ADDENDUM (additional information about this topic is here for you!)
1. Small correction on the vacuum tubes. I used them as a visual aid, but technically it's a dual triode tube, so it's not "1-bit" per se. But you get the idea. Additionally, there's always electricity in the tube when the computer is on. This particular tube works for like a gate.
2. BINARY MATH: Each binary digit represents a power-of-2 whole number. If you have a byte (8 bits), that means your first bit represents 1, your second represents 2, then 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128. Keep in mind, the numbers increase right to left. If a “1” is present, that represented number is added. If a “0” is present, the number is not added. So, 00001100 = 12. 10000001 = 129. 11111111 = 255.
3. GB vs. GiB: In short…
GB is the user-friendly measurement.
GiB is the computer-friendly measurement because data sizes are based on power-of-two values.
Gigabytes (GB) and gibibytes (GiB) are different, but GiB are commonly referred to as GB in conversation. Some operating systems refer to a GiB as a GB. 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes, but 1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes (1024^3). This is because GiB (KiB, MiB, etc) use powers of 2-1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and so on. Since regular computers (not quantum computers, or anything like that) use binary, we need to add these numbers in base-2, so the computer actually knows what the heck is going on. Adding in base-10 is more user-friendly and clean looking, but base-2 is what binary math uses. This is why, depending on how your OS and hardware interpret file size, your “500 GB” hard drive may read as “465.66 GB” (which is truly GiB).

The tube you are holding is a dual-triode. In other words, two bits.
Originally, 8-bit 16-bit referred to the width of the data units (natively supported data type, data bus & registers) which often had different widths for the range of their addressable memory space (16, 20, 24 bits).
Funny later on, processors got more & more fancier data units (32-bit, 64-bit, 80-bit, 96-bit data types but also vectorized 128-bit, 256-bit & now 512-bit data types) but increasingly simpler & condensed addressable memory space (at least the logical or virtual memory space is overwhelmingly 32-bit or 64-bit on modern processors (while physical addressable memory still has awry different limits)) so some folks switched from categorizing their processors from data units to the size of addressable virtual memory space for conveniance.
will we see a 128Gb-Bit ?
1. BINARY MATH: ... So, 00001100 = 12. I get 48 (16+32) What didn't I understand?
Windows 95 is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit patch for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1-bit of competition.
How original
I don't like this one bit!
Lol
Zzyzx Wolfe you went a bit overboard on this joke...

@@GamingGardevoir Who needs smartwatches when you can have wrist games?
I thought that you are going to talk more about the vacuum tube :(
From the 'if there's no electricity in it, it's off' statement, he doesn't understand them... They don't work like that. There is always electricity in the tube. There are two triodes in the tube, each used as NOT gates. Additional circuitry can be used to create a Flip-Flop, which is a sort of flipable bit or bi-stable gate..
Thanks for clarifying that. Perhaps I oversimplified, but I added a note to the addendum.

I was disappointed he said: 1:01 well, marketing.
But 64-bit is useful you can have larger memory to run more applications (and bigger applications if you have to).
That's not because of marketing, that's a purely technical reason.
Anyone came back to this video from the "64 bit, 32 bit, 16 bit, 8 Bit, 4 BIt, 2 BIT, 1BIT..." Meme?
Oh yeah, I guess that's going around now, ha.
No, dear friend.

As a Systems Engineer, I found this video very helpful for all technical ability and background. Good job, dude!
Wow. Thank you so much for this video. I’ve always wondered about this seeing as I have a 64 bit laptop that I got a very long time ago and I never knew the difference. I appreciate your work.

All these years, I kept thinking about what this 32 and 64 bit processor fuzz was all about, until now thanks to you, it makes sense. Thanks for uploading, really a great video, I am sharing this with my friends as well. Subscribed.
Fantastic video, thank you for this! Really well explained, and good quality production.
Really loved your unique way to explain these topics, well done. Subbed!
I had just begun to debug and experiment C++ on memory address level and the concept of bit, bytes and register has been baffling me for two days. Your video is so, so well-explained and answered so many of my questions that I didn't even know I had. Thank you so much!!!
That vacuum tube/valve that you held up is a dual triode model, meaning that it has two independent sets cathodes, screens, and plates, so in actuality, that tube would constitute two bits... Just sayin'...
Thanks for clarifying. I know I oversimplified for the sake of a visual aid, but I added your note to the addendum.

Man, this video is great. I’m taking a computer architecture course and inadvertently you helped me clarify a lot of contents I learned in class; thanks dude. Was informative and fun video to watch.
Thank you : ) Happy to help.

Me after this video: *COMPUTER ENGINEER*
Thanks for this video. I can show it and have a classroom discussion in my computer science class for my high school students or show it and talk to my college students about these concepts. Thanks again.
You’re welcome
i still remember back in the 80's working with the commodore 64 you didn't always work with 8 bits at a time. you would work with smaller 4 bit segments, called nibbles, and 2 nibbles equaled a byte.
Bits are those small round donuts you get a tim hortons
Very good brief summary of the situation. 😁While I knew how 32 and 64 bit works, didn't realise Apple was so keen to get rid of 32 bit, Catalina 10.15, will keep that in mind as I have a few legacy computers people give me from time to time.
That was probably the easiest to understand explanation I've ever heard about bits and operating systems. Thanks!
Thank you for watching.
Excellent explanation.
I always had wondered about bits and finally someone explained it in the easiest way possible.
Thank you.
Thanks for watching : )
What an awesome explanation video, I know I might won't remember this by tomorrow but is not my duty but is cool having a clue about how this devices we daily use work.
Good job on teaching that stuff. I'm no expert by any means, but you did an excellent presentation on a complex subject, aka you put in way more information than you really needed to. Way to multiprocess there!
How could I missed till now?

Great stuff.. I knew the basics of 32 and 64 bit computing, but now I have a greater understanding. Plus, the MacOS hint of checking application support of 64-bit is a bonus. thanks.
Thanks! This is a really good vid about this topic. Now i finally understand :)
Great Video! Very Informative.
That is more than what I have expected from this video :)
Very clear information, thanks and kind regards.
I love the powerpoint style of presentation. It melds well with my mind.

Detailed explanation! Thanks a lot! 👍
very imformative and well said. loving it and thank you very much.
Thanks for watching!
Such a great explanation thank you
All presentation is very interesting love it.
A good approach to explain concept, as a developer i really need to understand this things. Thanks for a great video.
Nicely explained. Tks.
Thank you for this video! Also helped me remember (for some reason) that internet speed is measured in Bits and data is stored in bytes. Binning at 1 Mbps download will take a 1 MB file 8 seconds to download, not 1
Yes. People often mix them up. Mb is different than MB, as you have pointed out.
Finally my answer has been answered! Thank u
Full of information video... thanks to u for provide us this information

Great video! Thanks I'll add this to my class references for students. :)
Ahhh, vacuum tubes. Those were the days! Today, we think of Bytes in groups of 8 bits. Byte comes from BinarY TErm (BYTE) and varied. I remember when we called 8 bits an octet instead of a byte. Good video!
excellent video, thank you
This is awesome.Thank you
Great Video. We will actually be talking about why apple dropped 32 bit from Catalina tonight on Mac Yak.
Awesomesauce
Yeah that was a rather stupid move though because a lot of apps are still 32-bit only. And look I understand that development costs money but it wouldn't of killed Apple to put in backwards compatibility not like they give a crap about that sort of thing anyhow because they did just kind of shit before and will do so again when they abandon Intel
TheMadonePlays Apple gave developers 2 years to update their apps so have no sympathy for them.
@@gregthompson7793 hey not everybody has a billion dollars or a billion Developers some projects are just down to only a few people. Plus say goodbye to things like emulators or games. These things may not matter to you but they matter to somebody
@@gregthompson7793 and look we actually had the same thing happen on Ubuntu the only difference is that Apple fanboys don't speak up about silly decisions and apple typically doesn't listen to feedback. It has to be a two-way street otherwise you get stupid decisions that make no sense

@@queenbiscuit311 "With a lot of tabs open it will use alot more." -> User induced
baum stamp my chrome uses 2GB of RAM with one tab open and no its not “user induced” because the web browsers don’t actually *need* all that RAM they use it because they can and having a bunch of tabs open shouldn’t make the problem worse. It isn’t user induced its just the way browsers are made.
Very well explain. Thank you

Thank you for the video and thank you Mr Alan Turing. And Freddie Williams and Kilburn for the Williams tube that was used to keep the memory or RAM for the first computers. Freddie was born in a village called Romiley in Stockport, long before I was just down the road, it’s a shame not many people know that in Romiley.

Hey Computer nerds a bit of advise, a second or two delay at beginning of the video may help you properly start the intro.

I have been learning about them lately. I might make a future video on them. We’ll see…
What about unix time and how we are running out of 32 bit time?
The Unix time stamp is defined as a number of seconds since midnight on January 1st 1970 in the time zone of the UK, ignoring leap seconds, and assuming every day has exactly 86400 seconds. This is why you end up with date stamps in 1969, because the date somehow got stored as zero by mistake, and if your time zone is in the USA, 1/1/1970 at midnight in the UK, happened on 12/31/1969 (for me, it would happen at 7 pm on that day). Your computer translates the Unix time stamp according to your time zone and the history of leap seconds, in order to put it in a form that makes sense to you. So late December back in 69 is when Unix says it is the start of time.
In the 2038, there will be another equivalent Y2K event, where 32-bit Unix times stamp runs out of capacity to store the time. It will occur on January 19th at 03:14:07 AM UTC in 2038. It will be 2^32 seconds since the time stamp began. 32-bit systems will think it is the 1970's again. If you have 64 bit capabilities, it will never run out of capacity to store the date and time stamp in any practical time scale for humanity, as it will be longer than the age of the universe thus far.
Good video!
Great Video...Subscribed and liked. Can I make a suggestion...take the elements you've brought up and break them down a little more. Like "What is a register?"...you mention it briefly...and that's where ALL non-Video computations exist...at least temporarily..Right? Explaining everything that happens in the Registers would be cool...:)

One feature that has just been activated is session recording.
It allows everyone to record sessions with up to 60 minutes to achieve accurate results and ensure it doesn't miss any moments.
So, how does it work?
Step 1: Record the entire session = 1 hour.
Step 2: Share the recording with everyone = 2.5 hours.
Step 3: Preview the video record with friends = 1 day.
Step 4: Download the video and review the video even without an Internet connection = 40 seconds.
In addition, it supports 4K video viewing, live streaming, use HDR, 120 FPS video recording, and works on 24/7, i.e. 24 hours and 7 days.
However, outdated technology does not have this feature, but the latest technology does.
Thank you for listening.
like the best explanation of what are bits
the thing about backwards compatibility, it's only if the CPU is specifically in the specific bit mode (16, 32 or 64-bit)
if you want backwards compatibility with, let's say, 32-bit software on a 64-bit system, you need some sort of software backwards compatibility layer, like Rosetta for PPC applications in early Intel versions of OS X, that Apple has removed from macOS Catalina
very informative...
