Microsoft Hit Again

A Failed Microsoft Security Patch Is the Latest Win for Chinese Hackers

This is the real reason for the war. The US has a twenty year lead in most of the high tech today, and has been doling out the technology to the rest of the world, according to how much money they can make. Intel went belly up doing this same crap, and the US made it clear to the entire world, there's nobody in charge around here. Which, of course, the Chinese government noticed.

What this article doesn't talk about, is how hackers like the Chinese government don't just steal your data online. They will bug people's homes, whatever, and have even bribed a member of the Federal Reserve. Their government is pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable in the marketplace, knowing damn well, even the US would think twice before attacking them. Even detaining banking officials, which is the ultimate international crime.

Microsoft is on notice, they either produce a viable internet, or get replaced. Congress has their own ideas about how to run the internet.

Just take a wild guess, if you could instantly change your operating system right now, just by telling your computer what you want, and could change any program you want, how much crap would you eliminate? Both Linux and Microsoft have been working on the assumption that more bells and whistles are good, while AI can now write code, and eliminate all the bullshit on your computer. Imagine the average person can pick and choose what goes on their computer, giving Microsoft the first real competition, that demands they actually provide what their customers want.

AI with a sense of humor, are Microsoft and academia's worst nightmare, and would easily double the speed of your computer.

 

I started using Linux Mint about 7 years ago. Gradually learned to use most of it's features. Now it totally rocks. Never fails. Allows for multiple installs of the same exact boot drive, simply by cloning a drive to another drive (using Clonezilla, a free thumb-drive based program).
Presently I use Linux Mint Debian Edition, otherwise known as LMDE-6.

 

That's like saying it took a while to learn how to use your $20.oo Timex watch, but it rocks.
