AFAIK the home computer revolution was mostly feeding on an overcapacity of slightly outdated 8-bit chips which suddenly became very cheap at the start of the 80s, and hobbyists and enthusiasts started to build all sorts of awesome things with this &#39;junk&#39;.<br/><br/>Maybe we&#39;ll see a similar Cambrian Explosion after the AI bubble pops and suddenly there&#39;s a shitton of just slightly outdated GPUs and memory flooding the market waiting to be used for actually interesting stuff :) 2026-01-01T15:10:48+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfdx0dzl64hn5s0p7hqpdy77h0gweskjd045szlk5zwkzt049da4czypxhtcal3w956tsftsru0yvg9erh7fuwn3q000zgd9kdj8xhsae0jsxqlsm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstzpngd82q4y0ngp3zgey9jkgvs6x8pd088fjfl94v8ul20p7ggsg8qvm6y'>nevent1q…vm6y</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>IMHO this &#39;war on personal computing&#39; had been going on in the background for decades with varying intensity, similar to how DDOS attacks happen all the time without bringing the whole internet down (mostly at least). Personal computing might go back to be the niche/hobbyist activity it was in the 70s to 90s, but it won&#39;t entirely disappear. I guess it might become an expensive hobby again though :/ 2026-01-01T15:01:33+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrq5zruhj9vr3k4kukye2l80xteuh40stxejx4rrmuwe5rl72qd6qzypxhtcal3w956tsftsru0yvg9erh7fuwn3q000zgd9kdj8xhsae0jksa0gl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvfuawze2dh47495w5l0ptvezwakklneuxw7uhtlrmzegfwu6sg3cevgr7t'>nevent1q…gr7t</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>...could also be setbox ;)<br/><br/>...apparently the &amp; glyph is derived from the &#39;et&#39; characters, and the official (although uncommon) name in German is still `Et-Sign`: <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et-Zeichen">https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et-Zeichen</a> 2025-11-27T20:04:23+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstgajckvd052pqxg5gd79m3aynt8zfwwduzshd2p6ugc9pdyeyg3szypxhtcal3w956tsftsru0yvg9erh7fuwn3q000zgd9kdj8xhsae0jt8jl94 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswu330uzukxpcwwkw7q99ft34305y58awzsj6zyrmz7dyx0sjfsesuekt3v'>nevent1q…kt3v</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I have it on good authority that the Windows team is already working on a comprehensive fix for the blue-screen-of-death problem by changing the hostile blue background color to a friendly pink. 2025-01-15T13:57:10+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfa2xf6x784x2u0qntmrc06sycjdg366v4phy0h32fs0t3a7ytcygzypxhtcal3w956tsftsru0yvg9erh7fuwn3q000zgd9kdj8xhsae0j7n902m I have switched the Chips emulator debug UI to the Dear ImGui docking branch, and added imgui.ini persistency via LocalStorage.
