The 8088 and 8086 were introduced in 1979. They had the same 16-bit CPU core and instruction set, but the 8088 had an 8-bit memory bus while the 8086 had 16 bits. The 8080 was a purely 8 bit design. While they were inspired in part by the earlier 8080, featuring similar register maps and instruction set, they were not object-code compatible with 8080 programs. They were meant to be "source compatible," meaning that porting 8080 assembly language programs to the x86 would be relatively easy compared to, say, porting to the entirely different Motorola architecture.

You'd be surprised at what clueless morons people such as khchung can be. They'd gladly eat an actual shit sandwich if it was sold by McD's. Some people have no self awareness, or capacity for critical thought and just simply spend their lives doing nothing more than consuming, shitting and sleeping. I doubt he'd notice or care if all TV Shows and Movies were nothing more than AI generated scripts, characters and music

It's not a good situation. I lean to the political left and ecological stuff myself, but there just isn't much you can do with this water, and the ocean is vast and will do a really good job of dispersing it to a truly unnoticeable concentration. I'm honestly surprised they've waited this long, and the wait alone has probably about halved the amount of tritium in the waste. Release it slowly in a controlled way so that it is dispersed, and that is probably the best solution we have for the situation.

Read the Book, wasn't called Silo, believe it was the "Wool" series or something other other, Fucking trash, felt my time was wasted. On the plus side, with the book being such shit, the show's writing can't be much worse. The Peripheral was that way, shit book that forever made me write-off William Gibson who's writing since Virtual Light I've not been able to stand, and turned out a damn good series... so far. With the shitting of the bed with WestWorld in the final 2 seasons, not sure if Nolan and Joy can go the distance.

The CBS journalist who went down to the wreck last year read the waiver to the camera for yuks, including the part that said "including death." Then he looked the camera in the eye and smiled and said, "Where do I sign?"

Back around 2010 we were in a situation where the only viable option for general internet was wireless. We got a Verizon MiFi hotspot and thought it was great. We're frugal with our bandwidth, so the 5 Gb cap didn't really bother us. But one month we did need a bit more and we went over a bit. Going to just under 6 Gb doubled our bill. There was no meter or warning. I called the customer service and they "generously" canceled the charge "this time." I explained the situation and said that if it happened again I'd have to cancel the service. They had no answer. Two weeks later I got a call from the provider. They had a new service that would text me to warn me I was approaching the cap. Great, right? I explained that the MiFi hotspot isn't a phone and that while it could receive texts, the only way to read them was to disable the wifi and plug it directly into my computer with a USB cable. How often am I supposed to do that? So I switched to T-mobile who promised that would never happen. They just throttled down to 2G speeds when you hit the cap instead of engaging in usury. OK, that was better. But then my wife landed a job working for an online outfit that required a lot of usage. She was hitting our 10 Gb cap around the 20th of the month and then couldn't work without going to the library to mooch their internet. I went to the T-Mobile store and said, I need 20 Gb per month, how much will that cost? They had no way to sell it to me. I opened my wallet and said "I have money in my hand, please take it from me." The staff spent nearly two hours trying to figure out something. But there was no plan at any price available with a higher cap. They even looked at business plans but those had all kinds of hoops I couldn't jump through as a consumer. I couldn't even open a separate account with a different hotspot because everything was tied to my meatspace ID and the computer knew I was the same person with an existing account. Much as I hated dealing with the cable company I ended up with a cable modem. It may be capped, but if so at a limit I never come near. There have been the usual run of outages and mishaps with the billing which any cable customer can tell you about, but at least I have enough service to do the shit I need to do.

Federal laws trump state laws, but I don't think Federal agency rules made up by unelected bureaucrats trump state laws. What will probably happen, as another poster already suggested, is that automakers will simply disable telematics on vehicles sold in MA. Which would be fine with me, were I buying such a car. I would consider that a feature, not a bug. As for the other right to repair provisions, such as making the diagnostic systems available to everybody, it's a long stretch to even think this logic would affect those requirements.

I'll still tip -- gas isn't cheap and it comes out of their pocket. But hey... it takes empathy and consideration to give a fuck about others, qualities 90% of Americans lack

You are writing to convey information. Do not use unnecessarily complex or obscure words, complex sentence structures, or other devices to prove how smart you are. Just explain as simply as possible what the reader needs to know. This is what I was told on Day 1 of my college technical writing class and it's one of the most important lessons I ever learned.

Evil? The only "evil" I ever see are those such as yourself constantly pointing at things they don't like and calling them "evil". Because those people are cut from the same cloth as "christian" priests and GOP politicians that rape children and women while making false claims about "evil" drag queens molesting children, or freaking out for years about "them dirty muslims are bringing evil Sharia Law" to the US, ending our Democracy and way of life, yet Evangelical "christians" are working day and night to turn America into a fascist theocracy under "biblical law" and stripping away our rights It does truly seem that every accusation is a confession with your kind, so when you call others "evil", I see that finger needing to be pointed at YOU and no one else

Last year I got assigned a service call for a customer for whom I'd designed a PC-based data system. They had a HP printer which the customer had supplied, but it failed, and they could not get the replacement printer to work. Part of the specification for this system is that it cannot have internet access for security reasons. I was told to purchase two printers and toner cartridges myself, deliver, and install one of them. At Office Depot website I saw that every single HP printer came with a warning that it would not work without continuous internet access, presumably to prevent blocking these hostile updates. I bought two Brother printers. This cost my customer north of $2K but they were happy. The HP printers went in a dumpster, and I warned my own company to never buy another HP printer.

Microsoft has already almost fatally sabotaged their own OS for anybody doing remote automation. Once a month every computer I own boots to a screen advertising Windows online services instead of to the desktop and my auto-starting apps. Microsoft has provided ways to disable this and then sabotaged those ways several times. (I'm still on Win10 on all my boxes, but some of my customers have Win11). I haven't moved to Linux mainly because I have software tools and hardware that aren't supported on Linux or in emulation there. Most of my customers also still want Windows because it 's what they understand. But it's getting very annoying, and tides can change.

I remember when people in their early 20's regularly bought houses. All it took was a good manufacturing let alone white-collar job and you could buy a house and a new car every few years. My parents bought the house I grew up in in their mid 20's. Of course by the time I was that age it was not so much so any more.

This is news that matters to me. Good to know that I should use Kohls or other drop off locations for Amazon returns. But hey, I guess "real nerds" don't use Amazon and order their essentials such as hot pockets and cum rags from "Mom"

One world government and a global society that looks after the âoewelfareâ of all people, not just the wealthy is exactly the sort of hell on earth Satan and his evil Cabal of liberal baby eaters want to trick us into!

The only good thing about this is that hundreds of millions if not a billion or two people will die and in the carnage and chaos, the wealthy elite who inflicted this end upon our society will be raped, murdered and fed to animals⦠and after all that is left is a smoldering ruin, we will rebuild and fuck our selves in the ass for the benefit of the few all over again

At this point I think humanity needs to accept that we are a shit species. The worst. Nothing but insane murder monkeys, who only rape and destroy all they come in contact with. The best thing we could do would be to wipe out our specie from the planet all together. The fossil record shows that mass extinction leads to better, more capable species to replace the previous dominant species, letâ(TM)s be good stewards for once and eradicate ourselves so nature can replace us with something better that isnâ(TM)t some mentally unstable pack of murderous fuckwads
