HOME AUTOMATION Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 3 hours ago, jrhodes said: Yeah! I stopped in for one of these on Delancey Street, NYC, Circa 1990. Had a couple bites, than promptly escorted it to the waste receptacle. 13 years prior, I used to get them in L.A., and on occasion in Mexico... They were good then\there. Got made fun-of in Mexico ...for not buying a "real" Mexican Taco. But, I never got sick once! ...And they did taste a bit more authentic in Mexico... or so I believed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tursi Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Found this at a local retro swap meet - looks familiar! I've never seen this one before. (Also never seen the Darth Vader A2 it's connected to in RL before either). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary from OPA Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Goodbye Intel... It was nice knowing you... 19,250 employees got their pink slip today. 10 billion in looses. If you put $100 into Intel 25 years ago, your investment would still be worth $100. https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/1/24210656/intel-is-laying-off-over-10000-employees-and-will-cut-10-billion-in-costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit, the 13th/14th Gen CPU problem completely blind-sided me. Having to license AMD's 64-bit CPU engine should have been a warning, in hind-sight. Or, maybe its purchase of McAfee and subsequent failure to do anything useful with it. For the longest time, I had wanted to build and sell servers based on AMD CPUs (I have a couple of K6-III+ and Athlon XP+ which are still kicking ass,) but AMD's lack of a vertical small business market was untenable. Good chipsets (in the 2000s, NVidia made the best, IMO,) would not last long enough to establish a stable system base, and bad chipsets were, well, just fracking bad. You built an Intel system with an Intel motherboard, Intel chipset, Intel CPU, and Intel RAID controller (or an AMI with an Intel chip at its heart) and it was rock-solid, stable, and outlived its cabling. Things started changing around 2014, then discontinuing desktop motherboards in 2016. Well, the writing was on the wall, even if it took a long time. Oh, well. It was a fun run. What, about 50 years give-or-take? 40 good ones? I am really not sure how long AMD is going to be able to hold on against the ol' Acorn Risc Machine. The next few years are going to be a blast. The big change in the small business and home computer market is coming much more quickly than we hoped. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary from OPA Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) August 2nd, 1988: Breakfast Time visited rural Warwickshire, where the Darling family ran Britain's second most successful computer games company. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codemasters Back in 1988, they were Britain's second largest game company, making 2.1 million pounds per year. Sadly, after selling out to EA for 2.1 billion in 2021, now EA has been laying off employees since December 2023. ssstwitter.com_1722593829280.mp4 Edited August 2 by Gary from OPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried mine though. sadly, i somehow lost my morning star and foundation cp/m cards, when i got all my ti99 peb's out of storage, those cards were not in the slots, strange. too bad as i had both, and even the 80col addon card as well. and also the foundation memory card, and morning star memory card for the ti99 side, i think i lost one full peb somehow, must have not gotten placed into the storage, along with the other 6 packed boxes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
