Back in the old days you didn't have things like protected memory. No crash detection or abort. Not even MCE. No halts. The train really had no brakes.
What would happen instead is that the program would run on doing random insane things processing pictures in your porn library as CPU instructions and all kinds of a dance of death on the scream until it locked up or got caught in some eddies and in some very rare cases it would go on for ever like chasing down the end of an endless irrational number. You'd get screen garbage.
Crashes really were crashes, you would be greeted with a screen of twisted pixels and sprints with the program's guts spilt out as the programs raw instructions themselves turns up on screen. I feel a bit sad today's generation will never experience computing as I did in its infancy. Real men only program in real mode.
What I'm seeing now is like that. A real trainwreck politically. A total car crash. Like trying to piece together what happened rummaging around the pieces of a plane crash.
Techy video about recent VPNs getting their upstream traffic to the internet temporarily shut off by higher ups, Backbone of internet companies or government.
Rob's channel is awesome, very insightful and explains tech & censorship in a simple straightforward way. Its a travesty more people don't know about him.
