[–] unwind 3y ago ↗ I was first exposed to microcontrollers when I learned about the Microchip 16x84 [1] in the mid-nineties.As a 20-something CS M.Sc student with a software background it was really opening up the world of electronics in a great way. What a product.[1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIC16x84
[–] djmips 3y ago ↗ I submitted a fascinating blog post featuring this same era of calculator chips but related to the first Mattel handheld electronic gameshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34259747

I wonder why so many websites do not do this (and it seems the effect is quite common with more traditional 'publishers' such as this one).
"Linking" is one of the core aspects that make "the web" into "the web".
As a 20-something CS M.Sc student with a software background it was really opening up the world of electronics in a great way. What a product.
