Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Unlikely. Too much infrastructure relies on proprietary software that needs it. Half our banks still rely on z Architecture to support System 360 shit from the 1960s.
there's people out there who emulate and optimize 90s video games for free, surely somebody could pay a dev for some 60s hardware emulation...
I'm fairly sure emulators exist. IIRC the problem is lag. Yeah, your ATM is slow, but you can bet their day trading algorithms get dedicated hardware with gazillions of iops/second realtime.
