  1. Pour fêter l'histoire de la micro-informatique européenne,
    Voici un petit hommage au Philips VG5000µ de 1984.

    Construit au Mans, équipé du Zilog Z80A à 4 MHz et du fameux chip graphique EF9345. C’était une machine taillée pour la crise . Elle exigeait d'acheter l'extension VG5216 juste pour pouvoir brancher des manettes... Le véritable esprit DIY des années 80 ! 🐘⚙️

    L'as-tu connu ?

  3. La Bowmar 901B n’était pas “smart”, mais elle était révolutionnaire : LED rouges, touches Klixon, et un cœur Texas Instruments.
    Un ancêtre lourd, cher… et absolument mythique.

  5. I really liked Google+. I wanted it to thrive. When it was there, I used to spend equal time on Instagram & Google+. Its UI was nice and clean. I rarely encountered any hatred or negativity on it. Pressing the +1 button was satisfying.

  7. 💡 Geeksta Weekly Fact Drop 💡

    The first-ever computer bug was literally a bug. 🪲💻

    In 1947, engineers at Harvard found a moth stuck inside a relay of the Mark II computer, causing it to malfunction. They removed it and taped it into their logbook, labeling it as the “first actual case of a bug being found.”

    Grace Hopper, one of the pioneers of computer science, helped popularize the term debugging and the rest is history!

    Crazy to think that software bugs started with real insects. 🧐
