Why aren't you using AmigaOS 4.1 on your brand new

A lot of money to spend on a toy OS.

At least RISC-OS runs on hardware that costs next-to nothing.

I would if I could afford to do so

>>57350754
Why should I?

lol nice

>>57350774

it might be a toy OS now, but when Amigas came out the OS was pretty OP compared to Macintoshes or DOS computers, just no software but gaymes

Amiga is one of those sad stories, like that one car company with the engine in the trunk from back in the day they made a movie about

it was used as both, since the amiga 500 was cheaper and more powerful than anything that dos or mac was capable of.

The Amiga was the original mac, it was more advanced than anything out at the time.

plus it rivaled arcades in graphics and sound, it could actually play live sound

yeah... no, just no, maybe in the price range, but they didn't even get hard disks or sane expandability until the big boxes, used the OG 68000 long past its expiration date, and even started coming up short on color graphics towards the end, there's a reason so many amigafags run accelerator-frankensteins and that upgrade market was so prolific, most Amigas were toys unless you paid out the ass

sorry if reality strikes a nerve sometimes

you can keep liking them without spewing bullshit you know, they were still nice systems, but to say they were the "more advanced than anything out at the time" is just a bunch of masturbatory nostalgia-goggled horse shit, they had a lot of cool features that absolutely nothing in their price range could match, but they were still lacking in other areas

>>57354540
we both know what "big box" implies here, that thing was just a future 500 in a 128D shell with no real expansion whatsoever beyond the retarded sidecar bullshit

>>57354697
You pretty much sum up 15 years of Amiga in one post describing things that weren't relevant at a time and where in another as they would have been all at once.

Of course you get made fun of. You obviously weren't part of the computer world back then.

>>57354101

>>57354728
yeah keep on coming back with these unsubstantiated "b-but I was 5 in the '80s! stupid kid!" non-arguments like it means you were some kind of industry expert because you took a shit on the same plane of existence at the time

the fact that you would even entertain the notion that expandability and reliable mass storage was "irrelevant" while jerking off to a bunch of gimmicks really wins this argument for me, you're fucking clueless

I mean, let's not even go into detail about a significant portion of the PC platform's success drawing in its compatibility and expandability, or that even Macs and Amigas themselves ended up sporting expansion buses within a few years of their introduction because vanilla hardware and I/O just couldn't cut it for every job especially in the '80s when even the high end was weaker than shit and the interfacing standards of various pieces of equipment so diverse

>>57355053
it was certainly normal and that isn't my implication, just pointing out that the typical Amiga was pretty anemic and practically required that kind of expansion judging by how prominent that practice is compared to other platforms, it's not common to see PCs and even Macs hotrodded as often, definitely not in the circles I run in

you don't visit retro threads much, do you?

>>57355266
That's because a shitty Amiga or Macintosh from the early 90's could still be a revenant machine in the late 90's thanks to expansions then a PC ever could. I can obviously see you don't run in the retro circles.

>>57355305
been to every one since I pushed the original 2014 /retro/ generals and I've seen maybe two or three accelerated macs and not one Pentium Overdrive or similarly chipped PC, RAM and disk upgrades are pretty much a given, but nowhere near the level of hotrod 500s/600s/1200s that seem pretty ubiquitous here and elsewhere

>>57355340
ghosts aren't real anon, and this post is unreadable, please proofread in advance

also you're neglecting the hardware differences between these platforms, chipping was generally a failure on PCs post-1992 both because the chip upgrades like the Pentium overdrive were overpriced vaporware and also because you could just straight up board swap your system instead of strangling your brand new CPU on ancient ass chipsets like with Mac accelerators

they're practically nonexistent and very expensive outside of Europe, you don't just casually decide one day to pick that shit up at a garage sale, you spend a lot time searching if you want one cheap and local

nah you're right, stacked up with the relative rarity of big boxes it's not really surprising it is the way it is, it would be pretty dumb of me to contest it after bringing up the reason it isn't this way in PCs
>>57357615
"coping" with the hardware didn't put your finger on the pulse of the industry any more than it did for the typical office drone of the '80s

justin's right for once, it's a cop-out, because you either know you're standing on an unstable foundation or you have no idea whatsoever what you're talking about beyond a couple blurry memories from two decades ago

>>57357787
>"coping" with the hardware didn't put your finger on the pulse of the industry any more than it did for the typical office drone of the '80s
Irrelevant much?
We all know Justin's story and why he's such a buttblasted faggot.

Nobody is talking about "finger on the pulse of the industry", I didn't invent chipsets or processors, but I did have to set up all kind of shit for office drones, media productions, etc, before I could just Google for an answer like "kids" today, stop being such a predictable little bitch.

>>57357615
>>57357787
SJWs do a very similar psuedo-argument, known as the meme "are you kidding me?". Idea is to insist that even asking such a thing means you are immediately wrong. The accusation IS the evidence. Reason why is because they secretly know they have nothing to say against you.

Best example of this nostalgia retardation is how any 80s or 90s person flips nuclear shit whenever you mention replacing the save button since nobody knows what a floppy disk is. But then actually ask about a floppy, and immediately it's "they were complete shit", broke all the time, unreliable, etc. So we're stuck in this retarded quantum circular bullshit circlejerk about how "you don't know shit about computers if you can't recognize a floppy" and "floppies were shit anyway", and the last time they even used one was 15 years ago

>>57357906
kek, they get called "kids" for a reason you know, they act like one

While all you faggots are pining for 'unikernels' and single address space for performance, and bare metal/embedded programming, Amiga had this in the 80s, and never lost it. Enjoy your intel 'management engine' and 'remote chip admin'.

Whatever is old is new again. The future is back to single address space and no-context switch IPC.

This
>>57357920

There's no such thing as shaming others kids in the retro community, only in /g/ and /vr/ because grown men behave like kids.
Nobody even said it as an argument, but usually add to the end of an argument or they just do it to piss people off and it seems to work just fine.

>>57357964
You already posted that shit >>57357158

Also, Macintosh and DOS had this too, that's why shitty software would kill the whole system.

>>57357983

Shitty software SHOULD kill the system. Id rather have the system interrupt than have a system that is in an inconsistent state, leading to data or security corruption! If you think that 'bad software' is fixed by VM/MMU you're fucking daft. This is why the industry is moving back to single address space or unikernel design on a hypervisor. (much like morphos).

>>57358061
Let's apply this idea to servers and see what happens.

>>57358061
But the problem is devs are lazy.
Nobody wants to make software anymore that could crash the whole system before they know it would not sell.

That's why it won't come back, keep dreaming.

No, bad software isn't fixed by MMUs, but lazy devs are, your program crashes, you can just relaunch it.

>>57357964
>While all you faggots are pining for 'unikernels' and single address space for performance
no, we are arguing about useless non tech related shit, gtfo

>>57358086
Holy shit, do some reading. What do you think servers are moving too? What do you think docker is? What do you think unikernels are?

As it is now, 'unikernels' contain the complete OS, but they're moving towards minimized kernels and userspace. Docker and so forth are a precursor.

As it turns out, its much easier to kill/restart a corrupted virtual machine than try to recover an entire OS.

State inconsistency is the biggest problem facing servers and entrprise software.
