I see private networks and vlans ( and DHCP options etc ) on the *inside* but once it hits the router here, it's all public IP address and Internet, usually through NAT/PAT until it hits the SIP server. The private addresses don't carry over the Internet, and there are usually no VLANs or...

It's kind of fascinating. Valve has a different take - https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/ Of course, Windows 11 will work better for games, and is newer and better supported, so yeah, this makes sense ( Games is why I went to Windows 10 ). Interesting from that same survey - most gamers...

You understand what the "Thin edge of the wedge" means don't you? That's what you're describing. Stopping from using something doesn't make commercial companies take notice, it emboldens them to harm society with even more egregious activities and if you're not a part of the problem, you can't...

That's funny, because I swear every so often, roughly weekly, Microsoft reboots my computer intentionally to install Microsoft's latest upgrade patches for Windows 10, none of which I asked for, aside from intentionally trying to trick me into installing Windows 11 with a one-way accidental...

Yes, They've treated the copper side as the component side. Not the first time I've seen that happen. I used to put text on the PCBs to assist in determining the correct side. I wrote an article for a magazine a few years back, and they didn't realize when they made the PCBs ( something they...

I use WSL under windows 10 for this purpose, and most of the command line operation is the same. It even supports DOS style commands still like DIR, CD etc. So it's pretty comfortable to use. It's a built in feature and you only have to turn it on.

It really does need the manual written, with clear examples and descriptions - Otherwise I doubt anyone would understand how to use the features from the posts I make here including myself. Of course, that doesn't mean the manual will clear up everything - but it's better than me talking about...

You have a small oscilloscope right? Can you see the serial data coming from the keyboard into the computer? Serial data is really easy to see and decode visually.

2m and 5 second to be exact, and yes, it really was a different world where information took a long time to process. I remember writing a simple accounting package for someone in Basic using stringy floppies and he waited 30 seconds to a minute between updates when entering or looking up...

It all depends on what I'm doing with the labels and where they are coming from. Also whether the forward reference is in the same file, or is in the calling file. An include referencing forward labels outside of the include shouldn't generally happen, but can be addressed with conditional...

My emulator is written in basic and isn't very clever in it's design. It was written without experience and is somewhat amateurish in every sense of the term, and there was no planning in it's design or programming. I just kept adding stuff in the clumbsiest way imaginable until everything...

I fixed the CP/M bugs that caused CP/M to fail when running the assembler. It was a register I forgot to save before calling a BDOS function related to printing to the console. LokiOS didn't have the same issue, so I missed it entirely. Then I did some tests. Some times Loki Assembler took...

Yes, *reducing* ram usage isn't the same as addressing the lack of ram. It's a "percentage" improvement acknowledged, but it doesn't eliminate the problem - it just increases the number of labels in the table, but still within the same 64K limit. For an output file binary that's 16K, given the...

It's not as though I can address memory problems in RAM entirely through any strategy. All that's being established by any memory efficiency increases at this point is the approximate output code size capability. Initial collected data suggests it's pretty close to 1:1 at the moment even without...

Excellent work ! :) And congratulations of fixing it.
