charset=unknown-8bit

http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
and RFC 1428 have an encoding (charset) "unknown-8bit".
There is also the widely recognized "x-user-defined",
which means the same thing, afaik.
Both designate an 8-bit encoding where *nothing* is known
about its characters. Especially, unknown-8bit is *not*
necessarily a superset of US-ASCII.

Wouldn't it be useful (e.g. for certain HTML documents)
to have a charset parameter that is "half unknown"?
Such a charset parameter should denote an 8-bit encoding
that is a superset of US-ASCII and only the remaining half
(128 characters) is unknown.

Or am I mistaken and is this actually meant by
"x-user-defined"?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
