My dad knows very little about computers but he likes joking with me whenever i’m struggling with some technical problem: “8 bits is a byte! That’s all you need to know! How hard could it be?”

- ilyt 3y agoTI C62xx and C64xx DSPs don't understand 8 bit bytes at all and everything was at least 16 bit. There was no uint8_t there, char is 16 bits etc.
