Il 13 ottobre 1994 Netscape Communications annunciò che avrebbe reso gratuito, per uso non commerciale, il browser Netscape Navigator 1.0, poi rilasciato il 15 dicembre. Considerato una pietra miliare del Web, introdusse innovazioni come il rendering progressivo delle pagine e il supporto per immagini JPEG inline, rivoluzionando l’esperienza di navigazione dell’epoca. #accaddeoggi #retrocomputing #retroinformatica@computer

And now for something completely meta: Interlisp-10 inside Medley Interlisp.The terminal emulator of the window at center is connected to SDF's PDP-10 system running Interlisp-10 under TOPS-20 (TWENEX). The shell with the terminal emulator and Medley Interlisp are running on Linux.#interlisp #twenex #dec #retrocomputing

The Computer History Museum released an oral history interview with Ken Thompson, over four hours of video.https://computerhistory.org/blog/a-computing-legend-speaks#unix #retrocomputing

@amoroso @thelastpsion I greatly appreciate @dashie 's work keeping this system operational and for attracting such a decent, friendly, and interesting community. I feel lucky to be here and happy to pay a little each month to keep the lights on.

@amoroso @interlisp @rc2014 yeah, last maintenance window fixed several issues regaring connectivity etc.

What do Alice's Restaurant and Bonnie and Clyde have to do with Interlisp? Find out in this post, which also features a cameo of Lynn Conway and John Osterhout.https://www.markstefik.com/?page_id=359#interlisp #oop #retrocomputing

@paulrickards you cracked the secret formula! Now tell us the details. TPU settings?

｢ Solaris 2.1 for x86, also known as SunOS 5.1, was Sun’s first entry into the PC market (technically it was SunSoft, a subsidiary of Sun Microsystems, who released Solaris). However, it wasn’t Sun’s first x86 operating system. In the late 1980s, Sun sold 386i workstations based on Intel 386 processors. The 386i workstations were not PC compatible and ran SunOS 4.0, a BSD UNIX derivative with many custom Sun enhancements ｣https://www.os2museum.com/wp/pc-unix-history/solaris-2-1-for-x86/#solaris #unix #retrocomputing

This curious 1980 book was published in the golden era of bedroom programming and explored many ways of doing business with home computers, from writing software and documentation to consulting and other services. In those simpler times little equipment and investments were needed to get started.https://openlibrary.org/works/OL6569385W/Home_computers_can_make_you_rich?edition=ia%3Ahomecomputerscan0000weis#retrocomputing

🗓️ 7 ottobre 1954 – I ricercatori IBM sostituiscono le valvole termoioniche del calcolatore IBM 604 con i transistor. L’esperimento non rende la macchina più piccola né più veloce, ma ne riduce il consumo energetico al 5% rispetto all’originale. Il successo porta nel 1958 al lancio dell’IBM 608, primo calcolatore commerciale interamente a transistor.@computer #accaddeoggi #retrocomputing #retroinformatica

Andrew Lloyd rediscovers the ruins of the early web.People didn't necessarily care about appealing to big online followings or going viral. They made things for the sake of it.https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250731-a-journey-into-the-heart-of-the-forgotten-internet#web #retrocomputing

@philcowans ☝️ Time Reshared, mentioned in the previous toot, is a rare retrocomputing gem: a new blog that explores time-sharing operating systems.https://timereshared.com#TimeSharing #os #retrocomputing #blogs

My class showed some interest in setting up a BBS today, so I have that very interesting distraction looming. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears. I was a BBS user but never an operator. #retrocomputing #compsci

2 ottobre 1934#accaddeoggiNasce Edward Fredkin, fisico e informatico pioniere della “fisica digitale”. Dal MIT contribuì ai primi sistemi di calcolo e all’AI. Con Toffoli ideò il “Fredkin Gate”, dimostrando il calcolo reversibile. Teorizzò l’universo come un computer, dove l’informazione è più fondamentale della materia.Visionario sull’AI, fu professore al MIT pur senza laurea, restando figura chiave dell’informatica.@computer #retrocomputing #retrocomputer #retroinformatica

V86 is an x86 emulator that runs in the browser. It supports a selection of preconfigured historical and current operating systems, including a few rarely emulated ones such as Windows CE, and you can upload your own operating system image.V86 is similar to the popular PCjs.https://oses.ioblako.com#x86 #emulator #retrocomputing

1 ottobre 1954#accaddeoggiIBM annuncia il computer Modello 705, a valvole termoioniche e character-oriented (7 bit, parole da 35). Il Modello I archivia 20.000 caratteri (590.000$), il II e III rispettivamente 40.000 e 80.000. Moltiplica due numeri da 10 cifre in 0,0024 s. Primo computer commerciale con memoria a nucleo magnetico, sostituisce l’IBM 702 a tubi catodici.@computer #retrocomputing #retrocomputer #retroinformatica

30 settembre 1988 #accaddeoggiIBM annuncia la spedizione di 3 milioni di personal computer PS/2, successori di PC, XT e AT. Presentati nel 1987, introdussero la Micro Channel Architecture, diversa dallo standard ISA usato dai cloni. Resero comuni i floppy da 3,5" e la grafica VGA, e furono i primi IBM con il chip Intel 80386 e il sistema operativo OS/2, che permise anche l’uso del mouse, diventato poi periferica standard.@computer #retrocomputing #retrocomputer #retroinformatica

Did some more #EGA #pixelart on the this classic shot and, most importantly, coded up a fancy EGA fade out effect by first ordering all colors by perceived lightness and swapping to the next-lower during the fade out until all are black. 😊👍#dos #retrocomputing #programming
