Moving from Legacy BIOS to UEFI

When Microsoft introduced UEFI hegemony, I hated it and immediately change the boot mode to legacy BIOS and continued it till yesterday.

The old PC has so many ports and I did not miss anything.

Yesterday, I bought a mini game box and it's visual BIOS was like a mini program.

I stuck a SSD with Knoppix 9.1 installed it booted in few minutes and after 5 minutes, I switched off an had a day time nap.

Woke up removed the SSD and stuck a blank SSD and installed Emmabantus, using a USB.

I did few mistakes.

1. I did not prepare a  USB and copy the latest books and files I was working with.

2. Game Box did not have an audio port.

In a way, I consider it as a blessing since there is nothing to divert my total concentration.

3. I did not configure my Huawei Mobile WiFi with a MobiTel SIM.

Could not fire the FireFox.
Emmabantus thought I was using a laptop.
I figured out I need to configure Huawei and enter it's password.
With few click of items I found the configuration utility entered the Huawei and signed up with my email.

I have become lazy and Debian does all this at boot time automatically and each action is displaced in a plymath file running one after another.

If Internet configuration fails, it waits for another instance of the configuration of it fails, it reports and move to the next file and boots to my user account.

Debian has saved me tons of hours and I use Emmabantus to have AbiWord available for me but use Libre Office for my work.

4. Did a complete overall including my old Olympia  typewriter to make space.

5. Placed the PC on the bedside rack at bed level so that I can see whether, the ants build their cosy anthill inside to incubate  eggs.
If they do, it short circuits the processor.
I avoid killing black ants.
We have to learn a lot from their sociology that goes beyond the coronavirus pandemics, that come in 100 year cycles.

On the top rack I have the laptop rarely used and my purse, keys and accessories, pens, pencils and marker pens.

I have a very tiny notice board mounted  on the  wall and it never had a notice on it.

6. My notice board is my brain.

7. I started forgetting things when I was an alcohol addict and three years after complete abstinence and my book on alcohol my memory is back but not pristine and I forget spelling for simple words.

The reason for that is the cellphone's wonderful typeface utility.

8. Mind you Moderna Vaccine almost killed me and one if my classmates.
But my classmates son died and he has still not recovered.

My alcoholic friend still goes out for an occasional drink.

9. He tells me a guy junior and known to me anyway, his sister was killed by a thief who had come to steal gold and jewellery.

I got rid of my gold, a decade ago and bought three cellphones and if anybody steals them they are traced by  Google automatically.

I have 15 SIMs for various jobs.

Only two for voice  and the third voice SIM was stolen by a Muslim Guy.

I gave this Muslim Guy  two years to record his sordid things and I am going to Police and Hutch to report it, before I kick the bucket.

I have no hurry to catch a thief.

She tried to alert by screaming and the thief had cut her neck for her to to bleed to death.

It is the standard method in Ceylon which I have seen from the days of Internship.

10. In Ceylon even screaming is curtailed.

This happens when country had been under war footing for over 40 years.

11. Unfortunately this is happening in Ukraine now.
