Really interesting question, actually. If we are talking computers, the Toshiba T3200 is my ABSOLUTE favorite. You can see information about it here: https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/4435/Toshiba-T3200/ In terms of *any* machine, probably the UNIVAC 1232, the military version of UNIVAC 490; it's not actually a computer, but rather an I/O device. More like a keyboard than anything! Thank you for coming, Ashle!! I'll be sure to sign your ata if you have one. Have a good one!

WOMAN ARE YOU CRAZY? ...They're black and grey, typically. =__= I'd hope he wouldn't short-circuit. Either he'd be overheating or his movements would get heavier / slower, as it'd be harder for his controllers to keep up with his mind.

Understood! My answer is below. :^) I hope you are having fun in your courses today! Please be well, and take care of yourself! Have a good one.

This is a fact I forget and remember constantly; did you know that half of a byte (bite; 8 bits) is called a nybble (nibble; 4 bits)? It makes me happy. In my opinion, it really depends. You should look more into the different fields of Computer Science and figure out exactly which one is appealing to you, as the area is large. If you enjoy what you're doing now in high school, I'd definitely recommend going to college for it, and then trying to build other things/join tech events. Not only is it fun to work alongside others but it reminds you of why you enjoy programming in general! In college, coding courses can sometimes be extensive and hard to enjoy... It's a lot of learning and not a lot of building things yourself, so being able to do those things on the side helps keep you afloat. Just remember: there's a lot of fields in CS; I went to college for Software Development and realized how much I hated it! I have always had an interest in Malware Analysis, so I switched concentrations to that and I have NEVER been happier. It just depends on what you're into, and in college, as long as you've got enough money, you can take as long as you need to figure that out. (Maybe not too long, but don't feel trapped if you realize you're not enjoying something. There's always time to switch!)

MRI machines get their usecase from coils that carry electricity and different currents. These coils switch very quickly between positive and negative electrical currents during a scanning process to get a clear understanding of the organs underneath your many, many layers of flesh! The movement of changes between currents is what causes all that noise. Electricity is very, very loud when it's disturbed! Thank you so much for enjoying it!! I hope to put a lot more there soon (specifically the coding for small robots), so if you're interested seeing that, don't be afraid to follow me! :]

02/02/2026, 8 PM Update: We still don't know. Check back in later. It's happening less frequently now. It could potentially be malware? 02/09/2026, 9 AM Update: Pretty sure it's just the previous Windows update messing with our system. We're too lazy to undo it. Oh well.

I don't, sincere apologies. That's too far out of my field of study, unfortunately. Ich auch, 428. Aber vielleicht ist es so besser.

The only one I could think of is Sad Mac, Sad iPod, and Sad Tab on MacOS hardware. You can look them up on Google for images, they're very cute in my personal opinion! (Sad Tab has always been a favorite of mine... He's dead, Jim.) Also, thank you so much!! I wish you a lot of luck in medicine! I'll be cheering you on, I can promise you that. Let's both do well!

Hello! For the first question, did you know one of the first "programming languages," FORTRAN (or Formula Translating System), which dates back to 1957, was made specifically for mathematical and scientific calculations and estimations? This is back when things were programmed with paper and pencil, or on punch cards; where all the code existed either in 1s and 0s or a vast amount of mnemonic-reliant instructions in your head. People back then thought the idea of using languages was a stupid idea, as the compilers for FORTRAN were absolutely terrible (on account of them being some of the very first ones!) and sometimes made code WORSE. Eventually, though, the compilers got better, and thus, more people opened their eyes to coding languages instead of Assembly. It's rather interesting how we used to stick our nose up at the idea of new things, and now we do the same at old things. If you really want to learn old stuff on a professional level, that'll be difficult without being in an educational setting. Still, there are many, many books out there that can teach you what the old days used to look like. Ones you may like that are in my collection at the moment are Programming in Assembly Language on the IBM PC by Richard H. Tropper, Computer: A History of the Information Machine by Martin Campbell-Kelly, and A Science of Operations by Mark Priestley. If you're truly wanting to make a career out of it, you may want to look for entry-level jobs at old companies like IBM (or really any old company. So much of our society still relies heavily on 50 year old computers! Imagine if you were one of the ones who knew how to use it? ;D) I wish you well in all you hope to accomplish!! Good luck, and have a good one!

For the question: there's no such thing as a "legitimately random number," at least not for any computer you can buy on the market. There's most likely computers out there that can, but they aren't generating anything, and are simply measuring something natural that is random. Normal computers, on the other hand, need a beginning and an end. What you get comes in between that. Infinity doesn't exist to a computer, similar to how it doesn't exist to us. It's a concept that can't be realized with proof, so it can't exist in computing; the closest thing that a computer can get to infinity is a repeating decimal. Calculators freak out when you do specific calculations with 0 because 0 is the absence of something, and you need something to calculate another thing. If a person saw something incomprehensible - something that was the absence of something - to the human eye, which can only see things, and were told to describe it AS SOMETHING with only their human knowledge, they would freak out too, right? Now, for the fact: Computers use a lot of tricks to perform "random" functions. Every program or language does it differently. Do you know how seeds work in Minecraft? They randomly generate an entire world based on a couple of numbers and math. Random functions do the same thing. They get seeds, then they do math, and perhaps they add a little something extra in that randomizes it even more. The one that Python uses is known as the Permuted Congruential Generator, or PCG, which you can read about here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permuted_congruential_generator Hope you're doing well, sir.

The OS? I use it out of necessity (for my college courses), but I'm more of a Windows person for everything. I find it fun at times, and I like the transparency of everything in the file system, as well as just running certain programs easier, but I can't get used to it enough to *like* like it. I use Arch btw . . . I don't, actually. I use Kali and Debian in VMs, but I have an instance of Ubuntu commandline running on my base personal computer for very specific situations. Merry Christmas!! I'm guessing this is Shadow from SBR/TCK? I hope you're well, man!

They're very cute!! I used to own a few expensive ones as a child, I loved them to death. :] Who left this damn trophy in my ata... /j
