Apparently In Japan They Had Access To This Link Cable That Allowed The PSone To Use A Cell Phone As

Take me apart and put me back together.

See the wires and circuits sparwled out on the floor.

As you begin this endeavor

Be sure to be clever

They don’t make the parts anymore.

This was the stance taken by my 10th grade history teacher after making us read Hiroshima by John Hersey.

yeah the cold war created thousands of nuclear weapons and killed millions in proxy wars but it also gave us wd-40 so it's impossible to tell if it's bad or not

Very nice. Okay, I just spoke with him because I didn’t want to give you the wrong information. The first machine was a Photon machine, it would have been the one built into a desk, the second machine was a CompuGraphic, now most of the machines you see online are just headliners, don’t ask me how that works, but there was more to it than just the desk and keyboard part. It would have been a large cabinet that accepted paper tape to go through the motions of setting everything up on the film. The last machine was a Xylogic, I can’t find any information on the machine, I can only get a tape controller card for a PDP 11.

Here is a website that was pretty informative for what the process may have looked like.

It’s nice to think about for sure. Believe me, I have been. But maybe this world is what we make it. We’ll have to see.

I am just tired from everything and everyone and I don’t know what to do anymore but I wish I could dissapear from this place and none could find me start in a new place I don’t know to explain

That’s not just any pinball machine. That’s a Williams 1992 “Fish Tales”. Completing the joke that they are fishing.

No trespassing signs are optional actually

What do you think would surprise a person from the 1950s most about modern computers?

How disposable they've become. We toss away computers like old socks.

How we got away from the model of timesharing for so long, only to go right back to cloud computing. People were so eager to personalize the experience, it's why things like the PDP-1 came into existance in the late 50s.

How much software went from this thing that was freely, openly shared as just a point of fact to a world where people pay for software regularly.

How much people trust a computer to think for them. A computer cannot think, it can only do math really fast, *you* have to think about how to make use of that platform to make your workload easier. People using computers in the 50s understood this implicitly, and now some people want shitty autocomplete to do the hard part for them. The human tasks that are worth doing, but that's a whole rant in itself.

How much computers just get powered off, or just run without doing anything, because of how plentiful and commonplace they are. In the 50s, no computer time was wasted, it was too expensive. If the machine was operational back then, it was busy.
