    PCI Slot History: A Success Story Rooted In Corporate Deception

    Today in Tedium: Computing has changed a lot in the past four decades, and one of the biggest changes, perhaps the most unheralded, comes down to compatibility. These days, you generally cant fry a computer by plugging in a joystick that the computer doesnt support. Simply put, standardization slowly fixed this. One of the best examples of a bedrock standard? PCI, the peripheral component [06:57] schestowitz interface, which came about in the early 1990s and appeared in some of its earliest consumer machines three decades ago this year. Its lessons gradually shaped other standards, like USB, and ultimately made computers less frustrating. So how did we get it? Through a moment of canny deception. Todays Tedium considers the latent power of PCI, one of the most prevalent standards the computing world has ever given us, and how it gave a [06:57] schestowitz tech giant a long-lasting foothold in our computing lives.
