I did a multilingual display with an 8031 in 1995 on a 2x16 text LCD. I had 128 bytes of RAM and an EPROM. Did English, Spanish and German.

The 8-bit Intel 8051 family provides a dedicated bit-addressable memory space (addresses 20h-2Fh in internal RAM), giving 128 directly addressable bits. Used them for years. I'd imagine many microcontrollers have bit-width variables.
bit myFlag = 0;
Or even return from a function:
bit isValidInput(unsigned char input) { // Returns true (1) if input is valid, false (0) otherwise return (input >= '0' && input <= '9'); }

The movie is just shy of 40 years old. lol
If you dig you can find this on Amazon. I've been buying from Amazon since 1995 and the last time I looked my purchases were somewhere around $260,000. And that was before covid.

They refilmed it without the truthiness.
Welcome! I've been here since the API fiasco killed everything but their app.
Lemmy feels like old school reddit, I like it.
I feel smart because I met Penn in his dressing room in Vegas few years back and discussed Gary Johnson's running for President. But I came to my senses years ago...
My digital thermostats have Alexa built in. When I first installed them I went around telling people "I know I live in the future because my thermostat can play the Beatles".
Also, I have a heated coffee mug. I have legitimately used the sentence "My coffee mug is doing a firmware update."
That's what I said above. First two terms can't be consecutive. Ridiculous.
This is what we did before mobile phones. It wasn't that bad.
