“Every #byte has an atom”
@gerrymcgovern hat uns Einblicke in seine Vorstellung einer (#digitalen) #Zukunft gegeben. Sie ist #lokal und nutzt minimale #Ressourcen . Echte, nachhaltige #digitalisierung ist mehr als nur “#green #tech”. Sie fordert von uns, dass wir #Ressourcen min. statt immer mehr auszubeuten. Der Fußabdruck des #it Sektors sind eben nicht nur #co2 #emissionen.
Stay tuned for #NachhaltigkeitsAtlasIT den wir mit Unterstützung der #Postcodelotterie verwirklichen können.

What a time, what a great magazine. Finger on the pulse.

Tor Project představil nový šifrovací algoritmus Counter Galois Onion (CGO), který nahrazuje zastaralý systém tor1. CGO přináší výrazně lepší ochranu proti manipulaci a sledování, zajišťuje forward secrecy a silnou autentizaci přenášených dat, přičemž zachovává vysokou výkonnost a nízkou režii provozu.

Both Willow and #USVideo advertise their products as if reasonably knowledgeable people who aren't computer experts can use them. We make no doubt at all that this is true, but it's not simple. It’s going to take time. As Roberta says, before you can #genlock, you have to understand what genlocking is all about; and you only think you know that.

First came the# Willow manual: she reports that in 12 pages of text, there was not one single sentence that she understood, Part of it is the terminology, but some of it is the English: she’s not at all sure some of the sentences actually say what Willow thinks they say. The USVideo manual wasn’t a lot better. (j p) #Byte #ByteMagazine #Anno1990

But I'll break this off at Koko’s behest. #Koko (born 1971, with a potential span of more than 50 years) is the world’s most studied gorilla, and bids fair to be its most pampered Mac user.

She has an American Sign Language vocabulary of over 600 words. The pet of the #GorillaFoundation, she uses “a standard #MacII enclosed in a special gorilla-proof housing,” constructed of ½-inch polycarbonate for bolting to the floor of her trailer.

Apple's #Vivarium Program has even designed a customized inch-thick touchscreen “to withstand, the 2,000 pounds of force an excited gorilla can potentially generate.”

The problem, you see, is that angry or excited gorillas tend to “run full speed and backhand the object of anger,” and Koko's arm-swing is comparable to “a 10-pound shotput traveling at 100 miles per hour.” No wonder Project Koko helped the team to “a better understanding of human-computer interfaces.”

Some users do get _mad_. (h k) #Byte #ByteMagazine #Anno1990

Visualize All 23 Years of BYTE Magazine in All Its Glory, All at Once

<img alt="Visualize All 23 Years of BYTE Magazine in All Its Glory, All at Once" src="https://www.404media.co/content/images/2025/11/bytescreenshot.jpg" /><p>Fifty years ago&#x2014;almost two decades before <em>WIRED</em>, seven years ahead of <em>PCMag</em>, just a few years after the first email ever passed through the internet and with the World Wide Web still 14 years away&#x2014;there was <em>BYTE</em>. Now, you can see the tech magazine&apos;s entire run at once. Software engineer Hector Dearman recently <a href="https://byte.tsundoku.io/?ref=404media.co"><u>released a visualizer</u></a> to take in all of <em>BYTE&#x2019;s </em>287 issues as one giant zoomable map.</p><p>The physical <em>BYTE </em>magazine published monthly from September 1975 until July 1998, for $10 a month. Personal computer kits were a nascent market, with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_early_microcomputers?ref=404media.co"><u>first microcomputers</u></a> having just launched a few years prior. <em>BYTE</em> was founded on the idea that the budding microcomputing community would be well-served by a publication that could help them through it.&#xa0;</p><p>&#x201c;You need the hardware before you can progress through the first gate of a system. A virgin computer is useless so you add some software to fill it out. And the whole point of the exercise&#x2014;in many but not all cases&#x2014;i

The standard #IBM operating system #MVS (for Multiple Virtual Storage), was cranky and primitive. While you could run it from a terminal, a lengthy session with MVS might leave _you_ feeling like a punched card. (t y) #Byte #ByteMagazine #Anno1990

However, this study has also revealed how difficult it still is, even with state-of-the-art object-oriented technologies, to design and build components that are both useful and genuinely reusable, to, document their interfaces so that consumers can understand them, to, port them to an unceasing torrent of new hardware platforms, to ensure that recent enhancements or ports haven't violated some preexisting interface, and to market them to a culture whose value system, like that of the colonial gunsmith, encourages building everything from first principles to avoid, relying on somebody else's work.

The bad news is that some of DR DOS 5.0 is written in C; and the primary programming is being done in England. I've noticed that just about every time I find a large program with known glitches that no one seems able to fix, that program is written in C and is likely written by a programming team in a remote location.

Placeholder project banner featuring design sketches of a robot wolf pup plushie, Byte! The inked and colored drawings feature a laying down side view, held up front view, and a close-up of geometric paw beans. Sketches further back show the plush at an angle wearing a bandana with one of the Short Circuit pins attached, and the floppy robo paws from behind. Text on the banner reads, "Soft Circuit", "a whole new kind of softwere".

As early as 1946, #ArthurKoestler said that the sufficient condition for the destruction of totalitarian Communism would be the free exchange of ideas in the Soviet Empire. Distributed computing power automatically brings the free exchange of ideas. The small computer is the ultimate in samizdat (self-publishing) capability. It is literally impossible to prevent people with small computers from communicating with each other, nor is it possible to censor what kinds of informatiion they exchange.
