An opiate is a chemical substance that is derived directly from the opium poppy resin and bind to the opioid receptor in the brain. Examples include codeine and opium. Opioids are chemicals that are synthesized or synthetically modified opiates that also bind to the brainâs opioid receptor.n opiate is a chemical substance that is derived directly from the opium poppy resin and bind to the opioid receptor in the brain.

The floppy disk was a revolution in the computer industry when it was developed by IBM in the late 1960s as a reliable and inexpensive method of loading microcode into their System/370 computer.
But how do they actually work? The 8-Bit Guy spends 15 minutes breaking down what makes floppy disks so cool, despite being obsolete. No matter what the sizeâeight-inch, 5 1/4-inch, 3 1/2-inchâfloppy disks are the most iconic symbols of old-school computing. But how do they actually work? The 8-Bit Guy spends 15 minutes breaking down what makes floppy disks so cool, despite being obsolete. When you peel back that familiar plastic case. The magnetic material of a floppy isnât unlike the tape found in cassettes. But once you start exploring disc formats from IBM, Apple, Commodore, and other computing elders, things get weird and even more confusing. Itâs one of the reasons why early disk formats didnât work well (or at all) across different computers. The video doesnât just stop with floppy disks themselves, but also gets into the nitty-gritty tech surrounding disk drives and whether itâs really that weird that the U.S. military still relies on the decades-old technology.
