RE: https://chaos.social/@Natanox/116630882386828954
lol I had a 3dfx card before nvidia ever *made* a gpu. I believe Voodoo cards were the first 3D graphics accelerators as we think of them today, at least for PCs[1].
I seem to recall that *maybe* nvidia coined the term GPU? I know they weren’t called that at the start.
[1] #SiliconGraphics was doing fancy stuff way before PCs of course

CW: meme, Nvidia, historical revisionism for profit
I can hardly put in words how much I hate these dirtbags by now.
I hope Nvidia crashes and burns and Jensen gets hit by the blast. The situation for consumer hardware can hardly get worse anyway, the US economy won't survive the #AI collaps anyway.
Worst thing is how their slopmachines will pick this line up and regurgitate it as supposed truth now.

Another day, another 30 year old computer getting in on the IPv6 action. This time it's an SGI O2 running IRIX 6.5.
It only took me a few hours to setup a network installation server for the software and remember how to use
instand find the rightsystunebut hey, now we're golden. :sgi:(Install
eoe.sw.ipv6, reboot,systune ip6_enable 1, reboot) -
I got bored of trying to make AppleTalk sing and dance on Windows NT and 2000 so I switched to an OS with a good native implementation: IRIX. :sgi:

This was a delightful read, tech is still cool from time to time, if you know where to look and no money is involved.
Which is another way of saying, if you have some spare time you could also spend your evening reading a blog post about decompiling Silicon Graphics' PROMs. This is fedi's bread and butter.

Does anyone else remember wearing one of these in the early to mid 90s?
I only got to wear one once, at Epcot Center. I got the chance to explore some Egyptian tomb and it got me hooked on VR ever since.

"ps. m88k has been the most worthwhile example, since some insane parts
of that architecture permits Miod to find a MI bug weekly."I just love that quote.

Silicon Graphics defined high-performance computing for visual effects and 3D graphics in the 90s. Their workstations powered CGI in Jurassic Park and Terminator 2, and they helped pioneer OpenGL, still a standard in graphics today.
Now barely a memory, only its website survives; 1 in a Trillion on the #WaybackMachine ⤵️

And now I wonder how hard it could be to patch a 68K silicon graphics IRIS 3000 to run classic mac os. I doubt I'll have time in my lifetime to look into that, but still making QuickDraw work with a bitplane graphic adapter would be interesting…

To all professionals and retirees in the #VFX industry, join the #vfxPeopleChallenge by posting photos of your work environment (including yourself, #vfxPeople, your #studio, your desk at home and even your pets). The goal is to showcase that people are working on movies and shows that are believed to have no #noCGI!
Thanks for your participation and boots!

2000, VideoEffecto in #Barcelona working on advertisements with a #SiliconGraphics #Octane -
@lauren @PeterLudemann @not2b I used to joke about how without fail every other generation (Challenge-Origin server and Indigo-O2 desktop era) of Silicon Graphics machines - the power supplies would either just die (no blinking lights) or catch on fire (literal flames shooting out). #sgi #silicongraphics A smart software engineer whose deskside machine caught on fire in his office calmly rolled it outside, removed the disks to save their work, THEN used an extinguisher on it.

So... Anyone out there have any hot tips on debugging a dead #SiliconGraphics power supply??

I figured it couldn’t hurt to drop in to HARD OFF on my walk back from the mall.
Wandering through the Junk PC aisle, a double-take, what is that teal beauty on the bottom shelf?
A SiliconGraphics O2? In MY rural Japanese city? How did that get here? The tag showed it had been there for over a week. At $60 I had to give it a home!
Lugging it home in the 31+C heat, squeezing in on the tram and dashing through the rain was a slog but it made it home!
-
Ummm… WTF???
(this one is getting its own thread once I get it home and take a closer look)

Hello vintage computer friends... I have a lil SGI O2 workstation with a Dallas clock chip — it's the cheeky type of chip with an internal battery. I do Not Like This.
Are they known to leak? Do we remove the battery from the chip? Replace the chip with something else?
Thank you, brain friends!!

Heute ist der SGI 1600SW ein begehrtes Sammlerstück, weil er seiner Zeit voraus war und immer noch ein cooles Stück Design und Technik aus der goldenen Ära von Silicon Graphics darstellt.
🖥️ Es wurden ca. 50.000 Stück hergestellt.
Kein Massenprodukt, sondern ein High-End-Teil für Grafikprofis, CAD-Ingenieure und Hollywood-Studios.

Warum ist der Silicon Graphics 1600SW Monitor so besonders?
🖥️ 1600 x 1024 Auflösung – In den späten 90ern war das ultra-scharf!
🖥️ Superflach (für die Zeit) – Während andere noch klobige CRTs nutzten, brachte SGI ein LCD-Panel mit einer damals revolutionären 16:10-Bildschirmfläche.
🖥️ Spezielles OpenLDI-Interface – Kein normaler VGA/DVI-Anschluss, sondern ein proprietärer Anschluss, den man nur mit Adaptern oder SGI-Grafikkarten nutzen kann.

Warum ist die SGI O2 so cool?
🔹 Innovatives Design: Schaut aus wie ein futuristischer Toaster, ist aber eine High-End-Workstation.
🔹 IRIX OS: UNIX mit Stil – und einer GUI, die sich auch heute noch sehen lassen kann.
🔹 Grafikpower: 3D, Video, und Bildbearbeitung, bevor Photoshop cool war.
🔹 Nostalgie-Boost: Einmal hochgefahren, fühlt man sich instant ins Silicon-Valley der 90er katapultiert.

SGI O2 ist zurück aus der Zukunft!
Silicon Graphics bringt 1996 O2 auf den Markt. Eine kompakte Workstation mit mehr Multimediapower als so manches heutige Smartphone und der Monitor ist ein echtes Stück High-End-Geschichte! 🎬✨
