They have a hard coded exception that prevents it

I really enjoyed the guy who spent a few episodes talking about old computing technology If you can, i would love to see more videos about old technology Thanks Brady!

It probably has something to do with the algorithm used; that is, unless the calculator catches that it's trying to divide by zero, it'll be stuck trying until the battery runs out or until our merciful sun engulfs our planet

Brady, in the video Problems With Zero on Numberphile, you asked: When a calculator is told to calculate 20/0, how is it getting an error? Can you answer that now, when you have a Computerphile channel? :)

Hardware (or software) isn't a service, no matter how much Adobe would like you to think otherwise with their new subscription-based Photoshop

So yea, the actual point is that you never know your product is "locked" in some way If you can explain that with a lower cost, people might be fine with it, but still, doesnt feel right that as a customer you never get told that the product you buy has in fact a locked feature set, while its more expensive version is the very same, just unlocked If its so natural and economic, why not tell the customer right away ? Why hide it ?

of course - but in semiconductor manufacturing the yield for high end products is very small - so you have lofts of defective stuff its pretty sure that, if you get a bigger flash memory IC sold as a smaller one it is not limited just for fun or economic purpoposes, it if often because of defective parts which are disabled you can't see that from the outside but they are there

I never thought that 4GB flash drives would actually have 6GB

Wash your face! There's felt pen on your lip

To sum it up Its totally fine if the product is sold to the customer with the full knowledge that it is in fact a 16gb memory, just limited to 4gb But the customer doesnt know, the customers thinks (as thats what its told to him) its a phsycial 4gb memory, and thats what you pay money for Knowing that i would feel kinda cheated to pay more money for a 16gb memory, while i get the very same phsycial memory with the much cheaper 4gb product (i just have to unlock it) See what i mean ?
