An expert hired by the court to review data privacy concerns over a sale of 23andMe submitted a report on Wednesday that noted Wojcicki had been chief executive when a 2023 data breach compromised 7 million customer accounts. ....

The Spectra 70 household included five designs: the 70/15, 70/25, 70/35, 70/45, and 70/55, with gradually more capable memory speeds and capabilities. Operators could set up the system with as much as 32,768 bytes of memory (32K), achieved by combining two 16,384-byte core memory modulesa respectable quantity for the mid-1960s, though small by today's standards. By contrast, a decade later, the Apple II computer could make use of up to a maximum of 48K of memory. A view of operators utilizing an RCA Spectra 70/45 control board similar to the one discovered in the garage, circa 1965. Credit: RCA SonOfADeadMeme thinks the 70/35 panel wound up in his household's garage as a keepsake from the computer system's decommissioning. I believe the system might had been taken apart at IBM and the guy kept the terminal as a memento unfortunately, searched high and low while it was still standing however just other computer systems there was a Apple IIE and a Compaq that I believe got tossed (kept the Apple II but cant discover the Compaq). I did make sure to basically clean the whole location out before the collapse though, they explained.RCA ceased the Spectra series in 1971 when the business exited the mainframe computer system company, making it through examples progressively limited. The business offered its computer system division to Univac, which briefly continued supporting existing Spectra setups before phasing them out entirely.As for the control board's future, the initial poster has innovative prepare for this piece of calculating history. Unfortunately I do not think I'm ever finding the other 1,500 lbs of mainframe required to utilize the elegant 34 kilobytes of memory so I may (without changing a single Goddamn thing) string some LEDs behind the front panel and set them to blink at random. 7140999c83d174c734c3d9036a50fc1a
