The tape copy protection article is also terrible with nonsense like this "A copy of a Novaload tape made on a HiFi deck produced a normal-speed recording with the correct audio signal but which, when loaded on a C64, produced garbage — because the Kernal's standard tape decoder couldn't interpret the turbo encoding"

Thousands of kids in the playground with access to a tape-to-tape deck (which made Alan Sugar his fortune for Amstrad) would disagree. And the reason given is just plain wrong.

If this is the AI slop future, we're doomed.
