Where are you reading that? The Perseverance rover uses the VxWorks real time OS from Wind River Systems and the same RAD750 PowerPC processor that NASA has been using for the last 20 years. The rover is designed to last and operate a long

I was just about to ask if anyone had used AFS. When I went to college from 1993-97 our university used AFS for all the Unix workstations. We had a mix of Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX, DEC Ultrix, SGI IRIX, and then some Linux boxes. When you log

I've been in digital physical design for 25 years. The Asianometry videos are a good intro into some of this. On the analog side you have a lot of custom transistors and hand drawn layout. On the digital side it is Verilog RTL, synthe
