I used this simple example, which shows how to copy the VGA font to RAM, then reprogram it using BIOS calls. When compiled with Turbo C 2.01, the font uploaded to the VGA card will be trashed.
VGA INT 10H call expects a far pointer to the new font set in register pair ES:BP.
See the screenshots for further information.
I involuntarily (cheers @root42!) spent my Saturday on tracing down an ancient Turbo C bug. 😅
The intr() function, used to call DOS/BIOS interrupts will pass the wrong BP register value to the interrupt. BP is heavily used in stack handling, so intr() generates a BP-reload-and-INT-trampoline on the stack, but the BP reload offset it creates is off-by-four.
Fix: Look for the sequence C6 46 F4 E2 in affected binaries, and change E2 to DE.
More details in reply. 🧵
@HelenLockhart It did that to a friend of mine. I think it's a way to force the Boost button into your field of view, showing in your feed what others would see if you gave them money.
Or yet another bug. It could really go either way.

My personal experience is that at minimum AI usage leads to skills regression, and for lack of better word, codependency.
The thing to be terrified about with AI is not supposed super intelligence, it’s your labor being sold back to you.
