| Bad things in this time .. |
|
Lot of crap, false claims, incorrect technical info. And even blatant lies about some people's SW, work. Present in YT videos too. Example: Diego of ACSI2STM made YT video about my iTOS, with audio comments. He says that my iTOS can not boot/use regular hard disk drivers. Hmm - maybe should read what writes about it on pages on my site. https://atari.8bitchip.info/tosimprgu.html Quote: " Can boot regular hard disk drivers for diverse adapters in usual way. AHDI (TOS) type medias, partitions will work fine - new FAT16 handles all it well too. But is recommended to use more efficient DOS type partitions (easy to create with integrated partitioner or special PRG for that) , integrated driver, or special driver for this, what handles up to 30 partitions up to 1 GB . Look that low RAM usage of such driver in YT above. " And Diego says other stuupid things: like ACSI is not oficial name for Atari ST's hard disk port . Not to mention his really bad product names. ACSI2STM - lol - ACSI for ACSI port of STM . As I know it uses SD cards. And why STM ? Works it only with STM and not with ST ? I leave you to check what is STM and what is ST (if do not know it already). Can write more of Diego, but so far it is way enough. Space here is limited while count of crap is pretty much unlimited. No wonder that big % of users is confused a lot. And forums do not help. GitHub: see my post at 8bitchip forum: https://forum.8bitchip.info/atari-faq/mass-storage-hard-disk-now-rather-sd-card-with-atari-st-family/ So, SW bug is if some SW don't follow some rules, which appearead many years later ? Thank you professors on univ.-es teaching people so. One of the biggest problems with people in authority position is that they think that they are right in everything. Well, that's just not logical - just because being on position being in right with everything ? Nonsense. But that's what goes with power. Power disturbs human mind. Of course everyone likes to be in right (like always) - and that's just not possible. I know what I'm talking (pardon, writing) - saw bad things in my university first year - so called democratic election of cummunist party leading members - I was only who clearly (and loudly) disapproved whole process. Most of people present lought on my approach. And now we have result - so called democracy, what is not at all anymore. The really essential things newer change. Want something good in human relations ? Fight for it. And I just do it. Yes, only fight for normal behaviour will prevent those who do bad things, from purely selfish interests. It is well known thing in humankind history. Ahh, what is normal behaviour ? That's something really not discutable: acting in interest of most, others, community - and not only in interest of self, own narrow (or even wider) circle. Someone said 'corruption' ? Sure, that's what is happening now in big part, in biggest , so called 'elite' circles - yeah - are they elite, or some of result of neglectation ? I'm sure it is in biggest part neglecatation. As it happened and happens in this so called Atari ST community. Just same errors/problems as in today politics, commercialism (what are 2 very connected things (and it is corruption, since WW crysis in 30-es in 20-tht C. ) . Yes, really shameful that humankind did not learn from it, and in big part same horrible errors happens again. OK, some my ask/say - why so bad things are even possible ? Well, I have answer for it, and it is based on my longer life experience, with lot of custumers in my diverse jobs, and in my private life talks with people. It is shallowness - waste of people just can not think or maybe better said can not think enough detailed, enough precisely about things about talking with others (or even what they see/hear in media) . Why is it so ? I'm not sayin that all of them are not capable to think better - taking care of more details - what would of course need more time, thinking ... Well, maybe this is most interesting detail: here is some kind of common oppinion, or in my oppinion: manipulated one: simple explanation is the best, and 'I will accept only such one' . Huh - does it sound kind of egoistic ? Instead accepting that don't understand it, saying that 'I will do it as I like' - and similar. And that's what some politiants (sadly, now most of them) want. Yeah, they need followers. Is it democracy ? Huh, sure, it is demography in fact. We need change, for the sake of humankind future, for planet future, and for being still some intelligent specie. More will come soon - I hope, will be able to do it ... PP, Dec. 14 2025. |
