About this deal

The concept of octet comes up more in networking standards than in local computing, because in being architecture-neutral it allows for the creation of standards that can be used in communicating between machines with different byte sizes, hence its use in IETF and ISO standards (incidentally, ISO/IEC 10646 uses octet where the Unicode Standard uses byte for what is essentially - with some minor extra restrictions on the latter part - the same standard, though the Unicode Standard does detail that they mean octet by byte even though bytes may be different sizes on different machines). Some architectures made use of proprietary encodings; a good example of this is the DEC PDP-10, which had a 36 bit machine word. By the latter part of the 1970s the industry settled on 8 bits as a de facto standard and architectures such as the PDP-8 with its 12 bit machine word became somewhat marginalised (although the PDP-8 ISA and derivatives still appear in embedded sytem products).

My question is a little too metaphysical, but I want to make sure it's just an historical reason and not a technological or mathematical reason. Extended ASCII codes (such as ANSI character sets) used the 8th bit to expand the character set with graphics, accented characters and other symbols. was a mixture of commercial success, it being a convenient enough number for the people thinking about it (which would have fed into each other) and no doubt other reasons I'm completely ignorant of. NET languages take the approach of defining int and long as fixed across all architecutres, and making dealing with the differences an issue for the runtime (particularly the JITter) to deal with.The revolutionary design of the datAshur includes a rugged extruded aluminum sleeve that is dust and water resistant to IP57 rating and crush resistant, protecting your datAshur from physical damage whilst keeping your data ultra-secure. The device can only be accessible by your unique 7-15 digit PIN, which is entered via the on-board alphanumeric keypad, giving yourself the peace of mind that whether your drive is misplaced or stolen, your data cannot be accessed by prying eyes. If the user forgets their PIN, the drive can be unlocked by the admin PIN, the admin can then allow the user to set a new PIN. For the anecdote, I was also thinking about the ASCII standard, in which most of the first characters are useless with stuff like UTF-8, I'm also trying to think about some tinier and faster character encoding. Edit: It may be worth adding to this, as some are insisting that those saying bytes are always octets, are confusing bytes with words.

Use it straight out of the box, the datAshur does not require any software or drivers to be installed and is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome, Android, Thin Clients and Embedded Systems.Don't mistake not mistaking the size of an octet of the size of a byte with mistaking the size of a word and the size of a byte. numbers are able to represent 256 (2 In languages which aim to be more consistent across machines, rather than reflecting the machine architecture, byte tends to be fixed in the language, and these days this generally means it is defined in the language as 8-bit. Built-in to the datAshur is a rechargeable battery allowing the user to enter a 7-15-digit PIN onto the on-board keypad before connecting the drive to a USB port. With no software or drivers required, the datAshur's advanced security features include auto-lock and brute force protection, delivering complete data security and guaranteeing 100% protection of your data at all times.
