No. The FCC definition of harmful is easily searchable but it is basically the same as the Canadian (Industry Canada) definition - the FCC definition is more specific about safety-related systems including radio navigation systems: "en

What do you assume that will accomplish? It’s your own Part 15 devices interfering with each other because of some shitty spec (Bluetooth) - I don’t think there’s any FCC rule breaking involved here. I’m all for using the federal agency com

As stated it’s bollocks - but also a straw man. The value depends on the value of the state in question. A wealthy state will force money to have some value if they collect taxes in that currency. A completely dysfunctional state with no we

Has this limit (it’s the same in Excel) one you have or someone you know ever encountered or even come close to in practice? If not then it’s a BS expectation.

The 6809 had some hobbyist/consumer prominence on this side of the pond in the TRS-80 CoCo - and some European similars. And there was a multitasking OS written for it - OS-9. OS-9 has an interesting history in its own right. It was po

I know what DIP switches or configuration pin headers do. For one, I've never heard them referred to as DIP PIN switches like PIN is some kind of acronym - perhaps DIP pin switch is some kind of regionalism. But that was not the confus

Your edit is still a bit confused. Any halfway decent encryption algorithm and mode can encrypt terabytes of data and still be resistant to known plaintext attacks. You can pretty safely use a single key to encrypt an entire hard-drive afte

Only for the most trivial problems. Having seen the same problem implemented both with a spaghetti ball of shit vs something well organized that can be easily read and maintained I’m going to hard disagree on this sentiment.

HIMEM here refers to a control mechanism for switching out the mapping of the C64 kernal (the ROM “OS”) to access more RAM. The C64 is called that because it has 64k of memory and the 6502 is a 16 wide address bus so 64k of memory requires

If you stake your life’s happiness on pleasing morons (and the morons in this case are those that pretty much don’t immediately assume technical problems out of your control) - you’re pretty much guaranteed a bad time.

The flip side of this - is that service techs are by their nature biased to failures. They don't come out to the machines that are working. This is an issue for top-selling items where they may see a lot of service calls but the overal

The reviews as actual reviews are terrible. And the retro tech series - well if you know anything about the items being discussed you'll find quite a few inaccuracies. It's pure entertainment.

Perhaps I’m forgetting but was HIMEM control not something that was pretty well known since early on in the C64? I didn’t think it was a secret. There’s articles describing it’s use in January of 1983.

I still do not understand your objection, since the whole thread has been about shares, not options. The options were already exercised so what they are holding onto are these now likely worthless shares.
