Up to the 1990s there were workstations designed for software development (Lisp/Smalltalk Machines by various vendors), graphics and CAD (Apollo, SGI), and general purpose systems (Sun, HP).

Was Xerox Star the only office workstation?

Were there other dedicated workstations (not high-end PCs or Macs) designed for office and business tasks? Of course there were word processing machines. But I'm not sure they qualify as they didn't play in the same league as the Star and were much less versatile.

Disclosure: I'm a member of the Medley Interlisp Project.

When receiving unsoliciting phone calls by telemarketers, many people consistently hung up, don't bait, and don't interact. So why don't telemarketers delete from their databases such phone numbers that don't lead to any sales or other business benefits?

Maybe the cost of keeping the numbers is so low telemarketers just don't bother. Or keeping track of what numbers to delete may actually have a cost. Or perhaps telemarketers hope those people will eventually pick up the calls.

Any insight?

My photos of a visit to the incredible Ctrl+Alt Museum retrocomputing museum in Pavia, Italy. Mind blowing.

Can you recommend any screen video capture tools compatible with Wayland? I’ll use such a tool on my Raspberry Pi 400 under 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, so I'd prefer one with appropriate Debian binaries.

Update

VokoscreenNG is a screencasting tool that works with Raspberry Pi OS, I tested it on my Pi 400. And it's also easy to install, just sudo apt install vokoscreen-ng gstreamer1.0-pipewire.
