No, it wasn't. This was just the side-effect of using magnetic cores. If
any other technology would have been as cheap and fast as core memory,
it would have been used.

As soon as *non-volatile* integrated circuits became cheaper, they
replaced core memory within a few years, because the proporty "non
volatile" was not the important thing. Instead having a lot of cheap RAM
was much more important - also when core memory was invented.

  Sorry, but that's nonsense. I gave some examples from that era, where
non-volatility was not a 'side-effect', but an essential property
without which the system(s) couldn't function,, especially in the
abscence of on-line mass-storage.

  That's just your opinion, not a fact.  Anyway neither of 'us' can
prove that either way.

  I think you mean "*volatile* integrated circuits", otherwise the rest
of your comments do not make any sense. And indeed, after the second
generation HP computers with core memory (2100), the third generation
(21MX) had volatile RAM with ICs.

If a property exists in a technology, it is used - of course. But this
does not mean, that a technology was especially designed for this use case.

Exactly - *volatile* memory chips replaced core memory when they got
available and cheaper than core memory, because implementing RAM was the
main use case for core memory and not the fact, that it is non-volatile.

Even machines with core memory still had some kind of external storage
(punched tape, magnetic tape, drum memory etc.) because you still need
some kind of permanent storage even with core memory.

Yes, sort of. - It's not that simple, though...

External permanent storage was also used because of its "mass storage"
property. Consider for example large amounts of data to be processed
using tapes; some algorithms like 'merge-sort' still reflect that.
And drums were (AFAICT) used as (compared to hard disks) fast-access
memory not as permanent storage; their capacity was not that large but
they had a lot of fixed heads to read/write data in parallel.

As mentioned elsethread; the storage properties define their possible
uses, and there are a lot more properties than permanent/volatile.

  Nor does it mean it was *not* designed for this use case.

  Disagree. I that same period, less expensive mass storage became
available, so volatile RAM was less of a problem. N.B. When the first HP
computer (2116) came out, there was *no* mass storage device available.
That (2757A) came two years later. The 21MX (volatile RAM) came eight
years after the 2116 (core memory).

  Yes, but as I explained, they only needed that external storage *once*
to load and for the rest only to save/load the program, not the OS. Mag
tape, drum memory, etc. are seperate cases, they are not just to load
the OS and save/load programs, but also for mass storage. The systems I
mentioned, only used paper tape and magnetic cards.

  Anyway. let's drop this silly (non-)discussion. As I said, it's just a
matter of opinion and we're not going to agree.

It was non-volatile. That is a matter of indisputable fact.

Why wait for *non-volatile* ones? If the non-volatility was not important, 
the replacement would have happened sooner.

No, *volatile* of course. I was just not checking my text before sending

  Well, we (HP) sold computers (2116/2115/2114) with BASIC, were the
core memory kept the 'OS', the interpreter and the user's program(s).
They did not have mass storage, only paper tape for the intitial load of
OS/interpreter and to save/load programs.

  Same for the 9100A/B 'calculator's of the time. Program and data in
core memory. Yes, program and data could be loaded from and saved to
creditcard-sized magnetic cards, but core memory was definitely intended
to be non volatile storage.

Most (if not all) of the so-called "misunderstandings" are intentional.

I.e., intentional strawmanning.

Hi Carlos,

If you don't ever use editors on a mobile device, then that's unusual.
Most people experience using editors on a mobile device, even if you don't.

But I find it hard to believe you don't use editors on a mobile device.

You don't use offline maps for example? Really? Seriously?
How do you navigate using your phone when there is no Internet signal?

Offline map editors are just one type of editor on an Android phone.
I, for one, do a lot of editing on an Android phone.

Another editor is Keepass2Android. There are plenty of Android editors.
Most (if not almost all) my private data is stored on the sd card.

> And, my editor by default inserts photos inside the document file. 

Photo editors are a different breed of app when it comes to "finding" their
files. I'm not sure *how* media is handled differently than, oh, say, text
files such as GPX files or PDF files or whatever - but there is some
"magic" on a phone that seems to find all media, no matter where it is.

So media (such as images & video) I think is a special case in this regard.

That is, even if you changed the volume name (aka volume label) of your sd
card, the image & video editors still seem to *find* the sd card files.

If those on this newsgroup can edify us as to why that magic only works for
media files, and not for, oh, say, text files (such as GPX files), please
elucidate why other formats (such as PDF, gpx, kml, etc.) aren't easily
found.

I love your suggestion of symlinks, but as I painstakingly explained,
nobody yet has proposed a way to do it that I know of, for Android.

If you can get symlinks to work on the sdcard for Android, you'd be a far
more intelligent man than I am, so I'll patiently await how you do it.

Hmm... how do you edit GPX or KML files? 

Do you copy them from the sd storage to main storage just to edit them?
Why?

Hmm. If you have never done it, and if all your suggestions can't possibly
work, why are you making those suggestions which have no hope of working?

Hmm... you seem to be completely unaware of what the problem set is.
The problem set is fooling Android. Specifically editors. By using Windows.

Huh? Nobody is suggesting cloning. This solution only requires copying.

Cloning, e.g., using dd, is a completely different issue altogether:
 sudo dd if=/dev/source_disk of=/dev/destination_disk bs=4M status=progress

Again, I love your suggestion of symlinks, which is the first thing anyone
would think of, but if you can get symlinks to work on non-rooted Android
for the sdcard, then you're a far more intelligent man than I am.

Please let us know how you accomplished tasks which you keep suggesting.

To further add value... 

Given editing of multimedia files is a special case... and since this is
all about editors finding their files when the storage is doubled, we
should note that editing on phones is often far better than on desktops.

Why, I don't know - but free cartoonify editors, in particular, seem to be
vastly more powerful on phones than they are on any desktop I've ever used. 

Given media editors are sometimes far more advanced on mobile devices, it
behooves all of us to better understand *how* phones tread multimedia files
*differently* than all other file types (as far as I'm aware anyway).

That is, even if I doubled my portable storage without bothering to match
the old sdcard volume name (aka volume label), the editing apps *still*
seem to find the special class of files known as multimedia files.

That's great but why does Android treat only multimedia that way?
Why not scan for all file types?

Why does Android have a special system to scan *only* for multimedia files,
such that doubling your sdcard portable memory causes no ill effects.

Editors can still *find* your multimedia files even after doubling storage!

I'm well aware of the trick to have the operating system *not* find them:
 /storage/0000-0001/0001/.nomedia
But why does Android treat *only* media differently (using the media
Scanner Service)? What about other files that we often edit?
 <com.android.providers.media>

For example, if we double the portable storage, the media scanner system
service is automatically triggered to scan the new portable storage for
media files (images, audio, and video).  When it finds a new "media" file
(e.g., a .jpg, .png, .mp3, or .mp4, etc.), the media scanner extracts its
concomitant metadata (like artist, album, title, date, resolution, etc.)
and adds this information to the Android MediaStore SQLite database.
 /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/
Specifically, in a table containing a separate section each for
 MediaStore.Images
 MediaStore.Video
 MediaStore.Audio

In summary, we probably need to clarify that there are two kinds of
editors, only one of which is severely impacted when we double storage.
 a. Editors have no problem finding impacted media files
 b. But editors can't find all other impacted file types

Unless you know the trick. :)

Given this is an editing group, that heartfelt value added is useful.
Especially as I always click on any link people kindly go to the trouble of
supplying (so that I learn better what it is they are trying to teach me).

Thank you for being purposefully value added helpful, as face "cartoonify"
capabilities, in my humble opinion, based on my experience, suck on Windows
versus Android. Notice I added "face" as that's how I use them (e.g., to
take someone's image and cartoonify it for them for humor or so that they
can use it as a privacy-aware avatar with their social media monikers).

Interesting that you mentioned the blender app as I have strived to install
(and at least briefly test) every single free "editing" app ever posted to
the Windows-10 newsgroup over the years; so certainly I already had Blender
installed - but - it's in my 3D folder. See my ad hoc %EDITOR% screenshot.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/pdC7R5Jw/blender01.jpg>

From the time stamps, it looks like I first installed Blender on my desktop
PC in October of 2018, and I last updated Blender in July of 2022.

As I recall, Blender was extremely powerful; but I was looking at it for 3D
CAD purposes (I think so that I could calculate oddly-shaped pool volumes).

As a Windows-editor-related aside, I've tested all the free suggested
cartoonify apps on Windows, as shown by this ad hoc %EDITOR% screenshot.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/NFgH18Gp/photo-editor01.jpg>

Most of those %EDITORS% are to edit a screenshot (i.e., arrows, boxes &
text); but some are for depth-of-field overlays or oil paintings or to
remove blemishes, or some other rather specialized non-AI activity.

A good AI activity of free cartoonifying, I haven't yet found on Windows.
Looking at the link on Android mirrored over onto Windows, I see this:
 <https://i.postimg.cc/9Qvg3j53/blender-grease01.jpg>
 <https://i.postimg.cc/tJmRpzHM/blender-grease02.jpg>

 <https://i.postimg.cc/9FpKRfRc/blender-grease05.jpg>
 <https://i.postimg.cc/ydb2Npkc/blender-grease06.jpg>

OMG! That's beautiful. Very awe-inspiringly beautiful. But, perhaps a lot
of knowledge is required, whereas with the phone-based AI, no knowledge is
necessary (but, of course, you only get the AI-generated choices also).

By way of stark contrast, the results from Android AI-based cartoonify
programs are (essentially) almost uncontrollable - but they too are nice.

To always add value, my favorite Android cartoonify editors, are these:
 *PhotoRoom Studio Photo Editor* by Artizans of Photo Video BG Editor App
 Free, with ads, rated 4.7, 10M+ installs, requires GSF
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photoroom.app> 
 [PhotoRoom can be screenshotted.]
 [PhotoRoom is ok with adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/Download/screenshot.png]
 [PhotoRoom is good for transparizing the background away magic wand style.]
 [PhotoRoom saves the results with a watermark easily cropped.]

 *Photo Lab* Picture Editor & Art, by Linerock Investments LTD
 Free, with ads, rated 4.6, 100M+ installs, requires GSF
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vsin.t16_funny_photo>

 *ToonMe* cartoons from photos, by Linerock Investments LTD
 Free, with ads, rated 4.4, 50M+ installs, requires GSF
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vicman.toonmeapp>

 *Voila* AI Artist Cartoon Photo by Wemagine.AI
 free, +ads (really obnoxious), requires gsf, rated 4.6, 10M+ installs
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wemagineai.voila> 

In their own way, the cartoonify AI on Android is good - but it pales in
comparison to that inspiring video of what the Blender grease pencil does.
 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzqD4xcbEuE>

Thanks for helping the Windows & %EDITORS% people by suggesting Blender!

I'm going to have to find a tutorial that shows the *easiest* way to
cartoonify something very simple - such as a closeup face portrait.

It covers a lot of DCC application areas, as should be evident by now.

Since this is an Editor group, discussing Android on Windows... I am going
to try to illustrate below what is trivial on Android is difficult on
Windows. 

If anyone can make that statement false, I'd be *happy* to hear how!

Windows Blender is, in a word, powerful. 
But it's damn hard to use.

Meanwhile, the Android apps I had suggested are, um, er, shall we say
almost foolproof? All you do is pick a photo & you cartoonify it.

Takes mere seconds.
And no skills whatsoever.

Sure, not much control.
But what is trivial on Android, is damn near impossible to do on Windows.

At least as far as anyone on these newsgroups has shown in this thread.
And, trust me, I've tested *every* cartoonify program suggested here.

Especially on Android, where I've tested (virtually) them all.

Since I've tested, oh, I don't know, maybe two dozen of them, I'm aware
that there are actually few offerings - it is just one company seeding the
apps with the same AI but with slightly different branding, so there are
really fewer than a half dozen to choose from to cartoonify faces.

You don't get a whole lotta choices on results either, but you get enough
that you don't really need too many as they do a pretty good job I think.

At least for a funny joke... or for a social media avatar (or xface?).

Let me make an example for you. I need someone's face? Googling... 

OK. Let's take the first image of Demi Moore in this article today:
 <https://www.thecut.com/article/review-the-substance-movie-gets-aging-wrong.html>

Here is that face photo of Demi Moore as our starting point image:
 <https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/d2e/a37/d87bed8d2c9aefe83c99c4e094d5649622-the-substance.rhorizontal.w700.jpg>
Actually, to fool (some) watermark algorithms, I'll stretch it:
 <stretched>

Note that I can't use the external sdcard for this task because the Android
cartoonify apps use the phones's sdcard0 storage - which is mounted onto
Windows as the Q: drive (as the P: drive is the sdcard1 portable storage).

With that in mind, I'm going to run the entire conversion on the Q: drive
from Windows, but the Android CPU will be the underlying AI cartoonify
engine so I'll be connecting all three newsgroups in this editing task.

a. A cartoonify editor (to convert the image to a cartoonified avatar)
b. Windows (to do all the snapshots & watermark removal tasks)
c. Android (to run the AI cartoonify engine on the MediaTek CPU)

In order of my personal cartoonify app preferences... 

0. Original <https://i.postimg.cc/HLMKjCRH/original.jpg>
(Stretched) <https://i.postimg.cc/63X9pcHj/original01.jpg>

1. Voila (/sdcard0/Pictures/Voila/.)
   <https://i.postimg.cc/P5DsvZvB/viola01.jpg> 

2. ToonMe (/sdcard0/Pictures/ToonMe/.)
   <https://i.postimg.cc/VLbHKwst/toonme01.jpg> 

3. PhotoLab  
   <https://i.postimg.cc/vT52H7Nz/photolab01.jpg>

4. ToonArt (/sdcard0/Pictures/.)
   <https://i.postimg.cc/qvWKjfRN/toonart01.jpg>

5. CartoonPhoto (/sdcard0/Pictures/Cartoon_Photo/.)

6. Comica (/sdcard0/Pictures/comica/.)

7. PhotoRoom (/sdcard0/Pictures/PhotoRoom/.)
   <https://i.postimg.cc/cCKZDz6J/photoroom01.jpg>

My main point is that this kind of ease of use doesn't exist on Windows.
Unfortunately. At least as far as anyone on these newsgroups knows.

Note for the above I used Windows tricks, Android tricks, and (free)
Android cartoonify editors (albeit I have to block their ads with DNS
blocking tricks) where I had to use a few screenshotting tricks too.

Nonetheless, it was so easy to cartoonify the original image, that anyone
can do it - which is why I stated that I've never seen something that good
on WIndows - although you did find something far more powerful.

But the point here is what is trivial on Android, is extremely difficult to
do on Windows - which is why I had said the statement that I did.

know so that someday, they will be able to teach you something also.

Give your users one button to push, they will all push that button. And 
all produce the same result.

At some point the novelty wears off. Until the product vendor comes up 
with a new button for you to push.

And maybe they start charging for some of those buttons, for the users who 
want an effect that isn’t quite the same as those available on the 
freeware version.

And now they have a revenue stream. And the users have gained no skills 
whatsoever, beyond the ability to push the offered buttons.

That's exactly what I want. Only you get the choice of a few buttons.

> At some point the novelty wears off. 

It does the job. In seconds. For example, let's say this was me.
  <https://i.postimg.cc/HLMKjCRH/original.jpg>

With a button press on Android, this could be my look-alike avatar.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/QMdy1sp7/avatar.jpg>

People would still recognize that avatar as me. For one button press.
That efficiently preserves (most of) my face privacy while still being me.

> Until the product vendor comes up with a new button for you to push.

AI will only get better.

But what I pine for is the ease of cartoonify editors on Windows to exist.

They already do that on the Android platform but I shun all payware as
unbecoming of privacy (as I do adware, but cartoonifiers are adware).

Understood about the revenue stream, and the lack of skills of the user
enabling that revenue stream, but I've only paid for two pieces of software
(well, maybe three) in my life - so I'm not likely to be their whale.

In summary, while this offshoot is about finding on Windows the power of
Android editors, overall Windows software pales in comparison to what
Android software does in terms of one-click cartoonify editing features.

Where Windows excels over Android is in complicated cartooners, like
Blender - which is your point - I understand - but it's not what I asked.

Till today I had no idea you were talking of map editors. I was thinking 
text editors.

No, I do not use map editors on my phone, either. I use map apps that 
view the map, not edit them.

I don't "edit" my password file on the phone.

Because "editor" to me is a text editor, and I was thinking of the one I 
use, Libre Office Writer. Ok, a word processor. If I have to edit pure 
plain text files they are just a few kilobytes in size.

Your question is posted to the editors group, and to the windows group, 
so I don't have to limit my thinking to Android.

I don't.

I thought you were talking of text files.

Because the wear in flash cards is limited, and using an editor in such

Arlen, you have changed the goalposts. You never said you were not

I'm sure that Windows has tools to change those values without 
formatting the media, you just have to find them. I am a Linux guy, so I 
know how to do that in Linux.

No, Arlen, I'm just giving an example of why the need to edit that 
value. One that I have needed to do in the past. I'm not suggesting you 
clone anything.

You posted in three groups, the answers do not have to be limited to one 
operating system. I said I never "edit" on Android. Meaning Libre Office 
Writer, or Microsoft Word. You did not say till today that you were 
editing maps in the woods without internet. And no, I never felt the 
need to edit maps on the phone. I just view them with an app, typically 
OSMand+.
