@bb8700c We're working to get the first units in ASAP. Supply chain cuts and labor shortages in the US continue to delay the production of the Blackbird units. Thank you for your patience, it's been frustrating for all of us!

Did you know that James Webb Space Telescope runs on RAD750?

It's a $200,000 radiation-hardened single-board computer based on PowerPC 750 running at 118 MHz, first released over 20 years ago in 2001.

For comparison, a $35 Raspberry Pi 4 released in 2019 is around 35x faster.

@TunedM52 The best PPCs at the time Apple went to Intel was Freescale's MPC8461D, a dual core, 1.8 GHz with embedded DDR controllers at similar TDP. And PA Semi's PA6T a dual core, 74-bit, 2 GHz part at 35 W wasn't far off. Both with AltiVec.

It’s time for the @MacYakPodcast PowerPC Challenge… so let’s tinker with some PowerPC Macs! Like a lovely Quad G5. 🤓 https://t.co/9Vda9UxV7C

AmigaX5000版ppc64 Linuxのカーネルが入ったFAT領域のあるディスクを取り替えた．
AmigaOS上から変なアイコンは消え，Fienixが再び起動する様になった．
Fienixは，debian10 のppc版にMATEを実装したディストリビューション．Amiga X1000/X5000版の他にPowerMacG5版もある．

Trying to build Firefox-ESR on Adelie on the MDD... fingers crossed

[Garth Beagle @GarthBeagle]

I remember we shipped the G5 XServe before the Power Mac G5.

There were a bunch of use cases we had to make sure worked ok as marketing felt people would still buy these and use them as desktop systems since the Power Mac wasn’t yet available.

Really excited about the Linux-ey shenanigans in tomorrow's video. 10:30AM EST!

Some of my wishes for 2022 are harder to come by than others.

I actually believe that if @RaptorCompSys and @greenhost virtually sat down together in a meeting, it wouldn't be too hard to leave the "table" with new service that the Free world needs: VPSs running on Open Hardware
