Development of the MOS Technology 6502: A Historical Perspective (2022)

One ubiquitous microprocessor of the late 1970s and 1980s was the MOS Technology MCS 6502. I included a section on the development of the 6502 in Part 2 of Supply Chain Games, and have posted it as an excerpt here, as I believe it is deserving in its own right.

Full Moon: Seestar S50 vs. Samsung S25

The full moon is one of those sights that almost begs to be photographed, no matter what camera you’re using. Most of the time, that means a smartphone, and to be fair, modern phones are excellent at handling bright subjects like the moon. Of course, a telescope should reveal far more than a phone camera, but I wanted to see just how big that difference really is. So last night, under clear skies, I took two photos. Seestar S50 smart telescope : designed for astrophotography, with a larger ape

Astronomers Just Found a Record-Breaking Space Explosion That Makes No Sense

If you’ve been following Gizmodo’s astrophysics coverage, you’ve probably noticed a pattern: Scientists study a cosmic phenomenon and start to get a handle on it—then something shows up that completely upends their understanding. The latest example? It’s explosive. Literally. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful explosions in the universe. Generally, GRBs last from milliseconds to several minutes. Scientists believe they emerge when massive stars explode in supernovas or get ripped apa

The Dreame X50 Didn’t Just Mop My Floors -- It Outsmarted My Furniture

CNET's key takeaways No robot vacuum has truly solved the challenge of multilevel cleaning without requiring you to physically move it between floors. This robo-vac can do it, for the high-end price of $1,700. You won't find another robot vacuum with its features for less than $1,000 right now. The whole point of owning a robot vacuum is so you don't have to do the cleaning yourself. But that was never the case at my house -- partly because of what I call my "Ikea chair challenge."

$7,500 EV Tax Credit Will Vanish in Weeks, but a New IRS Rule Eases the Deadline

Target Promo Codes and Deals: Up to 50% Off

Target has set itself apart from big box retailers like Walmart by having trendy clothes, homegoods branded by reality TV stars and, of course, in-store Starbucks.

In recent years, the store has cemented themselves as a notch above similar retailers with exclusive products with a more high-end feel, while st

%CPU utilization is a lie

I deal with a lot of servers at work, and one thing everyone wants to know about their servers is how close they are to being at max utilization. It should be easy, right? Just pull up top or another system monitor tool, look at network, memory and CPU utilization, and whichever one is the highest tells you how close you are to the limits. And yet, whenever people actually try to project these numbers, they find that CPU utilization doesn't quite increase linearly. But how bad could it possibly

Marshall Now Has a Big Party Speaker That’s Perfect for Pretending You’re in a Band

You’ve got to learn an instrument (time-consuming), organize your friends (a nightmare), and then harass everyone on Instagram to come out to your show on a Tuesday at 9:30 pm at least twice a month? Forget about it. That being said, looking like you’re in a band is still hella cool, and what better way to do that than carry around a huge party speaker that looks akin to a Marshall Stack? If that sounds more like your speed, then you’ll be happy to know that Marshall is
