Bring any company back from the dead thread....

I was just gonna say Commodore too! Because the C64 & Amiga were the greatest machines of their day (the Amiga was generations ahead).

Still have my 500 in storage somewhere. Sans disc drive though, as i took to it with a screwdriver, absolutely brimming with confidence that i could fix it. I couldnt.

IBM ThinkPad, before lenovo, ThinkPads were the only real competition to PowerBooks and Macbooks in terms of solid durable industrial design that was also highly functional (if not better with the magnesium and composite reinforced chassis). The 12 inch convertibles were seeydy as heck.

Ooh almost forgot the little lights built into the screen bezels you could switch on for night time use

AOL the most abused internet service provider on the planet

A campaign to collect one million AOL CDs has got off to a good start.

The two Californian men who kicked off the campaign have now gathered more than 80,000 of the promotional discs.

yes I heard about this news before. I hate AOL so much!

LucasArts! Back when it meant quality games.. not just Starwars games.

 

Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, etc.

 

The fact Disney opened up the classic LucasArts games, even to gog.com, is a positive sign.

The BeOS company!

 

hahah.  I have that BeOS in my storage.  I might consider to install it in VM.

 

I have DOS, Windows 3.1 and up, including Windows 10. They are on floppies, discs...

 

I have some Linux distros such as RED HAT, Ubuntu, etc.

 

Fun old days.

    • "I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief" In the words of Sterling Archer... "Phrasing!"
    • For me, the fundamental problems with these "smartglasses" is that they really don't work well for people with significant prescriptions and massively up the price if you use attached lenses if they have displays, and if they don't, then they're not actually "smart" anything, rather just connecting to your phone and relaying voice to an AI. In a few cases like this, they throw in small cameras to feed video to the AI. All around, these feel like both a solution looking for a problem, and the problems it tries to solve seem more easily solved by different approaches and designs. Oddly, if the rumours are true, Apple may actually have invented something for once and it kind of does this right: put cameras in ear buds and manage the interface to AI exactly as most of us do: tapping on an ear bud and saying "Hey Google" or "Hey Siri." That makes them compatible with almost everyone, can double up as a hearing assist device, an impaired vision assist device, a "smart" device... and answer your phone and play music. That just seems like a better solution all around.
    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
