>>101574333
A single character in hexadecimal represents four bits, or a "nibble". Two of them makes a byte, meaning you don't need to set bytes' values one bit at a time when making edits, nor do you need to memorize altcodes and do it in Notepad. (Since you shat on hex editors, I can presume you're likely on Windows)
>>
>>101574539
Why? What's the use case? Literally what do these things do lol. I just remember using them a decade ago to give myself rare furni clientside on Habbo Hotel.
>>
>>101574622
Editing binary machine code, writing programs from the most hellish scratch you can justify, ya know, hacking and debugging.

don't listen to this anon, literally nobody in the universe uses a hex editor to write software or for debugging

>>101574658
if they stop being culturally relevant then people will stop talking about them
>>
>>101574659
that is not true. Imagine you buy some chinese hardware that comes with weird proprietary software. You might use one of those to figure out what is the api to communicate with the thing you have bought.
there are many use cases like this...
>>
>>101574718
you're thinking of a disassembler, a debugger, a network traffic analyzer, or any combination of the 3. literally nobody after the 1990s uses a hex editor for that
>>
>>101574670
maybe in ten to fifteen years.
>>
>>101574622
>Literally what do these things do lol
anon.... you must be retarded. let me explain it to you: an hex editor lets you edit hex code.
what you do with it is another matter.

>>101574659
>literally nobody in the universe uses a hex editor to write software or for debugging
it can help in some contexts. but you wouldn't know because you can't even google it, you lazy retard.

This is the absolute state of /g/? It's worse than I thought jesus christ
>>
>>101574735
kek... you are right.

if you develop an app that reads some proprietary binary files and lets you edit them it might be useful for that.
I used one of those to reskin macos back in the day.
you could edit a save file for a game or something.
>>
>>101574896
save files for modern games are just plain text files in json or yaml packed into a data archive that there are universal unpackers for that someone else wrote already
>>
what about integrating HIEW into your windows image. one can write small assembly codes with it.

those big GUI versions with bright white colors.. cant bear them for text work
>>
>>101574815
you know you can actually edit the hex code in an hex editor... but yeah, the point is changing bytes.

Bruh. Who even cares about save files in modern games? There's three kinds of modern games - Indie, cinematic slop, and esports.

this, but only because I'm lazy. Other than that, the hex editor in notepad is buggy as shit. It often fails copying / pasting, or just straight up copies the data wrong
