# Checksum function
def checksum(data)
  bytes = data.gsub(/ /, '').scan(/.{8}/)
  bytes = bytes[8..14]
  numbers = bytes.map { |byte| byte.reverse.to_i(2) }
  sum = numbers.inject { |sum, x| sum + x }
  (208 - sum) % 256
end

data.each do |sample|
  actualChecksum = sample.gsub(/ /, '').scan(/.{8}/).last
  calculatedChecksum = checksum(sample).to_s(2).rjust(8, '0').reverse
  diff = actualChecksum.reverse.to_i(2) - calculatedChecksum.reverse.to_i(2)
  puts "Calculated: #{calculatedChecksum}, Actual: #{actualChecksum}, Diff: #{diff}"
end

It could explain the calcul, I do not know this programming language?

I hate this kind of stuff too. people write stuff in some garbage language like python or go or rust, just looks like !^!@&$^!$^#%&#^@&%*^ and spits out a result and be like "ok just use this"

Nah how about explaining the actual algorithm so we don't have to guess what stuff like bytes = data.gsub(/ /, '').scan(/.{8}/) means.
god damn.
