🖥️🐇 Plan 9 from Bell Labs: the OS time forgot. Built by the UNIX team in the 80s/90s—everything was a file, even the network. It lives on today as 9front 👉 9front.org

Would you trade your OS for Plan 9 or quit in 5 min? 😂

🖥️ Throwback: TRS-80 Model 100

As a kid in the hospital (tonsils out 😅), I had one of these on my lap—no Netflix, just me coding tiny text RPGs in BASIC.

Used to build couch cushion forts & watch Conan the Destroyer on Saturday TV. Never saw the first one then, but I was hooked—the mirror wizard scene & Dagoth battle stuck with me forever.

What movie moment from childhood do you still remember crystal clear?

Remember the Turbo Button on old PC towers? We thought it was warp speed… but it usually slowed things down so old games wouldn’t break. 🤯

Did you fall for it?
