Since its debut in 1992 by IBM, ThinkPad PCs have been a symbol of business computing. I still have an IBM Thinkpad 380ED from 1997. It's 2.5" thick, weighs 7.5#, and cost $3100. It has the little red eraser TrackPoint in the middle of the keyboard.

The #Intel 286 was an odd one. It had a 24-bit addressing mode (improved from the 8086/8088's 20-bit addressing) with protected virtual memory, so that was cool. But using this mode was a one-way trip: the only way to get back to the 8086/8088 “real” mode was to reboot!
But the #IBM engineers designing the PC/AT had other plans…
The number of code pages defined by #IBM for its mainframes and #IBMPC is absolutely staggering.

@alatariel You mean the #IBM3592 / #IBM #TS1170?
I mean they are the go-to accessory for #zArchitecture mainframes...

@glitzersachen @Yuki propblem is that AFAIK all #LTO drive mechanisms are made exclusively by #IBM and at a pretty premium.
And it has this nice booklet inside published by Bell Labs, with Max V Matthews as technical consultant
I have a large collection of #electronic and #computer #music #vinyl #records. I had a radio show on FM on the subject for about a decade. So it is always exciting to find something I don't have, especially early stuff. Found this 10" boxed "Music from Mathematics" from 1960, bell labs. Much more rare than 1962 Decca 12". Never seen it before. Found in a local shop, of all places, hiding inside a vinyl carry case.

In the late '70s & early '80s there were a lot of ppl saying that #computers were useless toys. And they were mostly right at the time. #Communication was and is the no1 killer app for computers (no, not #games). But that didn't fully arrive until 1997 for most ppl, 20 years later. Also consider that when capable #smartphones came around in 2007, people stopped using computers (now, 90% of overall usage is on #phones).

Had coffee with a guy this morning, he mentioned os/2. Do you remember and know what that is?
"A passionate enthusiast has just built an entire processor—yes, not a development board, not a microcontroller, but a full-on, instruction-capable, memory-addressing CPU using nothing but old memory chips and logic components from the 8-bit era."

Quoting Sergey Brin: "The use of the term genocide in the context of Gaza is very offensive to Jews, I would not rely on an anti-Semitic organization like the UN."
One might argue that companies profiting from genocide may react defensively... #ProjectNimbus is a $1.2 billion cloud and #AI contract between #Google, #Amazon, and #Israel that has been criticized internationally for enabling Israel's war on #Gaza, including surveillance and AI-driven tactics that contribute to the ongoing #genocide.
Google is to Israel what #IBM was to #Germany in the 1930s—tech support. See https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/114715091687865234

IBM launches Power11, vague rumblings about new Raptor workstations while IBM continues to not care about Power workstations
Ah, Power. The architecture that has so much going for it, and despite concerted efforts from very dedicated people, IBM seems to be hellbent on preventing anyone from expanding POWER beyond exp
