AMD entered the CPU market with reverse-engineered Intel 8080 clone 50 years ago

Link: tomshardware.com/pc-components
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

AMD first entered the CPU market with reverse-engineered Intel 8080 clone 50 years ago — the Am9080 cost 50 cents apiece to make, but sold for $700

In 1975, AMD could make these processors for 50 cents and sell them for $700, providing a great financial springboard to establish the company in PC CPU making.

Happy Holidays to all who celebrate,
in one way or another! 🎄✨

Whether it's spending time with your family, your chosen family, your friends, your partner(s), resting by yourself, treating yourself with some candy canes while at work, or posting on the Fediverse with us! :awesome:

No matter the reason for our social gatherings, they all play an essential role in strengthening the human bonds that unite us, and building communities.

Take this time to dream of a future where humanity values empathy, community, equality, consent, and solidarity above all 💚

Related to the quoted toot: I want to judge everyone describing themselves as Caucasian, but I only learned of its origin a year or two ago reading about Tolkien’s implicit racism jamesmendezhodes.com/blog/2019

The Seven Deadly Sins of the Web Experience (To Fix): timothychambers.net/2025/06/18. cc: @mastodonmigration @laurenshof @fediversenews @cheeaunChee Aun 🤔 @rolleRoni Laukkarinen @scottjenson @zeldman @imanijoyImani

The Seven Deadly UX Sins of the Fediverse Web Experience (To Fix)

So, confession time: I was recently helping a new client get set up on the Fediverse—guiding them through their first steps into our glorious decentralized galaxy. And seeing it all again through fresh eyes? Reader, it was brutal. So much of what should be table stakes for any social media UX in the year of our Lord 2025 still is missing or deeply broken still. I know progress has been made and a good fight, fought.

마스토돈은 제겐 너무 어렵고 진입장벽이 너무 높더라고요. 엄두가 안 난다는 표현이 마스토돈에 대한 제 감정에 가장 가깝겠어요. 탈중앙화는 겁나게 많은 중앙일 뿐이라는 걸 체감했어요. 사용하던 인스턴스가 통째로 사라진 일도 있었고요. 언젠가 현생에 여유가 생기면 다시 시작할지도 모를 일이겠지만 적어도 주력은 블루스카이에 두려고요.

I don't know if people are aware of this Firefox addon that brings discoverability for personal websites that have identity confirmation links to Mastodon profiles: StreetPass for Mastodon.

It's pretty good, it allowed me to find quite a number of people based on incidentally reading their blogs.
