I remember my earlier days of assembler where they had bugs in them.I write mostly in assembler still. Spent to much time figuring why some crap compiler borked the code.
Mostly real time DSP stuff, of late.
A company we bought a suite of assemblers from had an 8086 assembler.
I started to write a program but quickly found it didnt work.
I traced problem down to one instruction which was coded wrong.
I let them know and they fixed.
Only for me to proceed a little further and find another one.
So wrote my own 8086 assembler avoiding bad instructions.
Once I got that working I just used that for software in my job and it worked well.
In later years I converted it to 80386.
I must have wrote millions of lines of code with it.
I remember my first job in software.
They took on a "genius" programmer and he started writing a 6502 program.
It was a complete disaster as the assembler had numerous bugs.
At that point I decided to leave and left them to sort the mess out.
I heard they went bust 3 months later.
I just stick to Win 10 - everything works on it just fine. Win 11 is still not fully finished product yet lol…
Windows 10 is almost EOL. I like Windows 11 much better, but it's still crap compared to Manjaro GNOME.
I remember my earlier days of assembler where they had bugs in them.
The assembler i used was well honed, but i did not complete an engineering project because we kept running into a bug in the Pascal compiler that was not discovered until after we got our marks, those were good but if there was not the bug, we would have gotten A+

Win 11 was terrible when it first came out.I just stick to Win 10 - everything works on it just fine. Win 11 is still not fully finished product yet lol…
Lots of bugs.
Its much better now.
I like the extra security of Win11. TPM and secure boot.
Cant get too much security.
yes, TPM is good to have. I also got myself hardware firewall just in case. I am using EdgeRouter Lite ERLite-3. I think OpenWRT is available for that one. I also have EdgeRouter ERX installed at my parents' place. I think those have really nice firewalls built in them.
