I love my AT&T Unix PC. I picked it up from someone on craigslist in 2018. It's fun to use and to see what computing was like before I was born.

I don't know too much about the machine's history or its place in the market, but to me it's a neat machine.


I used to use wxHexEditor and that had a feature where I could select a section of the file and highlight it in a color. When I was working to decode a certain file format, I used that to color-code different sections of the file and it was super useful. Those color-codes were stored in a separate file so you could load them back in.

This was one of the first - if not the first - CD I bought for myself, using my own (allowance) money! I was probably too young to listen to it, but blink-182 is my favorite band and I listened to this CD so many times that I pretty much memorized all the stupid banter between tracks.

I also liked sharing certain tracks with my friends when they came over...


Sorry, but Twitter is only for bots now. Real humans need not log on. /s

That being said, I assume that it flagged the amount/frequency of likes or whatever other activity and thought it was suspicious. Probably used Grok to do that and it obviously isn't good at that.


There was a PPC version of Windows NT, and yes someone put it on the Wii!

That was it, I knew someone ported an OS to a Wii recently, thank you


This is awesome! I can't wait to plug in my Wii and give it a try myself.


Is TBPN really considered "major" (seeing as most of the comments I've seen are how no one's heard of them before) or are you just being sarcastic?


> Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome[actually Chromium]-based browser

There's a reason I continue to use Firefox (with uBlock Origin) and will never switch.

Also, when I got laid off from a previous job, I made a LinkedIn profile to help find a new job. Once I found a new job, I haven't logged into LinkedIn since - that was almost 2 years ago.


I clicked on the link and the video title is "Decoding Escher's most mind-bending piece", which is a lot better. I also had no idea what "3B1B video" meant, apparently it's a channel called "3Blue1Brown".


I had MirageOS and Symbolic and PuzzPack (so I can play BlockDude) on my TI-83+!

Also, I'm glad this website is still up :-)
