🇯🇵 The Sony NEWS (Network Engineering Workstation) is a series of UNIX-based workstations and servers developed by Sony Corporation. Introduced in 1987, the NEWS series represented Sony's ambitious entry into the high-performance computing market, targeting professionals in engineering, scientific research, and academia.
💾 In the late 1980s, the computing world was rapidly evolving with a growing demand for powerful workstations capable of handling complex tasks. Sony, primarily known for its consumer electronics, ventured into this niche market with the NEWS series to provide high-end workstations for network computing and engineering applications. The initial model, the NEWS NWS-800, was unveiled in 1987. It was designed to compete with established UNIX workstations from companies like Sun Microsystems and Silicon Graphics.
💻 The early Sony NEWS models were based on the MIPS architecture, a series of RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) processors known for their performance efficiency. Later models transitioned to other architectures, including the Intel x86 family. The NEWS series ran on a customized version of UNIX, providing a robust and versatile environment for software development, data processing, and scientific computations. The workstations boasted impressive processing power for their time. For instance, the NWS-800 featured a 16.67 MHz R3000A processor and supported up to 24 MB of RAM, which was substantial in the late 1980s.
🖥 High-resolution graphics capabilities were a standout feature of the NEWS series, catering to applications requiring detailed visual representations, such as CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and multimedia development. As the name suggests, network engineering was a core focus. The NEWS workstations were designed with advanced networking capabilities, including support for various networking protocols, which was critical for collaborative engineering projects and research. The machines were equipped with sizable storage options, including SCSI hard drives and support for external storage devices, ensuring ample space for large datasets and software applications.
⚙️ The Sony NEWS workstations found use in numerous specialized fields. They were particularly popular in academic research labs, animation studios, and engineering firms where high computational power and graphical capabilities were essential. Despite their advanced features, the NEWS series faced stiff competition from other established UNIX workstation manufacturers. However, they carved out a niche market due to Sony's reputation for quality and innovation. Over time, the landscape of computing evolved, and the demand for proprietary workstations diminished in favor of more standardized PC-based systems. Sony eventually discontinued the NEWS line, but the series left a lasting impression on the high-performance workstation market.
🌐 The Sony NEWS series represents a fascinating chapter in the history of computing, showcasing Sony's foray into the realm of high-performance workstations. With its robust UNIX environment, advanced graphics, and strong network capabilities, the NEWS series was a testament to Sony's engineering prowess and innovation during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Today, it remains a memorable part of the evolution of workstations, reflecting the dynamic nature of technological advancement.

""Why doesn't Eddie just walk around wearing a Bluetooth to pretend he's on the phone when talking to Venom?""
He's from New York.
Do I need to say anything else? New Yorkers don't care if you're talking to yourself, they won't even look at you.

I introduce Sir Silhouette, otherwise known as Silly. A patient and well meaning man with an appreciation for all things big and small
Currently he heals from an abusive relationship, he seeks out the things he enjoys and keeps his positive attitude for life despite this. He has been through much worse than this in the past however a wound is a wound and things hurt even if they're not as scary as horrifying past things, this is something he is trying to process; he can still be hurt by things that are not as severe as what has hurt him in the past. That being said, the relationship he has left in itself is not to be overlooked either, that is something he is trying to stop doing because it has hurt him a lot.
He is quite therapeutic for me.
He is gentle and will continue to fight against his developing feelings of hostility.
He will not let cruel people make him lose hope and trust in the world.
Wonderful Silly

Spanish: Acá lo pediste. espero no haber tardado mucho en esto, estoy pensando en hacer comisiones pero estoy dudando porque siento que mi estilo no es muy bueno. dejando de lado todo eso, me gusto mucho dibujarlos, de ahí el único que conozco es Doomslayer <3
English: Here you asked for it. i hope i didn't take too long on this, i'm thinking about doing commissions but i'm hesitating because i feel my style isn't good. leaving all that aside, i really like drawing them, the only one i know is Doomslayer. <3
