I did a multilingual display with an 8031 in 1995 on a 2x16 text LCD. I had 128 bytes of RAM and an EPROM. Did English, Spanish and German.

You kids have it so easy nowadays. 🤣

The 8-bit Intel 8051 family provides a dedicated bit-addressable memory space (addresses 20h-2Fh in internal RAM), giving 128 directly addressable bits. Used them for years. I'd imagine many microcontrollers have bit-width variables.

bit myFlag = 0;

Or even return from a function:

bit isValidInput(unsigned char input) { // Returns true (1) if input is valid, false (0) otherwise return (input >= '0' && input <= '9'); }

If you dig you can find this on Amazon. I've been buying from Amazon since 1995 and the last time I looked my purchases were somewhere around $260,000. And that was before covid.

They refilmed it without the truthiness.

Welcome! I've been here since the API fiasco killed everything but their app.

Lemmy feels like old school reddit, I like it.

I feel smart because I met Penn in his dressing room in Vegas few years back and discussed Gary Johnson's running for President. But I came to my senses years ago...

My digital thermostats have Alexa built in. When I first installed them I went around telling people "I know I live in the future because my thermostat can play the Beatles".

Also, I have a heated coffee mug. I have legitimately used the sentence "My coffee mug is doing a firmware update."

That's what I said above. First two terms can't be consecutive. Ridiculous.

That's it. It's just a pretty idea with no bearing on reality if not enforced.

You don't think they're covering that contingency?

They rules they have formulated and want to pass as law are that the first two terms must not be consecutive. This would preclude Obama from having a third term.
