This is so cool

What an omission. Lacking knowledge of a continent. It needs more training.

Put elite on!!

Why does he prefer a simple design? a simple design is boring

I was initially confused what Lyons was referring to, as a lot of places have a Lions Club and I thought it was that: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions_Clubs_International

Tape drive in a draw may sound clever, and it takes up less space. But when the tech has to figure out why a tape will not load they lose their first most valuable troubleshooting tool, observation ! PDP-11/45 was my favorite machine to work on as a tech. And knowing it as well as I do provided me with a fun career. DEC BADGE # 7636. By the way, I have a DEC magtape of the ASCII images from 1974 or so. Don't know which computer museum to send it to. Including Spock holding the Enterprise model.

Didn't understand any of this but still enjoyed it!🙂

Born in late '81 and I can just about recall using a BBC micro in school. There was a game and I can't remember the name - I think it involved hexagons or cells that you needed to capture or invade. Hopefully that rings a bell for someone. The computer that really sticks in my mind was the Archimedes. A favourite memory of mine was of our primary school head teacher showing us the game Lemmings .

This brought me unfound joy to listen to.

What a wonderful personal story and background told by Ed Smith. Until now I had never neard about him and his wonderful achievements. Thank you.

I heard of Brooklyn in the early '60s and was glad I lived near open fields.

I paid $3000 to get a 5 mb hard drive for my PET. I now have 5 mb files

This is the most underrated channel I am always glad to remember that I'm subscribed to :)

Even the UI is perfect, even its modern version still uses the same principle.

Didn't the graph showing the 10 month break in reading u-boat codes/transmissions and tonnage sunk correspond to a huge increase in u-boat construction and commisioning? Can someone explain how enigma/lorentz code breaking knocked 2 years off of the war, its often parroted but never with a follow up explanation.

My understanding of our slow rail system is mostly due to freight trains using the same tracks.

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread! 🍞 ... infused with sleeping powder.

Oh my God Roger Wilson!

One of the most gripping things I've seen on CZcams If not THE most gripping.

what a nice guy with fun and interesting stories. that headteacher persona conceals the heart of a mischief-maker

Not sure why he kept using "added" when he mean "EORed". It's a computing audience and he not shy about using no more obscure terms like Chi-1 Chi-2, so why not just use EOR after explaining what a binary EOR operation is? Using the term "adding" easily confuses casual listeners.

Ol Henry is keeping them company.

Great video! Lovely to see you guys going through the options like normal people would do. Cobra was a good game based on the Stallone film. Didn't have much to do with the film though.

Truly fascinating ❤

does anybody know how to program this game demo i got from a magazine?? its called high noon and its around about 5 or 6 pages long - i cant code it properly because some of the numbers and digits are not printed clearly ?? can any1 help me out here please ? thanks........

Thank you for share!

Not only is this a fantastic, captivating piece of computer/wartime cryptanalysis, this guy is such a great technical communicator its almost possible to not realise how clear, terse effortless, succinct and cogent his communication style is. This was a true pleasure to listen to every syllable of this story. Everything was perfect: diction, dialogue, delivery, pacing, volume, technical explanations sparse but brilliant use of diagrams and photos, etc, etc, etc. A communication tour-de-force! BRAVO!!! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful effort!

2:16 i think i know the fan art that he's talking about. I love that drawing too. It's called "Remote mines in the Complex" by Zac Gorman. He does comics on a website called Magical Game Time

Currently in this chapter in Hackers !

All these ‘shortened the war by two years’ claims that circulate are bunk. They forget there were three wars being fought. The one all across the globe that millions were involved in and killed tens of millions. And the two that started in 1945. An enriched uranium bomb war. And a plutonium bomb war. The war in Europe was never going to go to spring 1947. If Germany had dominated central and western Europe in late summer 1945 the uranium and plutonium wars would have destroyed the cities of Germany in the fall of 1945.

Can you attach a physical floppy disk drive to it ?

This machine inspired me into a 25 yr career designing games. It was like magic to me, when that power switch went on, a portal into another world of endless possibilities. The commitment was huge, typing in Frogger code from a magazine. One misplaced semi-colon and it wouldn’t run. I could never understand how the likes of Revs and Elite could possibly fit into 32k of memory 😮

Thanks for that fascinating presentation. It is an injustice that none of those pioneers ( including Turing ) received any recognition during their lives due to secrecy of the work.

5:27 ......as minimalist as possible ...... I am thinking : What a duo it would have been Clive Sinclair together with the american inventor \ businessman Earl Muntz , the inventor of "Muntzing" , a “less is more” philosophy that makes intricate TV sets a little less complicated by reducing the number of components required while also reducing the price. During the 1950s Muntz manufactured TV sets deprived of signal boost stages that performed barely in Los Angeles , but did not far from the TV station antennas. Muntz deserves a movie as well.

Is Brett man or a woman. very confusing

I keep coming back to this video. I cannot believe this machine! Its magnificent! What an achievement by James, and I assume, his team. What an incredible amount of work and dedication.

I would like to see a dramatic film based on the Colossus, with Flowers arguing with the Post Office authorities over the feasibility of building the machine, etc, then going in to build the thing himself! It could be done effectively, I imagine.

These things have like 30 year and looks so futuristic, the spirit of the late 80s early 90s

The Apple BBC Micro was much better.

So sorry but the father to let him go in a taxi at that time in the morning!! and the mum asking why did you let him go? The father answers oh i thought it was all safe now you didn't let me know?! like WTF this father let his son go in that taxi miles away and didn't bother to check the address or anything! how could he have done this! His son is now dead and murdered horrifically!! How does this father live with himself!! And the poor mum even spoke to this predator on line in person and heard his voice!! This is just too sad! How can she be so brave after losing the love of her life her precious son? She is an amazing lady and I'm so heart broken for her! Her son thought she was stupid as they do at this age!! I bet poor Breck was thinking OMG mum was right why didn't i listen to my mum she wasn't an idiot like i thought she was!!! How heartbreaking it took this murder to happen to make a change and yet it's still happening!! What is upsetting is that its under when children kill children this guy wasn't a child this Lewis that murdered her son so that doco isn't right. Where were this murderers parents? it never says. And where do we find the emails he sent this poor mum from prison! OMG how did he get away with that???

so hang on this poor mum says perhaps this predator tried to come on to him and Breck said No but wait on I'm not gay or whatever! this Lewis still bought duct tape so No he would have had it all planned out to tie him up obviously ! So so sad!! he had planned to murder him obviously and sending pics of decapitated terrorism pics showed he was going to murder not just be mates with him and have a relationship!! How horrific!

Don't forget the Zuse Z1, Z2, Z3 and the Z4!

The dynamic between you two is brilliant, the Clarkson and May of the 8bit era

Hope you

Do not plug power into the Raspberry Pi USB port. In fact, don't plug anything into those USB port. They can't be used as of now because there's nothing on the NEXT PI making use of that.

It came to light in an interview he had in recent years, that he is in fact a rather vulgar and misogynistic man. Also used ableist slurs.
