Comment on 1-bit CPU for ‘super low-performance computer’ launched – sells out promptly
linearchaos@lemmy.world 1 year agoIt’s a computer in almost its simplest form.
There’s almost nothing to it, the circuit diagram is easy to read, you program it literally by flipping a couple of dip switches.
It’s kind of an experiment for someone wanting to get into retro computer or hardware design.
That said it’s essentially useless and I would much rather buy a kit from Ben Eater start with a 6502 and make something that can actually run complex programs.

Even with just one bit and a few switches this seems like the sort of thing Picard could use to send an encoded message to Riker and Data in the future should the need arise.

Why not use well placed gold plate with impressions? Times gonna march on anyway, no need for power either.
