I also want them to not take up GBs of RAM for only having a few windows open. I want something not based on Electron. I want something native instead of written in Javascript.
I think this is something like that, https://github.com/webhdx/PicoBoot.
RP2040 for the Gamecube. Mostly they are using it for booting homebrew but I don't see why you couldn't edit the code and do anything you want with it.
The title for this post seems very incorrect. How can you have "lost" something you never had? He chose to not invest in Microsoft and live his life how he wanted and that somehow makes it out to him making poor choices. Notch is still a billionaire; is the person that wrote this a billionaire?
The article doesn't go into why building the Macintosh or the NeXT machines in the USA failed. I can see the problems of bringing manufacturing back to the USA but why did it fail in the first place?
I still often use a TI-89 I bought in 1999. I also bought my daughter a used TI-86 and she uses it daily. Both are way nicer to use than the calculators on our phones.
I was diagnosed with Delayed sleep phase disorder and have the same issue where sleep aids only work a few days at a time before stopping with diminishing returns everyday. Nothing but just letting myself sleep when my body wants to sleep has worked.
I worked a computer store back in the mid 2000s. We got an iMac in that had a busted CRT and the owner just wanted the data moved to a new machine and then gave us the old one to get rid of. I pulled it apart and installed Linux on the 233 Mhz PowerPC. It ran for years with just the power board and motherboard sitting open on my desk. I used it for a server and development environment through ssh. I finally turned it off and I recently pulled it out of the box and the PRAM battery had exploded and ruined the entire thing. Good memories though.
I use an Apple USB full-size keyboard from 2008. It is actually my favorite keyboard ever. After years of mostly using laptop keyboards I don't like full height keys anymore.
We use 100 Gb EDR Infiniband to each host in our HPC clusters and with a combination of file system access, message passing, and general network traffic we actually use that bandwidth.
We pay for RHEL subscriptions but do both. We have large NAS systems but some machines, like our NFS servers, also have large internal RAID setups. We have bumped into EXT3 max file system size issues in the past and had to use XFS on some hosts.
Here is a decent article written by Andy Hertzfeld. He was one of the original people working on the Macintosh.
The story explains they there were in fact Twiggy drive Macintosh machines but they found the drives expensive and unreliable which forced them to switch to the 3.5 inch Sony drives.
The glasses are 3D LCD shutter glasses. They sync the frame rate of the shutter to the video output using to the box on top of the monitor. This is a old school version of what the 3D TVs are doing now. We had a whole lab setup with active 3D at work and it was truly amazing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_Automatic_Virtual_Environm...
One of our supercomputing clusters does run with a shared / and a separate /var that is local to the machine. /var is local to the disk because the nodes are stateless but we would like a persistence store for things like logs.
Same thing happened to me a few years ago with Solaris and Irix. I used to use bash but the best shell available at work was tcsh. Now I have so much invested in tcsh that it is difficult to change back.
