Intel introduced the 8086 microprocessor in 1978 and it still has a huge influence through the modern x86 architecture used today. This 16-bit processor contains a bunch of registers, some of them hidden. I reverse-engineered the 5-bit code that it uses to select registers. 🧵

The Intel 8086 processor (1978) has a complex instruction set with instructions from 1 to 6 bytes long. How does the processor determine the instruction length? It turns out that there is no explicit length. A ROM says if 1 or 2 bytes, then microcode fetches bytes until done. 🧵

The UK government recently told the BBC that its Online Safety Bill does not represent a ban on end-to-end encryption. So I fact-checked it.

Fact Check: the UK and its Online Safety Bill

If you have followed technology news for a while, you will have heard of the Online Safety Bill in the UK. This bill, framed as “a new set of laws to protect children and adults online,” will make “social media companies more responsible” for what we see via their platforms.
