On the 80th anniversary of the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC (June 30, 1945), a moment of appreciation for the first generation of computers it inspired:

Manchester Mk. 1, evolved from the earlier Baby (via University of Manchester - image ca. late 1940s)

IAS Machine (via Institute for Advanced Study - image ca. 1952)

The initial computer design that was developed into the Acorn Atom, as well as a bunch of the firmware, was created by Sophie Wilson, a trans woman who hadn't even finished university yet.

She would later design something called "ARM" that is probably powering the device you're reading this post on. Happy Pride!
