That's incorrect. Plenty of people browse the net on Z80 based machines. HTTPS borks that, the computers aren't fast enough to run the decryption.
There are a lot of assumptions being made in this conversation which may be quite inaccurate.
- zozbot234 7y agoSSL/TLS is a problem even on 80586-class machines (souped up 486's, not Intel Pentiums) - there's a few YT videos showing how long it takes to bootstrap a modern SSH session on that sort of hardware. But honestly, how many people are browsing the net on stuff like that, much less Z80's?
- eropple 7y agoHow many people is that "plenty"? More or less than one out of a million? I'd bet hard on "less", and that every single one of them does it by choice.
