all jarls are carls, but very few carls are jarls

e: according to skyrim not all jarls have to be carls, they can be women or lizards or cats i guess

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/aug/02/jarlsberg-cheese-may-help-stave-off-osteoporosis-small-study-suggests
Eating Jarlsberg cheese may help to prevent bone thinning and stave off osteoporosis, research suggests.

Jarlsberg is a mild cheese made from cow’s milk, with regular holes that mean it is classified as a Swiss-type cheese, although it originates from Norway. It is rich in vitamin K2, which has previously been found to improve bone health.

The results of a study published in the journal BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health suggest a daily portion could be beneficial to bone growth and regeneration.

Participants in the study were given a daily portion of either Jarlsberg or camembert, which is poor in vitamin K2. Signs of bone growth increased with Jarlsberg consumption and fell slightly in the camembert group, the authors said.

Release my children! My hat is truly great and mighty.

i can't remember if i was ever aware of it before, but regardless i find it p. wild that the external disk drive for the c64 cost as much as the actual computer and the one for the c128 was actually more expensive than the system for which it was intended

meanwhile here i was with a hand-me-down commodore ibm compatible from my dad that had two (count 'em) internal disk drives plus a hard drive

in retrospect that pc was in fact pretty neat because it supported hga and i would play simcity in high res. well until my dad got me a colour monitor that did not support that resolution anyway :rip:

no i meant it adds expence

but it's just that the DOS runs on the actual drive (it has 16 kB of ROM for that), which isn't a bad idea as such

e: basically you're lowering the price of the computre and transferring that cost to diskette drive buyers, compared to most (if not all) other comparable systems.

it's to make the computer as cheap as possible so you can sell one squillion of them and then go out of buisness by having the worst management in the history of computer hardware.

right, i got that the drive being a microcomputer would mean a major cost increase, i just didn't grasp the reason for it. making the actual computer cheaper and i suppose offering tape drives as an alternative (which i guess would be considerably less costly than the disk drives?) makes sense enough

i don't know, there's been some extraordinarily bad management wrt computer hardware. at least commodore made several successful home computers, which is more than can be said for some

the tape drive (here) cost about 1/5 to 1/4 of the price of the computer/diskette drive in the early days. and then there were cartridges, of course. a lot of the early and a lot of the late Commodore 64 games came on cartridge.

the disc drives were not super prevalent early on in the c64's life. most software was tape-and-cart based.

i'm honestly amazed commodore ever managed to release a single product given that the entire company consisted of sleazy conmen and coke-head middle managers

...it explains exactly why the c128 was such on over-complicated mess though

The Commodore 128 Diesel would've been a great microcomputer for small business if not for the fact that software houses were focusing on MS/PC-DOS and its also-rans instead of CP/M by then. Or possibly home use (no need for the D then) if the actual 128 portion were just a bit more enticing games-wise. Better graphics, better sound, more more memory, and a not-one-button controller.

considering a modern multi-device USB-C charger has a microcontroller soc in it hundreds of times more powerful than every computer involved in any given apollo space program mission the idea of "a whole microcomputer running the disk drive" is kind of a distressing retro-echo
