Side note: IIRC a lot of the star tracking tech still exists and is used by Trident D-5, B-52, B-1, and B-2 etc. IIRC. Most of it is analog, although I think only the B-52s version is a mechanical computer assuming its still in service. You never design your second strike capability to require a system that will be knocked out in the first round.


Examples include:

* replacements for the C64 PLA, CIA, and potentially the SID

* Glue logic for a bread board project where it would require a lot of 74 or 4k series logic

* Translating TTL to VGA etc.

These are things people have used FPGAs for quite commonly


Pretty sure 3DNow's instruction space has been repurposed too. There are a few like that, or worse extremely similar but ever so slightly different between vendors or even generations of the same vendor. I won't claim to be an expert, this is all in IIRC territory for me.


No, the 0f 0f opcode (most of 3DNow was encoding-wise a single RMI-encoded opcode where the immediate specified the operation) and the 0f 0e opcode (FEMMS) were not repurposed by either Intel or AMD.


Good to know, thank you


Possibly controversial opinion, but radio stopped being relevant to me personally when congress removed the ownership restrictions for a single market. It's only gotten worse from there IMO. Radio is about catering to a very specific, and generally older, market at least where I am.


Not controversial, not even within the DJ community.


The local college station was still pretty fantastic until COVID hit. They shut the studio down during that time and most of the good DJs left. It never recovered.


Agreed. That was the beginning of the end of good radio.
