An was entdeckt Mensch, dass der anscheinende IT Fachartikel nur plumpes Marketing ist? Soll ich für euch dies mal Bit für Bit durchgehen oder nur ein Kyber Byte da lassen?

»[…] Auffallend beim neuesten Mainframe-Modell der Z-Reihe von IBM ist aber das: Er verschlüsselt alle Daten in Echtzeit. Alle bedeutet in diesem Fall tatsächlich jedes einzelne Bit.«
It is not an easy task to make the #80286 perform multitasking or mode switching. [..] Jerry Pournelle describes the process this way: "You have to clunk it over the head and knock it out When it's waking up -- but before it realize it's been reset -- you shout: 'Stop! Stop! Don't reset! It's all a terrible dream.'" (f h) #Byte #ByteMagazine #Anno1989
Is somebody aware of something like an “all time index” over all BYTE magazine issues? I'm specifically searching for BYTE articles on DTP (desktop publishing). The magazines itself are available via @internetarchive (mostly complete) but I don't want to manually walk through every single issues table of contents. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #byte

#BYTE Magazine, 1981
It bytes, okay?
Nu startar trädgårdssäsongen, sakta men säkert. Har grävt upp några plommon och slånbär. Även sticklingar av svart vinbär finns.

It was a long recording session, and Jason did an excellent job on editing it to make me sound far more coherent. I did kind of laugh listening back to it when he asked me at the end "Do you have anything more to add to the topic?" and I just said "Nope!"
In under 2 hours for the episode, which I consider a win. We could have held a symposium on that issue of #BYTE alone...

Look at this beauty! A 1980 comic from the #Byte magazine made into an animation!
A piece of #computinghistory
I posted a quick/fun little blog about the dangers of invisible bytes, particularly when everybody copies/pastes exploits without understanding them:

… I have seen things you wouldn’t believe …
… ribbon cables for hard drives… Master/Slave #SCSI termination… (mind screams in rebellion)… the little switch boxes to hook your original #Nintendo console or #VIC20 to a TV and then get headaches from staring at the TV CRT too closely…. a VIC-20 cassette drive with a box of about 150+ unlabeled tapes… painstakingly typed in from the listings in #BYTE magazines… Taking low-density 3.5″ floppies, and drilling/punching a hole through to double your storage and make them “high-density”…. the squeal of a modem (and trying to get the #IRQ conflicts resolved via changing jumper switches)… attempting to connect to #Datapac to try and reach unknown systems, running a #BBS inside a #DOS box, on #386(SX) #Windows 3.0 machine, Setting up your own #UUCP #internet over #dialup…
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain…
The clicking of an #IOMEGA #ZIP drive, whose time it was to die…
Jos joku vois levittää sanaa kääntäjille, että "64 GB" tai "64 Gigabyte" ei ole suomeksi "64 gigabittiä", vaan "64 gigatavua". Kiitos!
Särähtää joka ikinen kerta korvaan/silmään kirjaa kuunnellessa/lukiessa.
8-kertainen ero ja tallennustilan määrää vaan ei käytännössä mitata biteissä (1 bit) vaan tavuissa (1 byte = 8 bits).
