    1980s tech CPU

    So it can already run Wolfenstein and Linux…

    The story of the modern PC is about hobbyist, in my opinion. It was a bunch of tech guys slapping things together, figuring it out as they went and cowboy stuff like writing specifications on the plane on the way to a conference. I understand what you’re saying about the limitations around design and production… but these things aren’t impossible just difficult.

    Maybe a new discovery in physics or transistor manufacturing will be the key to this new era. Or a bunch of things like that adding up over time until one weirdo figures it out and changes the world.
