If you activate the esim in your iPad with AT&T , it is thirty dollars for unlimited data. If you activate your esim on your iPhone for data only, it’s thirty dollars for three gigs or sixty dollars for six gigs with rollover. The other option is to get the special 45 dollar prepaid unlimited plan. I don’t understand why they charge more for data only for iPhone versus data only for iPad

Pata had a problem where you could only have 4 hard disk devices. Each pair of hard disks took up an IRQ. And the host of course has to do the transfers. so accessing your hard disk steals attention from the cpu

scisi supported a chain of up to 15 devices and it only used one IRQ. And the hard disks can move data between each other without the CPU being involved. 


IRQs back in the old days were very precious. if your computer had a printer , a sound card , a modem , and a mouse. Well that was it. u had no more room for any more devices.  Maybe you could throw in additional cards that don't use IRQs

the IBM PC AT gave you more IRQs. But you really only had irq 9 free. And that was used for your video card 

you young kids that build your own computers don't know the pain

FireWire 400 is actually faster throughout then USB 2 480 megabit at least a TV the time , or maybe still. Because FireWire is peer to peer. And USB requirres the hosts CPUs attention to do transfers. 

Firewire is higher voltage. We would probably be still using FireWire if it wasn't for Apple wanting royalty payments on every computer sold

if the iPhone and iPad had FireWire Ports. You wouldn't even need iTunes. You could just sync all your apple devices by connecting them to each other. Technically you could back up your iPhone to your iPad Pro with FireWire 

Toyota wants $500 for a Prius key. This will never happen. They want their $75 for your cabin air filter. 

a better article would of been make sure you erase your pram when you sell your mac , because thats another place where macs store wifi passwords. try it sometime.
erase your hard disk completely, and do an internet restore , and it will connect to your wifi!! and if you do a pram reset, it will then ask you for the login credentials because
they were erased!!!

as far as mongo bongos reply goes. need more info. maybe youre talking about the hash????

when you connect to a wifi network , its not really the password that connects you to the wifi network. its the mathematical hash of the wifi password combined with your network name (ssid ) . for example, a wifi network name of appleinsider, and a password " appleinsiderpassword ", generates a hash of " e70f772ac2efd170dc485b19f19ac9a237cdbfbdc816a402fd5a3d9b08a94c52 " and its that hexicimal string that actually connects you to the wifi network. 

this is why you don't use common SSID names like "NETGEAR" because those hash tables are available or download

the hash as i call it, is actually called the PRE SHARED KEY. the preshared key can be used as the password. if someone asks you for your wifi password, give them the key instead. and it will work. i use PSKs all the time, because it saves me from typing special characters
