Doesn't exactly anwser your question, but Ben Eater has a series of videos where he builds an 8-bit computer on breaboard starting with a chip
Ben Eater Build an 8-bit computer from scratch
Gives a lot of insight into the workings, there are a couple of specific videos below, but the whole thing is fascinating.
The first thing is the CPU is powered - the microchip has a ground and dc positive pin. If you think about it interms of electronics, what is a "0" or "1": 0 is easy, it's ground voltage, but 1 needs to be voltage close to a reference - which the +ve provides. This dc reference voltage also provides the power to keep the values in the register. There isn't any flushing - the Clock (which is just a square wave) just gets the CPU to cycle.

This video tells you how CPUs actually execute machine code
How do CPUs read machine code? — 6502 part 2 - YouTube
Hope this helps - the videos are right on the edge of electronics / programming. Bill Woodruff's suggestion about the von Neumann architecture and Turing machines is excellent, it explains how we got to 8 bit chips

Dolly Parton is 77 today.
I'm not really a fan of her music, but I adore her just the same.
Edit: I just found out:
She's getting into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Her reaction was "I guess I better actually make a Rock & Roll album". And she is.
Ha!

She is a legend for sure. Love the music she made with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris.

She's an example of how celebrities should be.

This.
I don't mind some country music, but TBH there's only so much of her albums I can take.
That being said, I would NOT let anyone say a single bad word about her. As a human being, she's what a lot of people should aspire to be.

My kids have all benefitted from her Imagination Library, so I certainly have some admiration for her.
A friend of mine works at her theme park, Dollywood. He's mentioned that she's quite a lovely and respectful person.

If I remember correctly she's turned down a nomination to the Hall of Fame several times.

And the story behind it[^] is so much Dolly Parton... truly an icon.

She was officially inducted on November 5 last year.

Oh, well I'm just repeating what I heard from a friend. *shrug* Guess I was wrong.

Nice lady and singer, and does a lot for the world through her charities. I was surprised to hear about her Confederate-themed diner. It has changed formats, and is not (as?) offensive from other articles I've read, so she listened to criticism and is growing. Gotta respect that, too. I wish her well.

That's totally on brand. She's a class act. I don't expect her to be perfect, but she always seems to want to do right by the world - going out of her way to. I admire that about her immensely.

If you know her life history, especially early on, she was made of very tough stuff. Class act indeed.

When I visited Gatlinburg on the way to the Smoky Mountains I was told that no matter what political affiliation you have in Tennessee. "No one speaks bad about Dolly".

Wait - you mean the actress from that one episode of "The Orville"[^] is going to start a music career?

If you were on the side of the road, Dolly Parton would stop and help change your tire.
Same for Keneau Reeves. They are both legendary, and they are humble.
There is your nugget - be humble.

I cannot find a suitable forum for this question, so please forgive me for posting it here, or please suggest where I ought to be posting it.
Yesterday I got a prompt saying something about a security risk that malicious programs could overwrite protected storage locations and a link to a windows setting to switch on a hardware setting to prevent this happening. I cannot remember the exact details. I clicked the link and switched on the hardware feature.
Now, every time I start Windows, whether from a reboot or after an inactivity time out, I get a message box titled 'System Setting Change' with the message 'Your hardware settings have changed. Please reboot your computer for these changes to take effect !!'. I have searched the Settings menus and cannot see anything that looks like a setting related to this change. Further reboots have no effect.
Googling suggests that it is caused by changing AMD Graphics Cards. I am reluctant to touch that as the graphics card is part of the processor (AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vega Graphics (4 core)).
