So far Windows 10 has protected me from my music files (deleted), my purchased software (used to run in VM, not any more) and most recently hardware adapters like USB to Serial that I use daily to talk to embedded hardware.
Thankfully, I still have a couple of Win7 machines that escaped the auto-update.
I "registered" my drone as required and nowhere in the process was there anything to identify my drone.
In other words, my drone isn't registered; I am registered as a drone owner.
What good is that?
If someone misuses their drone the FAA sends out a list of local drone owners?
Convincing Kawasaki would be a better test. The well grounded sort are seldom visionary and a truly new idea will require more salesmanship than the average techie can muster.
I completely disagree with the "don't worry about confidentiality" sentiment. Reputable professionals will sign an NDA and maybe even your friends should. Patents have been 'lost' by the determination that the information had been discussed in the 'public domain'.
Since Microsoft bought QDOS I assume MSDOS was derived from QDOS.... The 8088 was virtually identical to the 8086 except it had an 8 bit instead of 16 bit data bus. Same address space and instruction set.
If you look at the structure of MSDOS 1.0 and CP/M 2.0 they're so similar it's as if (using the names of the available tools):
sourcer cpm.bin > source.a80
resolve data usage, variables & strings
cnvrt86 source.a80 > ripoff.a86
resolve register usage, BX msdos.obj
link86 msdos.obj > msdos.bin... viola!
a great way to get compatibility if ever there was one.
No argument printing and literacy are linked. However, since most people would consider the Bible more of an historical account than "the main source of information", even 'at that time', it's a weak premise that printing the Bible awakened people to any greater purpose. Besides which, printing only correlates to the Bible thanks to Gutenberg. It is rather narrow minded, if not self serving, to 'read' more into that correlation.
It isn't the control of the Bible but the control of ideas that the printing press removed the strangle hold on.
Don't be afraid to speak out when you think the person is losing touch, they often appreciate the reality check themselves, but be compassionate. There's a lot of fear based reasoning to contend with but it's a rollercoaster ride that doen't always leave them incapable of seeing themselves, or you, as constants. Be a constant and may you have many pleasant days with your sister.

Japan started broadcasting in HDTV in 1978. Need I say more about technical leadership?
