Shoddy Telecom Service Carriers of Ceylon and Knoppix V9 Version

Coronavirus brings boredom to home, I decided to download  Knoppix Version 9.

It is a classic DVD with ton of applications and a very very beautiful desktop which Microsoft Windows will never be able match in spite of its global commercial  hype.

The Coronavirus had hit Microsoft developers, too.

Knoppix is 4.3 GiB image but compressed tightly.

Unfortunately, I pulled out the entire 80 feet long and old Ethernet wire that connected to my PC over the roof.

It was damaged and I will not rewire it again but decided to Go Broadband in Ceylon Style.

It was a very big mistake.

At night at 30% of the image downloaded it FROZE twice.

One was Dialog Wincle  and the other was Dialog Broadband.

I used to get all the DVDs with my Linux Magazine but I stopped subscribing since in my.retirement, Linux takes a second place to Android phones in my priority and especially Nokia my favourite.

The cellphone saves lot of electricity bill which.the PC consumed to read an email.

In fact, nobody uses emails  which is very cheap compared to video conferencing which.is in.vogue currently till another application hits the market.

The HiFi video games bores me. compared.to simple games including solitaire card games.

Luckily I have large number of USB sticks with multiple Linux distributions installed in them and there was hardly any development during Coronavirus pandemic  except Kernel 5 development to which I have no contribution.

It will be out soon and I won' t buy a new gadget to test the Kernel.

I will leave it to Linus Torvalds.

Mind you, Apple is coming our with a new chip and it is banned for Chinese use  and the China' s goal to dominate the industry is in doldrums for the time being.

That is good and I hate cheap  Chinese duplicate that only last one year or less.

Only discarded cheap.stuff of China comes from Singapore outlets.

Do not buy cheap stuff and go through  the consequences.

This applies to.Korea, too.

China should work on democracy and not  flooding.the global.markets with imitation stuff and Australia and EU applying pressure on China is pretty good.

Unfortunately, Boris Johnson's dream of Brexit and enticing China to export cheap products to.UK will not come true (to fill UK with Cheap China products).

The poor Chinese workers' wellbeing is neglected in UK.

That is how UK democracy works.

President Putin is fully geared to take a credible lead in the Coronavirus Vaccine with Latin America in the grips of becoming the Communist's administrators nightmare!

Coming to downloads both for no reason the threads stopped the downloading in early phase not even 30% downloaded.

Why?

Guys and Girls are downloading PORN in Ceylon daily but this flow is not for an ardent  Linux guy who loves to test a new image in.evolution.

The server is frozen at a particular MIB or GiB.

Arbitrary decision.of the server administrator in Ceylon to save bandwidth to gullible users of PORN including priests who do not want laymen and women with Dhana to come to temples but FREE internet.

Mind you I have paid over Rs.5000/= for the broadband and did not download a single file till I tried Knoppix V9.

I am going to take the Broadband gadget and crash it on the floor of the Dialog Center in Kandy in broad daylight.

Thankfully, the Coronavirus pandemic prevents me doing that for the time being.

Good on them, the Coronavirus.

They are sucking every penny or cent from the poor users.

About Telecom no better  and  my call bill over Rs5000/= plus taxes and it's ringing tone had a irritating Buzz as an insect is piecing my ear.

I went and bought a new receiver thinking.the old one was.faulty but it magnified the BUZZ or the irritation in my ear.

Their ploy is to entice the guys and girls with fiberoptics along  with a fat bill but won't service the land lines.

The previous receiver had three  AAA batteries to record the caller and flash capability.

The current receiver with no batteries, and the Telecoms should provide the default  power supply of the line.

I have told all my friends after the new year celebrations, I will not call to put down on my TAX bill on calls and this BUZZ was a blessing in disguise that I terminate the call, with a triple message of KANAWA, BONAWA and RENEWA and nothing else to SAY.

Of course, the last word I do not pronounce but get the listener or the caller to guess.

Mind you, I had a Rs.150,000/= bill paid and my son had downloaded  over one hundred  thousand downloads, in a month with its PEO TV service.

They are SUCKERs and I told my son many months later the fat bill I paid.

They should have warned but never did.

My son got the message in good stead.

Like Kevin TV is his life but programs are very poor now with loads of advertisement which he deletes by reflex action.

Lot of AAA batteries consumed but I bought him rechargeable batteries and two rechargers.

With power down with.thunderstorms  I do not have to water my plants but had a rainwater bath not from gutters but straight from the sky.

Mind you, it not safe with lightening.

They will hit you before the rain and Chun Pan guys should be mindful of the lightening.
