Jyoti MishraI'm still really chuffed that Dan Totally Rad Show, #DanTrachtenburg, is now Dan Totally Brilliant Director Of Prey, Black Mirror, The Boys etc. ๐ฅฐ
The only warm geeky feels I can compare it to is when #ComputerChronicles used to be hosted by #GaryKildall.
Stefan PrandlWatching the early security episodes of #ComputerChronicles again. Did you know that the salient advice and general techniques of information security havenโt changed in at least 40 years? Wild.
Toni WestbrookThis is one of my favorite episodes of Computer Chronicles, it centers around software piracy/cracking. This clip shows an interaction between a pirate demonstrating the use of a cracking-oriented BBS, and an attorney talking about the legal issues. Not only is it a fascinating historical snapshot (1985) of something that is still obviously relevant, but I absolutely love how respectful Stewart and Gary always were, even if they didn't condone the subject matter. I really like this style and quality of technology journalism, I wish we had more of it today.

RicardusMore than Commodore, I would love to see something like Computer Chronicles brought back from the dead.
Maybe the Commodore people could even get Stewart Chefeit to do some of their youtube stuff. That could be fun.

The first of hopefully many hundreds of (weekly) posts to come. This is the first episode of the classic 80โs computer PBS program, which delved into what was at the time the state of the art. A time when computer companies and hackers were still figuring out what these things could do, and when many whacky and interesting ideas were attempted, to varying success. Join us as we relive computing history, one week at a time.
ITs History!World's first mass-market #laptop was the #T1100 computer by #Toshiba. Introduced with a 4.77MHz #CPU, 512KB of #RAM, #monochrome #LCD display, and battery capacity up to 7 hours, it changed the world of #IBM compatible portable computers. It even worked with #MS #Windows1 in 640x200px #CGA #graphics, but only within a narrow view angle https://youtu.be/qk04sDF5SrM
