My Global Vision for Computers and Gagematics

Now that I have expressed my global views, in general, if I do not write few lines on computer world, it is unfair by my standards.

This whole world is taken over by few companies and President Putin cannot overview the impact, only the Linux World can keep it's head up.

We cannot trust China and it has it's own Kline OP system I will never try.

A waste of my precise time.

Having said that Ubuntu has abrogated it's responsibility and that VOID is filled by Emmabantus in style.

I have just made two bootable USBs one on Emmabantus and the other on Ubuntu.

I have multiple copies of MultSystem with multiple Linux distributions run on 64GB USB sticks, the standard not USB-3s.

Now Emmabantus took twice the time of Ubuntu and it shows the paucity of software in Ubuntu.

Now Emmabantus DID NOT USE a single copyrighted application.

That is my bone of contention in Ceylon where Pseudo- Buddhists who use pirated copies.

Unfortunately the USB made by Ubuntu software did not boot. That is why I did copying it with Emmabantus and it boots quickly unlike the DVD on the ROM.

Emmabantus has everything I need including USB writer and USB image writer which works perfectly well in Emmabantus including MultiSystem software (one need not waste a DVD).

Mind you I hate the noise of DVD ROMs.

If Laptop makers are sensible they should discontinue the inbuilt DVD and dish out a detached DVD ROM with each Laptop if the customer needs.

That saves space for my Vision that will come later in this piece.

Not only noise it consume lot of energy.

That job can be done easily with a USB Stick and 4MB RAM.

If any of your gadgets has less than 4GB RAM either dish it out or upgrade to 4GB RAM.

If you are not a game player 4GB RAM is more than enough.

In Linux one need lot of RAM only in installing but they always reserve 1 GB for system and hardware and in, installation Linux use 3 GB by default.

There is no crash like in Windows.

Windows take all the RAM and that is why it crashes often ad hoc.

TPM or total Play or Pay module or is it something else that expects minimum of 4GB RAM.

That is the only SWIPE I will make at the expense of stupid Window Users.

Now coming to my Vision.

I hate a big computer either desktop or a standalone mode.

It takes space.

What I need is a solid input device (modified keyboard) and a big monitor.

Only one company has taken this to heart and working on it and I wish them success but I won't buy one since I have my computers working only on Linux.

This keyboard probably will only support Windows and I hope they make Linux one to save on the cost to begin with.

This keyboard should put the motherboard under it's keys.

One reference to Linux Developers and they use keyboard shortcuts day in and day out.

The function keys  F-1 to F-12 can be accommodated for their use in principle.

I use Ctr, Alt, Del and F2 only and other function keys are literally a waste.

My proposed  Keyboard Computer can use them for good use.

As I said earlier DVD should be dispensed with and all booting should be done with bootable USBs and quality of USBs should go up but the price should come down.

USB port should be in front not in side like in Laptops and I hate fiddling to find a port in my old age.
.
Some words about gender.

All these gadgets are made by male guys who want money and a yacht to sail at sea.

They do not care a damn except for cellphones that are made for women only and a man with a big finger cannot use a tiny phone in hand.

Whereas Keyboard with Motherboard enclosed can be used by a man with big hands and big fingers.

Hang, the virtual keyboards which interfere with typing perpetually.

I forgot to mention the key should have a bay in the middle to mount the cellphone or tablet  in a mobile mode.

That's all one need a cellphone and a flexible rubber keyboard that one can wrap round the head with a side cap as a portable helmet on a rainy day.

I hope you got the image or the vision and keyboard should come out of age and incorporate more ports for microphone head sets, cameras, various USB sticks and WiFi DVD ROMs.

Combining digital software and analogue gadgets might cause little problems but make one bigger in size for the man to stay on the table top typing and a small one for me and ladies to carry to the pantry.

Ladies are the ones good at thrashing light weight ones and who knows if one spills coffee on it one can use it as a doormat.

Even though, I use some scepticism and satire a lot here, what I say, I mean in my heart of hearts.

Again no plastics for environmental reason and rubber is a plant product and it will support our rubber industry directly.

All what I need is a flexible rubber keyboard in my hand and a big monitor at the foot end of my bed which I can see at age of 80 without a problem.

If I get annoyed I can thrash it on the floor to see how it works (good or bad) and if not working use it as a doormat.

My Global Predictions

Even though, I have decommissioned myself over 20 years form medical profession on my own volution and if I kick the bucket during this pandemic and labelled (to avoid that labelling) as an imbecile posthumously, it is bad for my friends and my descendants.

Hold on!

If you have a weak heart politically do not read beyond this point.

The greatest casualty of this pandemic is medical profession and I have some advice for them, to get their house in order later.

The next biggest casually will be the Army, Navy and Air Force unless they get their dormitory in order in double quick time, 50% of their trainees will succumb to Coronavirus in the future.

1. My '"First Prediction" in 2020 September was that this pandemic will last for a decade (now revised to 2 decades with data coming out thick and fast and new variants emerging) and the first cabinet casualty is British Health Minister for lying to his cabinet and the general public.

2. The "Second Prediction"is that the economic impact will last for 50 years, if not more.

There are no casualties here due to prolong effect on economy unless you are a Finance Minister who got a brand new printing machine and printing money (to put his/her name on paper as a political advertisement) at a hectic pace.

Mind you, China created the printing machine and they probably never envisioned this scenario, then.

3. Third is my attempt to predict how to overcome this pandemic with a distant vision and "Safe Distance Protocol.

That vision comes from an unlikely business section of the economy.

This cute little concept of Premadasa housing is taken to task.

The high rising house industry will collapse in no time.

With a cough or a sneeze the virus travels minimum of 30 feet and a mask will hold only 10% from an infected person (rest 90% is out in the fresh air) and the first casualty is Andrew Fauci of America holding the highest paid post in medicine or rather Public Health.

I am surprised he is still holding this post.

My gut feeling is President Biden knows he came to power due to this "Pandemic Effect" and sacrificing him is improper at this juncture, let it happen under next administration.

My gut feeling is he will contest again having felt the purse and the perks.

In a different perspective, in Ceylon the Big casualty is SLPP for not curtailing the death rate, if not the spread of the disease.

Every family who voted for SLPP will have lost one or two of its members by four years (most of them due to natural causes but lumped into Coronavirus) when the next election is due.

In any case the vote bank is reduced due to death rate and most of the elderly voted SLPP.

By the way, due to food price hike the current popularity of it is down by 20% to 49%.

The popularity falls at the rate of dollar depreciation rate.

Very easy analysis and Basil Raja is not needed now for population analysis.

Coming to my solution to curtail spread of infection within and inside a family, the average dimension of a room should be 30 by 30 feet with an attached bathroom for every member.

I suppose only rich Americans can afford it and in UK compact houses, housing mainly Asians have to be demolished straightaway to curtail the pandemic not by improving immunization protocol.

Now this has to be modified if you have a dog in house.

I will revise that cellphone is the biggest vehicle of transmission, since it is abiotic and the dog who is very biotic is the biggest contributor to spread of infection, since it loves licking.

The risk is same as kissing.

So no new dogs and let the puppies go astray but look after the current one for 15 years.

Ideally a room and a toilet for the dog.

The housing and construction laws should be amended to fit 30 by 30 Minimum Law and all the new hotels and restaurants should follow my new law on construction.

I kept the hotel industry and air industry to be discussed last since none of them can afford to follow 30 by 30 Law except some 5 Star hotels in Ceylon.

The tourist industry will never recover.

In Air industry even the big birds or Air Buses cannot run on 30 by 30 space seats by any imagination and air industry is the one which will recover the last.

Less seats and jacking the ticket price are not the solutions but everyone who is rich enough should have a private plane, like our politician in Ceylon.

Not a helicopter by the way.

Why travel when one can do video conferencing at ease with cellphones?

Now coming to hospitals especially private nursing homes, they should invest in new building construction protocols to curtail spread of infection to doctors, nurses and health care personnel.

All the private hospitals built in Ceylon we're to accommodate the maximum number of patients in the minimum space available.

Hospital industry never considered hospitality protocols of restaurants.

Now that the hospitals are almost empty they should start refurbishing in earnest, with the largest serviceable space for best care for suffering patients, if not spread of infection.

After all they are paying for service.

Public hospitals stop diverting to the next nearest big hospital but improve local hospitals to capacity building, as an immediate need of the community, that they are serving.

Unless one does that, recruitment especially nurses will nose dive and no mum or dad wants the daughter to be graduated as a nurse.

In my opinion hospitals are the worst buildings in the world.

They are built to accommodate vagrants and not poor patients.

WHO had abrogated all responsibilities of health care over a century and they let the market forces determine the outcome.

This is true of China where the pandemic started and they are building structures all over the world and in Africa and one should not let China determines house sizes, house planning and hotel buildings worldwide.

Having been a sportsman, if I do not pen my thoughts on how sports' should reorganize laws, stadiums and Olympics I have failed, the budding spokesmen and women.

Sorry to hear that the Olympics in Japan is the biggest casualty.

The stadiums because of their big size can accommodate less spectators at higher priced tickets but they won't be able to sustain big margin of profits.

Rugged contact sports like rugger should be banned by WHO.

Basket ball is out on second count.

For Cricket and Soccer I apply 5 feet rule not 30ft.

The slips should be at 5ft apart that Mr.Khole should have adequate room for his deft taps.

The Wicket Keeper should stand at the wicket 5ft behind.

Stumping should be abolished only run puts.

As for soccer, only defenders are allowed to tackle at close range and rest of the players should stand five feet apart and follow the deft "Brazilian First Pass Method" as the defacto mode of play.

Touching an opposing player is banned in toto.

Long range passes as played by David Beckum, the English captain of the past would elevate the game, to a new high level.

More goals and not "no goals" should be the motto and punters can bet on goals, goal difference and timing of the goal first half, second half instead of a win or a lose or a draw which is boring for me.

It should have three phases (30 minutes each) and odd number of three phases is good for punters in the long run.
