IBM doesn't do wacky stuff like Pointer authentication that creeps into every corner of the spec, making everything more complicated …

No. AFAIK AIX only runs on PowerVM systems, which none of the OpenPOWER systems are.

That's an IBM TDP (i. e. maximum ever power), not an Intel TDP (i. e. maximum power at some arbitrary power state declared as 'base clock speed').

Yes but it refers to an electronic musical keyboard, not a computer keyboard, which is indeed „Tastatur”.

Do you have any literature on this being called a pseudo-mode and the tradeoffs between it and "real" modes? I am currently pretty interested in these kinds of topics.

On the other hand, people not only drive, but also oppose progress; as a smarter than me person (don't remember who it was) said: Science advances one funeral at a time (it's basically like evolution). If people stop dying (barring accidents), we'll basically stop advancing as well.

Also, there are function prologues/epilogues and sometimes additional instructions to satisfy the calling convention.

> And good plastics are plastic in the traditional sense of the word: if you drop them, they'll absorb the force by deforming and then spring back into place.

That's not what I was taught plastic meant. I was taught both plastic and elastic materials deform under force, but the elastic ones (not the plastic ones) return to their original form once the force is gone …

I do the same with man instead (even though I only used that program like 50 times the last year) … it even happens in any other program where you can input text …

What, you mean return copyright to a state that worked for, what, a century, and which meant that people could actually freely remix things they saw as adolescents within their lifetimes? Blasphemy!

Teletypes, which might have been what people where thinking of in the 60s and early 70s, didn't have a CPU AFAIK.

… but modern phones, watches and TVs are computers …
