ChanServ changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

<superctr> <andlabs> https://www.ebay.com/itm/184803398549 "Korvet" <- That's the actual name of that computer though
<superctr> it's written in cursive cyrillic for some reason
<whitequark> it's an aesthetic
<andlabs> clearly they were trying to say something =P
<andlabs> which I guess was named after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvette but come on
<andlabs> not with that design

<andlabs> Pietro Gagliardi, [30.04.21 22:07] lol
<andlabs> Pietro Gagliardi, [30.04.21 22:07] because it's an interesting thing to find
<andlabs> Pietro Gagliardi, [30.04.21 22:07] I was about to link this, and say "hey do you want this" as a joke
<andlabs> Pietro Gagliardi, [30.04.21 22:07] **instantly purchased by someone else**
<andlabs> Pietro Gagliardi, [30.04.21 22:08] https://www.ebay.com/itm/224445508353?nordt=true so yeah, have one of those rare PCjrs that didn't come with any disk drives
<andlabs> BIN of $135 is goddamn lucky I'll say that much
<andlabs> meanwhile

<andlabs> Asus was founded in Taipei in 1989[10] by T.H. Tung, Ted Hsu, Wayne Hsieh and M.T. Liao,[11] all four having previously worked at Acer as hardware engineers. At this time, Taiwan had yet to establish a leading position in the computer-hardware business. Intel Corporation would supply any new processors to more established companies like IBM first, and Taiwanese companies would have to wait for approximately six months after IBM received their
<andlabs> engineering prototypes. According to company history, Asus created a motherboard prototype for using an Intel 486, but it had to do so without access to the actual processor. When Asus approached Intel to request a processor to test it, Intel itself had a problem with its own 486 motherboard. Asus solved Intel's problem and it turned out that Asus' own motherboard worked correctly without the need for further modification. Since then, Asus was
<andlabs> receiving Intel engineering samples ahead of its competitors.[12][13]
<andlabs> 1) ha I knew it I knew Asus and Acer were connected somehow
<andlabs> 2) woah now that's some origin story
<andlabs> "In January 2006, Asus announced that it would cooperate with Lamborghini to develop the VX laptop series.[16]" acer ferrari, asus lamborghini
<andlabs> acer apparently made porsche laptops too so I guess there goes a parallel trinity of italian sports cars
<andlabs> but wait that seems to be new
<andlabs> there's a "Porsche Design Book One" from 2017 but I can't figure out who actually built it
<andlabs> Quanta probably?

<cr1901_modern> Both Acer and ASUS make good machines still IMO. And I def prefer the TinkerBoard to RPi in principle.

<cr1901_modern> Gonna upload it to archive? Can't say I'm familiar w/ it?
<andlabs|2> cr1901_modern: what is that device with the font
<andlabs|2> also how powerful is TinkerBoard compared to the latest pis?
<andlabs|2> or is it more comparable to pine's arm64 systems?
<cr1901_modern> It's 32-bit ARM. More powerful than Pi 3, not as powerful as Pi 4. I've had it since late 2017 tho
<andlabs|2> ah
<andlabs|2> neat
<gewt> needs to be 36-bit to be a real computer
<gewt> ;D
