I can't judge if microsoft did a good job or not (probably not), but it makes me lol how stupid the whole thing was. oh and then various navies kept using xp. forever. lol. fckgw blink polyfill fucked around with this message at 10:05 on Jan 19, 2021 |

Truman Peyote posted:Lol, remember when it turned out that the british navy was still running "windows for submarines", which was basically just win XP, in like 2016 or something? things like this should involve long term support contracts that ensure they still get security and bugfix updates for the lifetime of the contract, and complete access to development/build/test environments so everything can be both audited and fixed as needed by the navy itself that would require the nation and navy and companies involved to be competent, of course, and also to be aware of what it means to be competent in the areas necessary (I wonder if Russia or China run commercial systems built by American companies in their militaries)

so listen to this: twelve-bit personal computers this is a “DECmate,” aka VT278 it’s the second generation of combined terminal and PDP-8; the previous model combined a VT52 with a PDP-8 and was called a VT78 it was sold primarily as a word processing system, though there was other software including software for development targeting “real” PDP-8 systems the PDP-8 architecture has a very simple instruction set: no stack, no subtract, no bitwise OR (gotta rely on (A ∨ B) ⇔ ¬(¬A ∧ ¬B) for that), only either PC-relative, zero-page relative, or memory-indirect relative references with 7-but displacement… and a 12-bit accumulator and program counter (with some extended addressing support, though of course the smallest systems wouldn’t have or use it) fortunately it’s a word- rather than byte-addressed system, so the VT278 comes with 32 kilowords and a “large” PDP-8 supporting many users could have up to 128 kilowords of core or semiconductor memory and even a paged MMU with support for swapping many systems swapped to DECtape, since it was random access, or to floppy some folks at DEC and Carnegie Mellon found the cost and overhead of the IBM System/360 as a timesharing system offensive, and created the TSS/8 operating system to demonstrate that you didn’t need all that crap just to have an interactive system supporting many users at terminals eventually DEC decided, as part of their attempt to compete with other personal computers (after first insisting they were a fad not worth paying attention to), to try a three-pronged strategy: they simultaneously released a personal Z-80 system (the Rainbow), a personal PDP-8 system (the DECmate II), and a personal PDP-11 system (the DEC Professional); the latter two could also take a Z-80 softcard and also run CP/M software all of these systems also looked identical in their giant deskside cases, and they could mostly share peripherals, but they were completely different to run and use oh, and these systems all came with an RX50 dual 5.25in floppy drive as standard equipment—but one that shared a spindle between the two drive mechanisms, so you didn’t get the performance of other dual floppy personal computers eventually there was also an 8088 or 8086 card for the DEC Professional series, too, that could be used to run MS-DOS software—as long as it was actually written for MS-DOS and not the IBM PC, of course, since the hardware was all different just a masterful strategy all around

I was half wrong about the DEC Rainbow, it wasn’t just a Z-80 CP/M system a stock Rainbow had an 8088 as well and could also run CP/M-86 and MS-DOS, and a whole 64KB (later 128KB) of built in memory it was in the same case as the DECmate II (PDP-8) and DEC Professional (PDP-11) they also all used the same LK201 keyboard as the VT220

i just remembered my friends and i would scam people on rune scape by offering 100k gold for top tier armor or whatever and then in their excitement to accept wouldn't notice that we'd removed 99,900 gold from the trade just before they'd hit ok making the trade go from 100k to 100 and the k wasn't very visible lol
