A user commented that the linked video has many errors, I've added a warning.
Jul 9, 2020 at 6:17 comment added Raffzahn Ouch. That video gets so much wrong. It should be deleted right away before spreading any further - if only for his lazy way justifying the few errors he found. He mixes up early PC versions, how punch cards work, calls paper tapes punch cards, ignores the wide use of 6 bit codes based on ITA2, assumes that codes needs to be sorted in alphabetic order, using never used 6 hole tape, ... All in the first 4 minutes when I stopped counting. And all to support some rather exotic theory of influence. Bottom line: People will end up less informed than without watching.
