mess with your adversaries troop morale, screwing up dinner is pretty effective.

There is a huge difference between "X is good/bad at something it was not designed for" and " X is bad because it's bad at something it was not designed for".

I am always amused by "it's bad because it's bad at things it wasn't designed to be good at" rationalizations.

On top of that, some customers mandate a specific ISA or even a specific vendor, so none of it is truly fungible outside vertically integrated workloads like S3. I would be very interested to be a fly on the wall when a customer attempts

It was a states rights issue...the right of those states to own slaves. If you read the articles of succession for each of the confederate states (the actual words the actual people who decided "screw that Union thing..." put on

No atom bomb. Wow...that some nearly Shockley levels of 'engineers disease' right there. Edit: clarified which part of the post I was referencing.

Yes, but for many (not all) it's better than OOM killing your processes.

It's basically fine as long as you read the release notes carefully and don't do anything the release notes say not to do (e.g. RAID5, let the disk fill up). It still has some sharp edges, but they're all documented.

"I installed Ubuntu on peoples laptops and was extremely lucky they happened to have compatible hardware or didn't notice the stuff that didn't work and had a non-borked firmware". FTFY. This was absolutely not everyones

Yes, it's marketing materials for their computer products, including the Z80. "Not for use in life support" is extremely common in computer hardware disclaimers.

Not everything in real life distills to a programming analogy.

I don't disagree with you, but my concern is more people simply accepting the 'answer' because how could the AI be wrong and not for a moment thinking 'I should check if this is right', and if called out defaulting

That's pretty clever, but not surprising. NuBus was designed as a multimaster bus, so it should work (famous last words). The fact that your boss said YOLO and tried, that it actually did work, and the boot code helped out, is very

Welcome to our collective future; enjoy your stay. At least we can still spot the deception. That won't last forever.

Since the government wanted to replace the guts with custom Motorola/Intel parts Or they wanted to plug a couple of NuBus coprocessor boards in.

It's worth reading the article and understand "funding" in this case means "they bought NeXT computers like everyone else who bought a NeXT...they just bought a lot of them". This is an article about commerce, not

Buying boxes of NatGeo mags at estate/yard sales is not a bad answer. Lot's of folks want to get rid of them, and they are still in every way amazing.

Interesting...I don't know much about sophgo and bouffalo chips. Not surprising since the 8051 is patent-free these days. Something I found crazy is how many places someone embedded an 8051 core. Like the tire pressure monitor in ev

Interesting comment. I suspect without solid facts that new bespoke stuff is mostly either 1) some ARM variant, or 2) some rando US$0.001 Chinese uproc. I think 8051 survives because there's many decades of experience using it, b

Amen. I remember the about 6 months when the benchmark cawboys were screaming that they had to be able to have access to directly program the Pentium Pro micro-instructions because 'that would be so much faster' and no matter how

I keep seeing this line of reasoning and have no idea why it's relevant. You don't program that 'internal representation'. The software people want to run only care if that software doesn't run. Cyrix, Transmeta,

It's 'fun', for some folks 'nostalgic', possibly even 'interesting', in a casual sort of way. You apparently aren't familiar with these concepts. No need to hate on it.
