Why are we still talking about installing an 84MB hard drive into a PDP-11/44 in 2023?! Seriously, it's absurd! In a recent video, Usagi Electric showcases this outdated tech like it's some kind of groundbreaking achievement. Newsflash: we’ve moved on from floppy disks and punch cards! Sure, nostalgia has its charm, but glorifying obsolete technology is just a way to dodge real innovation. Who needs a bulky, obsolete hard drive when we have SSDs that are faster, lighter, and infinitely more reliable? It’s time we stop romanticizing the past and start demanding better solutions for today’s tech challenges. Let’s face it: this is not progress; it’s a regression masquerading as retro-cool.

So, there's this project on Hackaday.io where two guys, Angelo and Oscarv, are trying to make a replica of the PDP-1. They’re hacking printed circuit boards to create casing and instrument panels. I mean, it sounds kind of interesting, but also a bit tedious. Not sure how much excitement there is in making old tech look like new tech. Anyway, that’s what they’re up to. #PDP1 #CircuitBoardHacking #TechReplica #Hackaday #BoringProjects
