Let's get this board moving.
>>2577That I am too young to remember.
>>2581It's the dad of the cassette. It was called tape magazine if I remember well.
>>2589And that's the irony frens.
Stupidity is innate and not amount of information or education will make it go away.
>>2616>$2999>in the 80s>with just enough processing power to play games like BerzerkMy god, computers used to be stupidly inaccessible. Really puts things into perspective doesn't it?
>>2617Look at the 2 docks for diskettes. WOW!
>>2618Two whole floppies. Wasn't Doom too big for one?
>>2619>Wasn't Doom too big for one?I never used diskettes for games, only to load D.O.S.
>>2622>Please do not lower my polygon count>Actually, I prefer my low polygon count now, thank youPostal Brain Damaged is fun if you like modern boomershooters, btw, I enjoyed it a lot
>>2618>2 docks for diskettesGiving it a second look, those are the first 5 inches diskettes, later came the 3 inches ones with more capacity. That machine is a true dinosaur.
>>2616>start at $2999Which was a toy for a kid, to run any serious program the bells and whistles were required, jumping to $5000.
>>2625To be fair, in 1983 there wasn’t really a dedicated market for gaming PCs. Early personal computers were like early cell phones, in that most people who bought them were either professionals who needed them for some legitimate business reason, or else rich consoomers who just wanted to own the latest gadget. Games for PCs existed but they were super primitive and mostly text based. Video game culture was still mainly in the arcades. I think home consoles also started appearing at this time. Either way, only serious geeks owned home computers for gaming, and most gamers were also programmers. The Commodore 64 was the most popular rig for this type of hobbyist, and that was much more reasonably priced.
>>2626>Video game culture was still mainly in the arcades.That machine, in vanilla configuration, could run only games in the Pong category.
The mystery if Pi.
In the video the following statement:
“Where ever there is Pi, there is a hidden circle.”Interesting thought in regards to Pi and the ECM.
An apparent mystery for physics and math fags.

No matter what language you program in or what applications you use: everything you do with a computer today is powered at some level by a piece of C/C++ code.
>>2701>India went to the moon>turbo bullshitDo you realize that India just re-discovered the long lost NASA's technologies?
>>2702That's not even the same technology. Landing a rocket on the moon is a lot easier than putting a person on it.
Also it's not "long lost". It was just dismantled due to lack of continued interest/funding.
>>2703>That's not even the same technology.It is all the same tech, even old and contemporary. A rocket with gyro assisted guidance,

Also visually
