Paul Graham in his keynote speech at PyCon[1] bolted an iMac to the wall as TV.

I use a Mac Mini M4 and a huge 300 euro 4K screen as my TV. much better than an Apple TV and no spying or ads at all.

Best TV in my life, a user friendly computer.

Some of the Alan Kay lectures are on hackertube

traditional SRAM memory has 6 transistors per bit. Dense SRAM can have two transistors.

Wafers can have trillions of transistors, 10-16 times more than the 4 trillion of the WSE-3.

1 Terabyte of SRAM per wafer will be the upper limit for a few years [1].

I have an image with an uptime 2007-2020 and a still working image 50 years old. Images run bit-identical on all platforms because they are byte coded virtual machines


I have at least eight different GUIs implemented in Squeak and also native Xwindows, macOS, iPhone and Windows. Plus several through the FFI interface. And three/seven Web GUI interfaces. We used to run (around 2009) Squeak on more platforms than Linux, they all still work in the 32 versions. I'll make the old bitrotted GUI's work again in the latest Squeak 6.1 if you pay me a few thousand euro's.

I count many more native GUI support in all Smalltalk versions https://github.com/jeceljr/SmalltalkSurvey

Squeak goes back all the way to 1972, we ran on most GUIs in existence. Smalltalk was the invention of the first GUI. https://smalltalkzoo.computerhistory.org

I even have the most scalable (massively parallel) GUI written in a few thosand lines of code: https://youtu.be/f1605Zmwek8?t=3100

And several 3D GUIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s9ldlqhVkM&t=4s and the highly scalable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQTeWJNkylI


> And three/seven Web GUI interfaces.

Is there one that uses html (text, div) and not canvas/bitmap?


Seaside renders as html. Magritte and Pier (CMS) on top.
