@olafurw they really love OEMs

A bunch of assembly code followed by this comment:

In the particular case of "finding" a char device set LOCUS to Unknown. This makes certain idiotic problems reported by a certain 3 letter OEM go away.

@gsuberland @olafurw That feels like there's been some unstated four-letter words about a certain three-letter OEM. 😁

@olafurw I'll admit a little envy seeing the swears still in there. I once managed to hold up a release of the Xbox OS due to a comment I accidentally checked in describing the resolution of Xbox 360 profile pictures as "crappy" and that triggered a red flag from the policheck source code scan. Ooops 😅

I still maintain that the images were crappy though. Like 128x128 resolution I think? 🙂

@olafurw Found another one

Github screenshot showing search rules for file `v2.0/source/PROFIL.ASM` in the MS-DOS repo. Search query is “shit”, and the results show two results matching with the symbol “DOSHIT”.

@calamari I saw it and it's probably "DOS" "HIT" so I skipped it.
