SID was a chip with both digital and analog sides to the die and can do a lot of things still, making them sought after. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_6581

SID was the Commodore 64 sound generator chip. While rest of that era personal computers and game console could just do fancy beeps at most, SID had a programmable synthesizer.

the joke was on that "sid vs soundblaster" argument there was on the whole irc channel back when it actually had a lot of people

which transitioned smoothly into the amiga vs pc debate a few years later

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

how many useless debates on computers have there been???

sid vs soundblaster
amiga vs pc
cisc vs risc
vim vs emacs
and probably more but those are all i can think of rn

edit:

windows vs linux
linux vs bsd
android vs iphone

edit 2:

systemd vs sysvinit
