Lilbits: The Mac Pro reaches the end of the line

Apple is pulling the plug on the Mac Pro, more than 20 years after launching its first high-performance desktop computer with an iconic “cheese grater” design. The company has released several major updates over the years, but the last big change to the design came in 2019, and the last processor update came in 2023 when the company made the move from Intel to Apple Silicon.

But the newer Mac […]

Then something for the #Verilog and #Factorio crowd to bond over: a tool for taking a Verilog chip design and putting into the game... as a functional factory.

Demos of its capabilities go all the way up to a 32-bit #RISCV CPU...
