BBC BASIC implementation of RANDU

[p_m21987]

Though in this particular case, I think that might not have been an issue, since the audio stream was just the input from the mic port, without any mic or anything plugged into it (no actual audio input signal)

You are assuming that in the absence of any signal what you will receive is white noise.

I'd like to clarify, I was not assuming that or making any assumption of the sort. I've been careful to communicate in this thread that I recognise and acknowledge that the idea of trying to get randomness from an audio interface with no mic plugged very most likely does not work, exactly for the reasons you describe - like I said, it was just a silly experiment I did for fun years ago. Sorry if I mis-communicated.
But thank you for the explanation there, I appreciate it and your in-depth knowledge and experience on this subject as an engineer.

The BBC's video watermark was hidden in the Fukinuki Hole.

I'd love to know more about this.

I reserve the right to ignore disclaimers of that kind, and comment anyway. If you don't like it, you can complain to the admin as it says in the footnote below.

I understand, I just wanted to clarify. But it's good that you replied because you noted and explained something important.

I'd like to say that I'm really really sorry for my previous comment and I feel really terrible about it. I hope Richard will continue using these forums and offering his expertise.

I apologise for my behaviour in this thread and in this forum.
I will stop posting now and log out.
