Sir Terry Pratchett used to say "Never trust a device which weighs less than its manual." The IBM 5322 Datamaster was a heavy, solidly-built 'desk computer' that still weighed less than the multiple-stacked-feet's worth of its documentation.

This comes less than a week after inspections by the BCA found incorrect installation procedures had affected some DataMaster DMT machines in Winona, Chippewa and Atkin counties.

I asked a PhD economist to explain how a gas engine worked. He couldn't even start. He drove a white SUV.

I am somewhat cynical about affluenza because so many people buy stuff that they don't understand but I regard as junk.

I had to write my own benchmarks at IBM. Corps hide information.

Economists seem to concentrate on Money and Cash Flow like that can account for everything. But they are techno-illiterates like most consumers.
So we are turning the planet's natural resources into garbage for Cash Flow and making lots of pollution in the process.

You are the datamaster. Legions of functions are your army. You will control the central processing unit. No one shall stand in your path, or they will be formatted.

アルコール呼気検査の不備が報告される中、ミネソタ州の DWI 執行はどのような立場にあるのでしょうか?

ミネソタ州刑事取締局の血中アルコール検査装置の欠陥データの影響は拡大し続けているが、ミネソタ州では先週末も飲酒運転逮捕は問題なく続いた。 金曜日、BCAは「各機関がガスシリンダーのデータが各機器に正しく入力されていることを確認するまで」DataMasterの使用を一時停止するよう命じた。 月曜の記者会見で、BCAのドリュー・エバンス長官は、機械が完全にオフラインになったことはなく、必要なのはすべてが正しく動作していることを確認するための5分間のチェックだけだったと述べた。…
アルコール呼気検査の不備が報告される中、ミネソタ州の DWI 執行はどのような立場にあるのでしょうか?
ミネソタ州刑事取締局の血中アルコール検査装置の欠陥データの影響は拡大し続けているが、ミネソタ州では先週末も飲酒運転逮捕は問題なく続いた。 金曜日、BCAは「各機関がガスシリンダーのデータが各機器に正しく入力されていることを確認するまで」DataMasterの使用を一時停止するよう命じた。 月曜の記者会見で、BCAのドリュー・エバンス長官は、機械が完全にオフラインになったことはなく、必要なのはすべてが正しく動作していることを確認するための5分間のチェックだけだったと述べた。 エバンス氏は、現在、影響を受ける可能性のある検査が276件確認されていると述べた。それらはそれぞれ個別に検討されており、欠陥のあるテストの数はさらに増える可能性があります。 法執行当局は通常、飲酒運転で人を停車させた後、警察官に予備呼気検査を実施させて血中アルコール濃度を記録させることでこのような事件に対処する。運転手が検査を拒否した場合、逮捕される可能性がある。検査に同意した場合、警察官は路上検査と併せて予備呼気検査を利用して逮捕を進め、容疑者を連行してさらなる検査を受けることができる。予備的な呼気検査データは十分に正確ではないため、法廷では使用されません。それは、法執行機関が誰かを拘束し、さらなる検査を行うために必要なツールの1つにすぎません。 ミネソタ州の法廷で使用される血中アルコール濃度の呼気検査はすべて DataMaster マシンで行われます。これらはすべての郡で使用されており、州内には 220 か所あります。この装置には、呼気検査でのアルコール測定値が正しいことを確認するための対照として使用される既知のアルコール濃度の乾燥ガスシリンダーが付いています。この機械は同じガスシリンダーで繰り返し使用され、通常はメンテナンスのために返送され、現場に戻される前に毎年再認定を受けます。 現在の問題は、法執行当局が予備呼気検査装置用のガスシリンダーをDataMasterマシンに挿入したか、シリンダーを間違って挿入したことに起因する。 Original Title: アルコール呼気検査の不備が報告される中、ミネソタ州の DWI 執行はどのような立場にあるのでしょうか?

There is no such thing as an indestructible product but companies should be REQUIRED to provide reliability and performance specs on the products.

I never saw the word 'benchmark' on IBM documentation. I had to write my own to test the disappointing Datamaster 23.

A man with an Automobile Magazine who "Loved Cars" didn't know a cam shaft from a crank shaft.

Technological Illiterates are wrecking the planet.

🖥️ In 1981, IBM introduced the System/23 Datamaster—its first desktop computer aimed at small businesses. Though overshadowed by the IBM PC weeks later, the Datamaster laid key groundwork for personal computing, including the use of Intel processors. #ITHistory

The results were not what I was expecting.

The old machine, 5110, was almost twice as fast as the new machine, Datamaster 23. The ratios for the two programs were slightly different like 1.85 and 1.93 or something similar.

But that is not the funny part. The plot thickens!

I had to write my own benchmarks to test the System 23 DataMaster.

DataMunster more like it.

My problem is all of the natural resources being turned into garbage. I had to write my own benchmarks at IBM.

I got a call to fix a Datamaster 23. I was walking down the hall to the customer's office telling myself, "Don't walk in there and laugh at these dummies for buying that junk."

What have economists said about Planned Obsolescence since 1950? How can techies not know about it? We have to see it regularly and sometimes overcome the problems it causes.

Actually I mostly liked repairing machines. I hated 8-Tracks though. 🤣

I had to write my own benchmarks at IBM. I never even saw the word in their documentation. Then I found that they came out with a new computer that was slower than what it was replacing.

YOU are younger than I am. 🤣

I was fixing computers for IBM in 1980. I use what works, but I do not trust. I just verify!

IBM did not provide benchmark data. I wrote my own. 💶🤑😆

The System 23 Datamaster was crap.

Just because people spent more money does not mean that people got more or better stuff.
Economists are techno-illiterates.
