why is "up 8 days" circled?
my shitty core2 duo laptop is at 27 days, only that low because i took it on a business trip a month ago

because it's from a movie which implies the machine was abandoned in 1982, and discovered again in 2010, so it should have an uptime of at least 28 years

had potential

>implying computers cant have multiple cpu architectures

Why is bareknuckle green on black interfaces a common retrofuturistic characteristic?
We've gone the opposite with complicated but AESTHETIC OSs with complex programs. They were a bad idea too, as they're made users less efficient and more reliant on stupid dumbed down programs.

omg those fucing retards
its like the one fucking detail that would have been coolest to get right

Might be useful for admins of large networks.

In this day and age the best interface is a terminal multiplexer like GNU Screen and a file manager like vifm.

alright, it is meant to be a super high tech machine, so i'll just call it questionable that it lists both (they're both still too new, though)

There's a lot of money in pandering to the stupid.

Well to be fair, for a time this is what a lot of screens could only really show, either black and green , black and amber , or black and white.

>3d file manager
>Without having to buy an indigo
fuck yeah

That's a 3D display server, a full Xorg replacement that comes with a 3D file manager.
A 3D file manager only is this

How dope would it be if terminals could draw graphics other than text characters.

see DEC sixel graphics

Honest question, how do you know all of this? Did you just memorize those dates or are you just old and happen to remember the years?

It's a Unix system
I know this

Geometry graphics like ReGIS? Pictures like sixels? Some framebuffer environments support them like yaft for sixel) and hterm for regis, also Xterm supports modes for displaying those.

i knew a couple by heart, like Xorg coming out in 2004 (since it's the first year i used linux, so it was hard to miss)
i386 i knew was later than 1982, but not exactly how much later
the other two stood out enough to double check their dates on wikipedia, scsi i was really unsure on, but i looked it up just out of curiosity
i'm not that old.

Only a divine intellect could design such a thing

you mean a graphics terminal?
theres a few options for those, such as sixel graphics, tektronics vector graphics, or even, y'know... X

Just looked up ReGIS and that looks dope as shit

Although I can't imagine any use from me other than just showing off

I can't speak for everybody but I do imagine a reason and has to do with work
>gnuplot
Welp, is not hard to imagine what I would use this for

Is that the only difference? I get the feeling that they actually do different things, but I'm not very knowledgeable.

Idiot capitalists came to realize that computers could be used as a massive money making platform if mass consumer adoption occurred. For that to occur software needed to be usable without having any idea whatsoever as to what it is doing. This lead into what we have today.

Oh, but you're wearing a dress on our first date.

Graphics terminals have been around even longer than character cell terminals have.

pretty sure that's a display simulator written for DOS machines

That looks like something from parallel universe.
It even got these Unix abbreviations... or soviet ones? Soviet Unix abbreviations!

Self-documenting applications and proper multitasking are generally preferable in use cases where computers are a tool and accessory to the job rather than a lifestyle or central to your career.

it's not even a valid uname string though considering it has two architectures and they obviously just vomited a bunch of shit in there to make it look technical

that's from TRON isn't it

Yeah.

that can't be true
how did gnome and gtk work before 2004 then

they're not even right, iirc the timer in the scene was exactly correct

we need a wayland compositor like this

Before Xorg it was XFree86, a different X server implementation. The switch happened since XFree86 did some license fuckery that made it nonfree as I recall.

The 80386 came out in 1985 but it took a year or so before machines using it became available. Some early steppings had bugs that broke some 32-bit mode stuff, they got stamped "16-bit only" and sold to cheap clone makers.

so that's why a bunch of stuff is named xf86

You're thinking of fsn on IRIX. It was a lot better and more usable than any 3D file manager available for Linux.

The original Star Wars arcade cabinet was like this. Totally awesome!

I think Compaq was the only company to use the 386 before 1987 when everyone else started finally throwing it into their high-end machines.

I think this GUI is originally made by Soviets parallel with development of Buran spacecraft, there was book available online about it some decade ago but I can't find it anymore. It really looks like something from alternative future.

It is but it looks like real thing.

So would that OS be the...

I approve of our new Commiepunk overlords.

Fucking Airbus.
Why Soviets NEVER had home computers, that anyone can afford?

because you don't own anything under communism. it's pretty self-explanatory.

Yeah baby, we made the UI from tron real! It just need to be more usable tho

What a fucking fags.
Russia could have been IT shithole, like India or US, but no, it is simply a shithole

They didn't run out of money under communism, it was under capitalism
