📅 This day - on July 3, 1991, Apple and IBM signed a letter of intent to form the AIM alliance, which included Motorola. This alliance aimed to create an industry-wide open-standard computing platform based on the POWER instruction set architecture.
💻 The primary goal was to design a new hardware platform and develop a next-generation operating system that would unify the computing industry. IBM planned to bring the Macintosh OS into the enterprise market, while Apple aimed to be a major customer for the new POWER hardware.
🛠️ IBM and Motorola allocated 300 engineers to co-develop chips at a joint facility in Austin, Texas. Motorola would manufacture and sell these chips to Apple and other customers. Over 400 people from the three companies worked to create a unified corporate culture, promising to "change the landscape of computing in the 90s."
🤝 Despite initial enthusiasm, relations soured, especially after Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1998. Jobs ended the Power Macintosh clone licensing, leading to a contentious relationship with Motorola. This resulted in Apple being demoted to "just another customer" for PowerPC CPUs. Apple and IBM briefly expelled Motorola from the alliance, forcing it to halt PowerPC production until it was reinstated in 1999.

I love it when my friends comment on how I'm randomly online on my Xbox account but I test consoles as part of my job so I get paid to play rdr2 on company time 💪
#rdr2 is actually the best game for us to use because it really puts the specs of the consoles to test so we use it as part of our guideline#the red dead test we call it lol#because we know the game was specifically made for console so if there's any lag or screen tearing then we know somethings up with it#the guidelines are usually along the lines of is the hardware ok? is the power supply ok? does it run rdr2? ok all good then#in basic terms lol#<3#mick squeaks#rdr2#red dead redemption 2#arthur morgan#red dead redemption community#funnies

hey mecha, do you think you could beat metal sonic in a 1v1
#mecha sonic#metal sonic#sonic fanart#sonic fandom#welcome back to the worlds worst siblings#also weclome back to: weird written text for characters who dont have normal speech. wehehe#it was fun for fake pep's garbled distorted sounds so i do it again for metal's angry computer noises#metal being mute is such an important part of his character to me.......#the way i see it is like hes perfectly capable of speech he just doesn't have the hardware for it#but he still tries. with his angry computer beep boops. n' those sounds r what the text like this is meant to represent visually#n e way the actual code is just morse but using a couple sets of different symbols.#'' i could run circles around him'' / ''he wouldn't land a hit on me''#mecha knows the audience can't understand metal. but he can#so he's continuing to present his own answer while also sorta underhandedly replying to metal#anyway good ask. they should kill eachother.#they're speed+agility vs. power+defense builds to me. so the real answer for 'who would win'#is whoever manages to stay level-headed and not get pissed off the longest. which could go either way depending on the circumstances.#arting#msab

that may be why they cut out a lot of the sheikah tech, they can use any reason they'd like, but I think ultimately they just didn't want to deal with both sheikah and zonai at the same time, even if the narrative kinda suffers for it. had to cut corners for whatever reason
#time or hardware or man power#some of the answers received feel a little placating#but i think the real reason is that They Did Not Want To Deal With That Shit#in interviews I mean

what’s your favourite video game :)
oh wow, someone else who who plays video games!
yeah, I have a few! When I moved up here I was only allowed to take a few things, but I managed to bring a hard drive just full with like, old, classical games. You do not wanna know how much it cost me, but most of them [besides a few corrupted ones :( ] work fine when emulated.
But, yeah! Favourite game definitely changes, but probably the Oldest Scrolls series? Even though they made about 16 different versions of the fifth instalment which - when you’re trawling through these ancient file directories - can be irritating and confusing. Still I have hours and hours sunk into it. Infact, I can find the exact amount, if you give me two moments.

I would very much like to infoblast about Raven Beak's powersuit upgrade library with all the optimizations, QoL tweaks, security features, and the myriad integration systems Samus is currently lacking with her babby suit, but alas. Time restrictions.
#txt#not art#don't get me wrong it's a good suit. but samus is running on old hardware (ruins test suit) that's literally been dissected (Fusion)#and augmented by comparatively inferior (at least in Raven Beak's 'humble' opinion) GalFed tech#and she's had her arsenal stripped down to the hard-coded essentials more times than should be possible for any reasonable warrior#barring the whole 'Metroid powers ate my firmware updates' thing from Dread#Raven Beak looks at that technical hodge podge of a suit which can apparently have some features remotely restricted by the Feds at will#and he's like 'girl you need an upgrade'#he can understand the whole Metroid DNA eating your suit thing but the rest of it he chalks up to the powersuit equivalent#of a faulty hard drive being dropped on the hard dirty ground and all of the data within going the way of the Titanic#he's like a gazillion years old so all he sees is an eight year old dropping their Gameboy Advance SP with Pokemon Crystal in the game slot#staring blankly at the screen as they boot up the system to find that their entire save is gone
