1MB of RAM?

This was in the era of MDS etc I think. MPW didn't came until a while later and that is when the Lisa Workshop officially became obsolete.

What is fun is how they raised the list price of a Mac II in late 1988 by ~$1100, and even the IIcx in 1989 was not much cheaper. To their credit, they did release the SE/30 which had the processing power and was even cheaper but still

Fun fact: I think the IBM PC/AT was released just before the Mac 512K. The former used stacked 128Kbit DRAM while the latter used the then-new 256Kbit DRAM. IBM tended to be more conservative than Apple was.

That OS/2 2.0 debacle is one of my favorite topics BTW. It ended up in the end much worse than that.

I wonder how much the mining GPU shortage helps.

Well, it dates back to when the gold standard ended in 1971, and then there was the oil crisis in 1973 etc.

That is partly because of the petrodollar BTW.

The point is that the dollars used to buy BTC has to come from somewhere.

This reminds me of selling Bitcoin in order to pay off debt.

I did mention ad blocking in the essay. In general, the current economy is fundamentally based on extracting more dollars from "consumers".

The entire current debt-based economy is fundamentally designed to extract as much money as possible from "consumers".

It would be fun to do the math if every one of the parking spots had EV charging

I wonder if some of it is about the fact that the PC demand due to GPU shortages may be only short term. In any case, the demand was definitely very sudden and there is no way that Apple would have been prepared for it.

I remember this debacle: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12816 Notice the mention that "this was put in with great effort (to the extent of stopping Trac notifications) by Matt himself".

The current debt-based economy encourages this kind of behavior. I am more familiar with the US, but I think UK is not much better at this point. The worst was probably things like Rambus (not long after US DRAM manufacturing declined).

I wrote an essay about Google: http://yuhongbao.blogspot.com/2018/04/google-doubleclick-moz... I wonder if there are any other notable Google privacy problems not covered in the essay.

Of course, I specifically mention the difference in the essay too, including the history of Google ads.

I wonder why such strict standards are needed, given that it is open source.

They did make a few changes, such as in window hooks. Compare http://www.os2museum.com/files/docs/win10sdk/windows-1.03-sd... and http://www.os2museum.com/files/docs/win20sdk/wi

What I was talking about is that SuSE Linux of course had no CALs, you only pay for support like with RHEL. This is unlike NetWare and Windows

Of note is that DRAMeXchange is in China I think too.

Thinking about it, I wonder how many pure SUSE/OES (without Windows) shops are there, for example in small businesses.

eDirectory etc is where the per seat licensing of OES comes from, BTW.

Systemd is probably worth mentioning here.

Yea, I mentioned Novell in my essay and how its revenue declined quickly after they moved away from NetWare, including that both NetWare and Windows used Client Access Licenses that Linux lacked.

Thinking about it, I wonder if some of the reasons for the unethical tactics Intel did in the mid-2000s was fear that the revenue would decline quickly if the market share goes to say 10%.
