#microcomputer

World's first mass-market #laptop was the #T1100 computer by #Toshiba. Introduced with a 4.77MHz #CPU, 512KB of #RAM, #monochrome #LCD display, and battery capacity up to 7 hours, it changed the world of #IBM compatible portable computers. It even worked with #MS #Windows1 in 640x200px #CGA #graphics, but only within a narrow view angle https://youtu.be/qk04sDF5SrM

Even without a hard disk this machine was very important, since the plus model was re-engineered in #USSR as Электроника #МС1504. Unlike #US, users in #Russia didn't pay royalties, or used the internal 3.5" floppy drive to boot #MS-DOS 2.11 https://youtu.be/_u5LwiP5Q4g

Our #graphic #illustration is a tribute to this #IT #milestone, celebrating the 40th #anniversary of this historic #microcomputer achievement in 1985. See it in comparison of #ComputerChronicles to #Tandy or #Dynamac #laptops two years later https://youtu.be/tPEMilDYpgY

I got curious how much power my MicroPython Sensornode was using and it sips power. Just under 100 mA peak.

So from left to right: SPS30 PM sensor, SCD40 CO2/temperature/humidity sensor, AHT20 + BMP280 sensor (both do humidity/temperature), Waveshare ESP32-C6-Pico and a KEWEISI KWS-1902C Type-C USB Tester UPM.

Nice initiative : discovered thanks to Fairphone and founded in 2021, the small Belgian company #Citronics offers "microcomputers" (in fact nanocomputers) designed from smartphone motherboards … and there is stock ! 😅

Au hasard du web, je tombe sur Citronics, une boîte belge qui fait de l'électronique en économie circulaire, en recyclant des composants de smartphones usagés en micro-ordinateurs pour l'électronique embarquée.
