We have occasionally featured vacuum tube computers here at Hackaday and we’ve brought you many single board computers, but until now it’s probable we haven’t brought you a machine that combined both ...

The earliest all-electronic computers used vacuum tubes, and most of us will know about machines such as ENIAC or Colossus. Vast machines that required the budget of a country at war to build, andfill ...

A self-taught electronics tinkerer called Mike recently shared details of his retro-computing project on Hackaday. It certainly is retro, as the design eschews modern computer component niceties like ...

Mike’s Tube Computer MK3 packs 460 vintage vacuum tubes into a working 8-bit machine that makes computing visible.

The homebrew vacuum-tube computer the internet fell for this week reminds us how far we've come.

The takeaway: A homemade computer built with 460 vacuum tubes puts early computing technology to work in a modern project. The wall-mounted 8-bit system runs custom software, accepts user input, and ...

In the 21st century, it is all too easy to take today’s powerful microcomputers for granted, and as artificial intelligence continues to make inroads, the assumption is that massive amounts of data ...

I’m Adam Conway, an Irish technology fanatic with a BSc in Computer Science and I'm XDA’s Lead Technical Editor. My Bachelor’s thesis was conducted on the viability of benchmarking the non-functional ...

The registers, counters, 8-bit arithmetic logic unit, ring-oscillator clock, and small tube RAM are all assembled from that single building block, an approach Hackaday traces to the Apollo Guidance ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This glass vacuum tube has one a ...
