Tiny 'puter
After dinner I did some work three Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V1.2 computers for my wife's IT class with children. Mostly updating the Linux operating system and adding a VPN so they are all connected together wherever they are on the network,
Today's blip is a close up of one of them. Apparently the entire central processor of some modern ARM based systems like these is smaller than a single transistor on the MOS 6502 processor popular in the 1980s. For the film buffs the code shown in the original Terminator film when seen from the Terminator's own perspective is 6502 machine code...!
