My water heater and heat pump have onboard computers. Before the houses expected demise, the home owner will be doing retro computing. Soon all of us will be doing #retrocomputing except no 8bit games, just HVAC and appliances
#Retrocomputing
#NASA fixed Voyager 1.
Scolded for a deployment that went 42 hours outside of the 2 hour deployment window. (joking here, it takes 44 hours to deploy & get signal back from the computer, round trip)
#govtech #retrocomputing (Hardware from 1977)
What computer will still be able to run in 100 years? I mean, if the chip factories stopped churnin out chips and we had to get by with the current stock, is there any limiting factor?
30 years & the plastic and batteries and capacitors start to fail at high rates
