My OEM Laptop Hijacked by Microsoft
You have to put up with this piece which is technical but I will put it in simple English but mixed with a few jargon words of computer science.
I wanted to call, "a stop" to my Internet activities and its protocols but still, many guys visit my blog space. I decided to continue it bit longer but it will come to a stop eventually, like the dramatic divorce case of Bill Gate but still simmering for a few years before the final stop but his hopeless operating system in the name Windows would limp around for many more years, just as well irritating the gullible Windows user
The machines do not have emotions or brains but are dedicated to doing a particular process, like vending machines distributing soft drinks. It is software or a dedicated program in computer science terminology.
Now my laptop has no operating system running since, I accidentally erased my BSD dedicated ESP boot plan.
I was bored due to Coronavirus incarceration and decided to boot Ubuntu 20 version as a supplementary version to Debian. It reverted back my laptop to Microsoft pirated U.E.F.I. mode and it says there is no operating system, in spite me installing two distributions, Debian 9 and Debian10.
Even Debian finds shy of touching U.E.F.I.
Why?
I do not know.
Is it litigation by Bill Gate cronies?
But TrueOS a BSD version does take over the hard disk and the operating system, in a flash.
It takes over my computer under its umbrella.
TrueOS is totally destructive in the hands of a newbie. To complicate the matter when I pulled out the Ethernet wire I damaged it in several places. I have a few broken parts now. Sadly, I do not have a crimpler to connect the working lengths.
I decided to go WiFi and I pulled the Ethernet wire of the router.
My bed room is 80 feet away from the router. Ethernet wire distance away and Pulling a costly Ethernet wire 80 feet long on the roof is not a healthy pastime at my age,
Besides, there are thunderstorms day and night.
TCP/IP and router protocol will be at the end of this piece.
I used my Dialog data in a few hours downloading Knoppix which stopped exactly at 30% of the download, not once but twice due to our Internet Master, Ad-Monster (I do not call him administrator) interfering with my download well pass midnight. He may have had a paranoia that I was downloading pornographs.
Now coming to BSD and TrueOS are actually Internet Protocol dedicated Operating Systems and one need an active Internet Connection for installing them live. It was five years ago, I boot loaded the laptop with BSD using Ethernet connection (wire) but now I can do that by WiFi and it detected all my carriers but with the data blocked by the Dialog service provider.
I have to eat the humble pie.
Dialog wants nothing but money and there is no proper service. They supercharge on temporary extensions.
Mind you, our Water Bill is more than the Internet Bill with a broken pipe leaking for one month or so without our notice. Thankfully, they did not disconnect the water unlike Telecom.
Mind you, I have stopped answering the land phone or giving any calls. Only, news of Coronavirus and I say the Coronavirus comes through the telephone wire.
Now to the technical stuff.
BSD is platform independent unlike Unix and is a Internet Protocol dedicated system.
If internet is out it is out of service.
1. BSD is platform or computer independent.
It does not matter what operating system you use, an expensive Apple or inexpensive supercharged Linux.
2. It is Internet protocol dedicated.
3. It uses Virtual Memory handsomely.
4. Its software programs are super fast unlike Microsoft.
5. But its learning curve is deep if you are using the black terminal.
6. It has a graphic Vi Editor for Ex terminal editor of Unix.
I hate black terminals.
Graphic terminal is soothing to the eye.
Linux has soothing Desktops and Plasma is my current favourite.
BSD has only one Lumina Desktop which is a bad start for me.
7. Its handling of ESP is pretty good and it erases the UEFI of Microsoft's (OEM Ploy) in seconds without any fear or favour.
8. Its software bundle is lean and fits into a CD not.a DVD.
The rest of the software is in the Internet, now popularly and affectionately known as the cloud.
9. Its server version is slim.
10. It is FREE or free to distribute.
No copyright charges like Apple.
11. It is Unix variant and not Linux variant.
It has teething problems with Linux.
12. It has all the big programming languages like Perl, Ruby, and the anaconda version, Venerable Python.
I am still looking for a Python. programming book for the last three years.
I will stop at this. the next number is my favourite mathematical number 13.
Like Java Beans the operating system should be platform independent.
Hardware manufacturers should not have roadblocks.
It is OK for Apple, since it supervises its own hardware.
Microsoft does not put money on O.E.M. or hardware development but secretly insinuate U.E.F.I.
Its Surface Tab is a failure in front of Androids.
