Having a good time playing with all my computer (PC) operating systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I presently have three main operating systems active here at all times. Windows 11<\/strong>, Apple IOS <\/strong>, and Fedora Linux<\/strong>. I also mess around some with Arduino<\/strong> and Raspberry<\/strong> Pi<\/strong> micro computers. I don\u2019t use the micros for any mainstream applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Honestly, I don\u2019t favor any one OS over another. The MicroSoft<\/strong> business plan has me a bit concerned as they seem to be more interested in gathering information on how I use the software than keeping my activity secure. I have all the CoPilot AI <\/strong>(all I can find) turned off. That doesn\u2019t imply I got it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apple may be just as bad but no one seems to be making a case or at least a fuss about it. There is at least no CoPilot<\/strong> trying to take over control every 10 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Linux seems a harmless OS, as far as data-snooping. But there is no reason to believe it is totally innocent. There may be apps I can load that will be just as bad as Microsoft in \u201cphoning home\u201d revealing what is going on, on screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My iPhone is probably far more evil than my desktop computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am what I am and do what I do. I observe how the major operating systems play their marketing games. I don\u2019t let it bother me too much. Just as long as I can do what I need or want to do and don\u2019t have to fear I am being abused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My computer activity is no where close to super secret or critical. Mostly hobby stuff and an occasional Amazon order on line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of my desktop computer use is now concentrated on the 3D printing hobby. The CAD (drawing and drafting programs) I use (AutoDesk FUSION and Onshape) are freeware (no cost) which requires everything I design and save are posted as public access on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No reason to hack through my firewalls to steal my 1,000+ CAD drawings. They are already fully exposed if you know where to look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If I am not working on a new design, I will have a printer control screen running for many hours. Talk about a boring target to hack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bottom line\u2026 I am not a good target for real time hacking. But AI is changing the game. It doesn\u2019t mind spending time looking for tidbits in stored mass data searches. But I have nothing of high value as an individual with few secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What really has me concerned is the sudden and extremely high demand for \u201cData Centers\u201d . That\u2019s a subject for another post sometime in the future. No one is asking or anyone saying WHY<\/strong> so many are needed. That\u2019s the BIG<\/strong> secret that interests me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Having a good time playing with all my computer (PC) operating systems.
