I suspect this was about computer design, and a fascinating presentation of that subject.

For privacy, wouldn't it make more sense to use old hardware? Things were so much more transparent in the DOS days.

I find obscure hardware designs cool, and this is no exception! Deviating from the common 8-bit design is something I've rarely seen, and though I didn't understand a lot of the deeper mechanics, the way you explained it was captivating.
