i see those asm commands there. brrrr. nothing for me, too cryptic, for me.

Rap: essentially yeah although you don't need multiple CPUs for multitasking, it can be "faked" -- like for example 'round robin', you ask each program "run your little bit" and then the next one, and the next one -- a single CPu can do this, if the progra

what is an opcode though? on right side, linus video. like asm commands?

to do "multitasking" (many programs at once) there must be rules, and nobody can break them. so usually you can't POKE someone else's buttocks

yes. no multitasking in old cpu's

but imagine, on your modern PC, if a single program controls it all! then your clock time would stop counting, and you couldn't hit Start button, and get no updates, --

so, the idea is: on a c64 (or speccy, etc. 1980s) you run one program at a time, and THAT PROGRAM CONTROLS THE ENTIRE MACHINE and all memory, you see

whatta. I'm so out of that steam stuff also not interested in reddit achievements. this kid stuff others can do (fullfiil, fill?)
