computer molester posted:i seriously wanna know what the gently caress could cause this vga glyphs are stored in a lookup table so if that is broken i would expect it to replace the letters with consistently the wrong letter, like a cipher that substitutes o for g, but it doesn't look like it is doing that, it sometimes displays the correct o then sometimes replaces o with g. however it also displays a full word incorrectly twice in the same way (the word normally) so something repeatable is happening, maybe there is a hysteresis involved so that it fucks up a letter depending on what the last letter was, or a state machine that is out of wack. or the source text could just be hosed up but then i don't know how you'd end up repeating the same errors like that.

The Management posted:the two common failures seem to be 'o' -> 'g' and 'i' -> 'a'. both of these letters are 8 apart in ascii values. a likely explanation is that one of the data lines leading to the memory or one of the columns in the ram or cache is flaky and occasionally dropping bit 3, which is subtracting 8 from that byte. why o and i are commonly affected is not obvious to me. yeah, these vga registers are probably in the 2d hardware, not stored in memory. vga look up tables for chars and things are tiny and you are not gonna go out to memory because it has to be super fast, the character maps are all stored in the vga unit and you look them up with mmio access. there could be a register file in the vga hardware that has a stuck bitline of something. when i go to work tomorrow maybe i can dig up a vga spec and see what the addresses are of all those chars that are wrong.

here is the uncorrupted version: in vga text mode, you write the text for the frame, then you send that to the vga hardware and the VGA hardware is just gonna look up the glyph for each text character by the ascii code. the glyphs that I see substituted (and their ascii codes) are o->g 0x6F->0x67 n->f 0x6E->0x66 N->F 0x4E->0x46 ,->$ 0x2C->0x24 i->a 0x69-0x61 so you immediately notice that they're all off by 8, that is, they all are a difference of one bit flipping, the bit in position 3 (because 2^3 is 8). code:

friend of mine had a 1928 buick and the manual said "have your man adjust the spark gap every 500 miles". because there was so much maintenance you had to had a dedicated full time manservant to drive you around in it and keep it running he also had a mode A ford. didn't need oil changes, which sounds better than todays cars but then you read the manual and see that it had no oil pan - it just dumped oil out onto the ground and you put new oil in every 500 miles. the manual actually said this was a feature because it helped keep dirt roads from getting too dusty. modern things are a lot more reliable and low maintenance. a new car will go 7500-10,000 miles without even an oil change, just gas, and it won't have a carb that needs to be adjusted when the humidity changes and other poo poo like that that we forget about today.

upgrading pc parts is fun but it comes at a cost - the standard form factor - that limits how small and light you can make things. also computers really only last 4-6 years tops before you start to feel the need for more speed.

Sagebrush posted:i have a friend who worked at the henry ford museum when he was in college, as a guide and driver of the old model Ts that you can get a ride in yeah i was a pro too until i got in the buick and was like me: "what is this lever on the steering wheel hub?" him: "that adjusts spark timing" me: "i'm out" also the model A had to go up steep hills backwards to keep the gas tank (also the dashboard) above the engine. driving a model t sounds about as complicated as that silent movie piano guy pulling all the levers. hit it joe! <me stalls immediately>

also, pooping into a mercury filled toilet your poop would just sit on top of the mercury and smell bad unless you poops have amazing density, which defeats the whole point of the toilet.
