Daily Tech News 22 July 2024
Top Story
- Southwest Airlines escaped the CrowdStrike debacle because they are still running Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. (Tom's Hardware)
One small problem with this story: It's complete bullshit. (Twitter)
It's an internet meme. But even the guy who created the meme got confused and thought it was real.
Seriously, nobody runs their business on Windows 3.1. It doesn't even work properly on a computer with more than 512MB of RAM. Neither does Windows 95.
Tech News
- Speaking of which: The Apollo DN10000, a four-processor Unix workstation form 1988 with up to 128MB of memory. (Jim Rees)
Which used to be a lot.
- Global IT outage shows dangers of cashless society, campaigners say. (The Guardian)
Yeah, no shit.
- A ransomware attack has shut down the largest trial court in the US, the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. (AP News)
Shame. A couple of hours later and all their computers would have been down with the CrowdStrike disaster and safe from hackers.
- Speaking of which more than 1500 flights were cancelled yesterday as technicians continue to turn things off and on again. (CNN)
Meanwhile interest in retiring and moving to Idaho to take up potato farming is at an all time high.
- A fake hotfix for the CrowdStrike problem is actually a RAT. (HackRead)
Because of course it is.
- Elon Musk is "gambling with Tesla's future" by endorsing Donald Trump. (The Verge)
Gotta love how they quote Trump saying But you can't have 100 percent of your cars electric. as though it's a gotcha moment rather than a simple fact.

Quite a few decades ago I convinced a school library to go full tech and throw out their card catalog. Installed a Clipper program I wrote on a computer running NT. It was rock solid for two plus decades. But the school closed down. For now anyway.
I fear the call I may get someday when the school opens up again and wants to use the library. Maybe I'll tell them my Uncle was eaten by cannibals and they'll take the hint.

The storage address fields and registers were limited in size. Calculating an address which results in one beyond the maximum value these counters can hold can cause them to rollover back to zero and above, leading to unpredictable results.

It's because of the way the original IBM PC was originally designed. Memory locations above a certain address were set up to be read only or to do something as opposed to just being memory. Above 640k you had ROM BIOS and all your I/O.
Also, the hardware could only address 1 MB of memory, so having more memory involved bank switching, where you'd have a memory area that was like a spot in a three ring binder where you could hold a single loose page at a time, but only one.
The design team had no idea what they were building would be the basis for most computers four decades into the future, so they went with something easy to manufacture instead of something that would be easy to extend. If, way back when, you'd told them "Someday this will be extended into the gigabytes" they could have saved us a lot of pain.

That's a really good question. The hardware supported up to 4GB, though you couldn't get that much at the time.
But if you installed more than 512MB, the operating system failed in weird ways. I know there was an issue with disk caching that would corrupt your hard drive if you had too much memory.

Isn't this sort of like wondering about why a punch card computer can't run Windows 3.1. It's just something so far out that they can't conceive creating the framework to utilize it? I imagine Windows 3.1 is built on older shit which had a lot of those limitations in it. I mean don't we have a lot of stuff out there now that doesn't play well with 32bit operating systems since 64 is much more the standard?

Most of the computing power was on the ground. They had two floors of computers at mission control, each identical, one as a backup. IBM 360s, about a half dozen of them. I don't know how that compares to a calculator but they had some bit of computing power to bear.

Electronics cause inflation to be massively understated. The way it works is they sort of pro-rate the price based on the new capability.
Let's say the "basket" included a 50" television last year, and it cost $2000. This year nobody is buying 50" televisions, so they put the 60" television into the basket, and it also costs $2000. But since it's more capable than last year's television, they'll reduce the cost for the calculation, e.g. the screen is about 30% larger, so they'll reduce the price by 30% and pretend the price is $1400 before they run the numbers.
From what I can tell the basket is also electronics-heavy, though I'm not sure if they're doing it to understate inflation or if other people just spend a lot more on electronics than I do.

Similar to how the stock market - except for a very few players like Nvida - appears to be mostly inflation related increases over the last four years, but the market is doing great.

I remember that. Before he did it he said something like "If you're squeamish you might want to look away."
They'd caught him embezzling or something.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 22, 2024
STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN ON CLIMATE POLLUTION REDUCTION GRANTS
"When I think of climate change, I think about jobs – good-paying, union jobs that put Americans to work, rebuild our nation's aging infrastructure, and support our transition to a clean energy future. As climate change continues to fuel more extreme impacts on communities across the country, we are using every tool in our toolbox to reduce pollution, lower families' energy costs, advance environmental justice, and make our communities more resilient. Today my Administration is empowering local communities across 30 states to cut pollution and fight the climate crisis – from curbing greenhouse gas emissions in Pennsylvania to flood-proofing infrastructure in North Carolina. Today and every day, I will continue working to protect American families from harmful pollution and build a clean energy future."

We once had a guy show up at our warehouse asking if we had anything that ran Win3.1. After getting over the horror, we asked why.
"Oh, the program we use only runs on 3.1."
"You need to get a new vendor" was the boss's answer.

That's the trick. There are no new jobs. Any jobs that the forceful restructuring into the thing no one wants can only move jobs from one to the other.
And those people already have good jobs.

Quite a few decades ago I convinced a school library to go full tech and throw out their card catalog. Installed a Clipper program I wrote on a computer running NT. It was rock solid for two plus decades. But the school closed down. For now anyway.
I fear the call I may get someday when the school opens up again and wants to use the library. Maybe I'll tell them my Uncle was eaten by cannibals and they'll take the hint.

I am slowly getting rid of stuff no longer needed here. Last evening I was looking through papers and notebooks from my time at DuPont. It was strange and awkward at the same time.
Why was I ever interested in that? I have no idea what this even means. That was some interesting work on a good idea -- it's too bad that I had reached the "I don't want to do this anymore" stage of my career and it died on the vine.
And all this searching was me looking for the documentation (and maybe code) that I had done on a system in VBA that was a robust cleaner of measurements of color from the aftermarket that served body shops. I've found files related to that work, but not the work itself. Yet.
