#what type of software controls the hardware of a computer?

[ms-demeanor]

One thing that I keep seeing whenever I make posts that are critical of macs is folks in the notes going "they make great computers for the money if you just buy used/refurbs - everyone knows not to buy new" and A) no they don't know that, most people go looking for a new computer unless they have already exhausted the new options in their budget and B) no they don't make great computers for the money, and being used doesn't do anything to make them easier to work on or repair or upgrade.

Here's a breakdown of the anti-consumer, anti-repair features recently introduced in macbooks. If you don't want to watch the video, here's how it's summed up:

In the end the Macbook Pro is a laptop with a soldered-on SSD and RAM, a battery secured with glue, not screws, a keyboard held in with rivets, a display and lid angle sensor no third party can replace without apple. But it has modular ports so I guess that’s something. But I don’t think it’s worthy of IFixIt’s four out of ten reparability score because if it breaks you have to face apple’s repair cost; with no repair competition they can charge whatever they like. You either front the cost, or toss the laptop, leaving me wondering “who really owns this computer?”

Apple doesn't make great computers for the money because they are doing everything possible to make sure that you don't actually own your computer, you just lease the hardware from apple and they determine how long it is allowed to function.

The lid angle sensor discussed in this video replaces a much simpler sensor that has been used in laptops for twenty years AND calibrating the sensor after a repair requires access to proprietary apple software that isn't accessible to either users or third party repair shops. There's no reason for this software not to be included as a diagnostic tool on your computer except that Apple doesn't want users working on apple computers. If your screen breaks, or if the fragile cable that is part of the sensor wears down, your only option to fix this computer is to pay apple.

How long does apple plan to support this hardware? What if you pay $3k for a computer today and it breaks in 7 years - will they still calibrate the replacement screen for you or will they tell you it's time for new hardware EVEN THOUGH YOU COULD HAVE ATTAINED FUNCTIONAL HARDWARE THAT WILL WORK IF APPLE'S SOFTWARE TELLS IT TO?

Look at this article talking about "how long" apple supports various types of hardware. It coos over the fact that a 2013 MacBook Air could be getting updates to this day. That's the longest example in this article, and that's *hardware* support, not the life cycle of the operating system. That is dogshit. That is straight-up dogshit.

Apple computers are DRM locked in a way that windows machines only wish they could pull off, and the apple-only chips are a part of that. They want an entirely walled garden so they can entirely control your interactions with the computer that they own and you're just renting.

Even if they made the best hardware in the world that would last a thousand years and gave you flowers on your birthday it wouldn't matter because modern apple computers don't ever actually belong to apple customers, at the end of the day they belong to apple, and that's on purpose.

This is hardware as a service. This is John Deere. This is subscription access to the things you buy, and if it isn't exactly that right at this moment, that is where things have been heading ever since they realized it was possible to exert a control that granular over their users.

With all sympathy to people who are forced to use them, Fuck Apple I Hope That They Fall Into The Ocean And Are Hidden Away From The Honest Light Of The Sun For Their Crimes.

Hi Quirk Wizard! I would love if you could with a quirk based around the user being able to cause glitches or malfunctions to occur within electrical equipment. When I say malfunctions or glitches, I mean like the user causing for camera feed outages or for software to crash due to their presence/ proximity.

I see it working as an Emitter type Quirk that allows the user to cause malfunctions in electronic systems up to a ten-meter range around them, shown by a small surge of electricity. This can target a variety of electronic systems, such as cars, cameras, and computers. The Quirk can vary in the actual effects it has on technology, such as making it freeze up or crash, to having it corrupt its operating system. This can target both hardware and software around them, such as someone's computer files. This works as an area of effect from the user, but they can try to direct it towards specific pieces of technology or programs, especially if they are closer to them. This gives the user a good tool for disruption, able to break down whatever technology that enemies may be using. If nothing else, it can be a quick way to get rid of any evidence or information the user doesn't want people to get. Though the Quirk cannot target anything that isn't advanced technology. The user doesn't have much control over what the actual effects are on something, so they can't make a car drive itself or anything and can have issues trying to aim it. A possible name for the Quirk could be "Malfunction".

the thing that gets me about the lack of technological literacy in a lot of young gen z and gen alpha (NOT ALL. JUST A LOT THAT I SEE.) isn't necessarily the knowledge gap so much as it's the lack of curiosity and self-determination when it comes to interacting with technology.

you have the knowledge gap side of things, obviously, which highlights issues related to the experience of using pieces of hardware/software becoming detached from the workings of the hardware/software itself. you start seeing people (so called "ipad kids") who are less and less familiar with the basics of these machines—like knowing how to explore file and system directories, knowing what parts of the system and programs will be using the most power and interacting with each other, knowing what basics like RAM and CPU are and what affects them etc. these aren't things you need to sink a lot of time into understanding, but they seem to be less and less understood as time has gone on.

and this lack of familiarity with the systems at work here feeds into the issue that bothers me a lot more, which is a lack of curiosity, self-determination, and problem solving when younger people use their technology.

i'm not a computer scientist. i'm not an engineer. i have an iphone for on-the-go use and i have a dinky 2017 macbook air i use almost daily. that's it! but i know how to pirate things and how to quality check torrented material. i know how to find things in my system directories. i know how to format an external hard drive for the specifications of my computer. i know how to troubleshoot issues like my computer running slowly, or my icloud not syncing, or more program-specific problems. this is NOT because i actually know a single thing about the ~intricacies~ of hardware or software design, but because i've taken time to practice and to explore my computer systems, and MOST IMPORTANTLY!! to google things i don't know and then test out the solutions i find!!!!

and that sounds obvious but it's so clear that its just not happening as much anymore. i watched a tiktok the other day where someone gave a tutorial on how to reach a spotify plugin by showing how to type its url in a phone's browser search bar, then said "i'll put the url in the comments so you guys can copy and paste it!!!!!" like ?????? can we not even use google on our own anymore?? what's happening???

this was a long post and it sounds so old of me but i hear this lack of literacy far too much and the defence is always that it's not necessary information to know or it's too much work but it is necessary for the longevity and health of your computers and the control you have over them and it ISN'T too much work at all to figure out how to troubleshoot system issues on your own. like PLEASE someone help.

Government OS Whitepaper

I didn't know what else to call it; maybe they'll call it "MelinWare" and then somebody will invent a scam under that name for which I will inevitably be blamed.

We have a demand for systems Government and Corporate alike that are essentially "Hack Proof". And while we cannot ensure complete unhackability...

Cuz people are smart and mischievous sometimes;

There is growing need to be as hack safe as possible at a hardware and OS level. Which would create a third computer tech sector for specialized software and hardware.

The problem is; it's not profitable from an everyday user perspective. We want to be able to use *our* devices in ways that *we* see fit.

And this has created an environment where virtually everyone is using the same three operating systems with loads of security overhead installed to simply monitor what is happening on a device.

Which is kind of wasted power and effort.

My line of thinking goes like this;

SQL databases are vulnerable to a type of hack called "SQL Injection" which basically means If you pass on any text to the server (like username and password) you can add SQL to the text to change what the database might do.

What this looks like on the backend is several algorithms working to filter the strings out to ensure nothing bad gets in there.

So what we need are Systems that are like an SQL database that doesn't have that "Injection" flaw.

And it needs to be available to the Government and Corporate environments.

However; in real-world environments; this looks like throttled bandwidth, less resources available at any one time, and a lot less freedom.

Which is what we want for our secure connections anyway.

I have the inkling suspicion that tech companies will try to convert this to a front end for their customers as well, because it's easier to maintain one code backend than it is for two.

And they want as much control over their devices and environment as possible;which is fine for some users, but not others.

So we need to figure out a way to make this a valuable endeavor. And give companies the freedom to understand how these systems work, and in ways that the government can use their own systems against them.

This would probably look like more users going to customized Linux solutions as Windows and Apple try to gobbleup government contracts.

Which honestly; I think a lot of users and start-up businesses could come up from this.

But it also has the ability to go awry in a miriad of ways.

However; I do believe I have planted a good seed with this post to inspire the kind of thinking we need to develop these systems.

What is Functional Neurological Disorder

What is Functional Neurological Disorder?? 

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) describes a Problem with how the brain Receives and sends information to the rest of the body. 

It's often helpful to think of your brain as a computer. In someone who has FND, there's no damage to the hardware, or structure, of the brain. It's the software, or program running on the computer, that isn't working properly.

The problems in FND are going on in a level of the brain that you cannot control. It includes symptoms like arm and leg weakness and seizures. Other symptoms like fatigue or pain are not directly caused by FND but are often found alongside it.

Symptoms of FND

FND can have many symptoms that can vary from person to person. Some people may have few symptoms, and some people may have many. 

Functional Limb Weakness 

Functional Seizures 

Functional Tremor 

Functional Dystonia 

Functional Gait Disorder 

Functional Facial Spasm 

Functional Tics 

Functional Jerks and Twitches 

Functional Drop Attacks 

Functional Sensory Symptoms 

Functional Cognitive Symptoms 

Functional Speech and Swallowing Difficulties 

Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) 

Functional Visual Symptoms 

Dissociative Symptoms 

Common associated symptoms or conditions?? 

There are other symptoms or conditions that are commonly associated with FND. These include:

·      Chronic Pain, Including Fibromyalgia, Back and Neck Pain, And Complex Regional Pain Syndrome 

·      Persistent Fatigue 

·      Sleep Problems including Insomnia (Not sleeping Enough) and Hypersomnia (Sleeping too much) 

·      Migraines and other Types of Headaches and Facial Pain 

·      Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other Problems with the Function of your Stomach and Bowel 

·      Anxiety and Panic Attacks 

·      Depression 

·      Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder 

·      Chronic Urinary Retention 

·      Dysfunctional Breathing 

What causes FND?

·      We know that the symptoms of FND happen because there's a problem with how the brain is sending and receiving messages to itself and other parts of the body. Using research tools, scientists can see that certain circuits in the brain are not working properly in people with FND.

·      However, there's still a lot of research to be done to understand how and why FND happens.

Why does FND happen?

FND can happen for a wide range of reasons. There's often more than one reason, and the reasons can vary hugely from person to person.

Some of the reasons why the brain stops working properly in FND include:

the brain trying to get rid of a painful sensation.

a migraine or other neurological symptom

the brain shutting down a part or all of the body in response to a situation it thinks is threatening

In some people, stressful events in the past or present can be relevant to FND. In others, stress is not relevant.

The risk of developing FND increases if you have another neurological condition.

Diagnosing FND

When diagnosing FND, your healthcare provider will carry out an assessment to see if there are typical clinical features of FND.

Your healthcare provider may still choose to test for other diseases and conditions before diagnosing FND. This is because many conditions share the same symptoms and, in around a quarter of cases, FND is present alongside another neurological condition. Someone can have both FND and conditions like sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, epilepsy, or multiple sclerosis (MS).

The diagnosis of FND, however, should be given because you have the clinical features of FND. It shouldn't be given just because there's no evidence of other conditions or illnesses.

Because the symptoms of FND are not always there, your healthcare provider may ask you to video your symptoms when they are bad so they can see what's happening to you. 

Treatments

FND is a variable condition. Some people have quite short-lived symptoms. Others can have them for many years.

There are treatments available that can manage and improve FND. These treatments are all forms of rehabilitation therapy, which aims to improve your ability to carry out every day activities. Many of these treatments are designed to "retrain the brain". Some people with FND benefit a lot from treatment and may go into remission. Other people continue to have FND symptoms despite treatment.

Treatments are: 

·      Physiotherapy 

·      Occupational Therapy 

·      Psychological Therapy 

·      Speech, Language and Swallowing Therapy 

·      Medication (Antidepressants, Neuropathic Painkillers) 

Who is at risk of FND? 

No single process has been identified as being sufficient to explain the onset of FND. Several interacting factors biologically, psychologically, and socially can cause vulnerabilities, triggers and maintaining factors that contribute to FND. 

Why is this happening to me? 

There are usually several underlying biopsychosocial factors which play a role in the development of FND. Some of these factors contribute to making the brain vulnerable, trigger FND episodes and prevent people from getting better. Injury and pain can be a common trigger. Anxiety, depression, and traumatic life experiences can also contribute to making brains vulnerable to FND. 

[the-implications-are-fascinating]

It's not just this.

Computers are becoming more and more locked down. There's only one type of computer humanity knows how to make: it's a computer that can (in principle) compute anything any other computer can. The same hardware that runs an iPhone can run Android or Windows 8 Phone or some cursed amalgamation of Nintendo 64 and SteamOS - the hardware doesn't care.

A computer that's locked to specific software is like a chair that you can't put a cushion on - it works for the lowest common denominator but for people with different needs, it can be uncomfortable, painful, or even downright dangerous. If you want bigger buttons for your shaky hands? Better hope that your market segment is big enough that Big Company Inc decided it's worth spending dev time on making it possible. Or maybe you have photosensitive epilepsy and the app you need for work doesn't let you turn off autoplaying GIFs.

The internet that you can access with your browser (at least historically) puts the power in the hands of the user. Every webpage is described by what words and what images should go where, and it's up to the browser, which runs on your computer under your control, to decide how it's actually going to be displayed.

Sure, maybe the website wants to play this video automatically over your screen. But the website isn't in control. You're in control, because you control the browser. You can turn off images, if you so wish. You can turn off autoplay on videos (or at least you used to be able to - Google has removed the ability to turn off autoplay by default in its Chrome browser and all derivatives of Chromium, like Brave, Opera GX, Edge, etc; if you want to be able to turn off autoplay, you'll either have to switch browsers to something not based on Chromium (meaning either Firefox or Safari) or you'll have to install an extension).

The paradigm is shifting, though. Google Chrome has 65% of worldwide browser usage, and Edge has an additional 6%, and Opera has an additional 3% - and all of those browsers run on Chromium, which Google controls. Google has control over nearly three quarters of the internet browser market share, and that lets it push through new and, ah, interesting technologies. For example, Google can (and is planning to, in June of 2024) unilaterally cripple adblockers running on chromium-based browseers, simply by limiting how many ad sources an extension can block.

And while Google assaults user control over the browser, many other companies seek to circumvent it entirely. Many websites are becoming "web apps", which are just websites, except, if you have a phone, you'll be incessantly bombarded with requests to download an app — or even refuse to work on the browser, like Discord or even Tumblr. Why? Because with an app, the developer has control.

Discord has a legal monopoly over all apps that can be used to access Discord (third party clients are against the terms of service, and you can be banned for using them). Discord can do whatever it wants with its apps. It can push through updates that remove some features and obscure others, and there's nothing anyone can legally do about it.

At least with a browser, there's options other than Google.

It goes deeper. What do you think will happen when the next generation of students, who grew up on Chromebooks, graduates? Do you think they'll learn a new operating system when they start entering working life? Or, if they have the option, will they will use the same old operating system they're used to, locked down as it is with inconvenience after inconvenience until if you want to install Firefox instead of using Chrome, you'll need to operate the terminal? I know some people think that having to touch the terminal at all is a deal-breaker.

And Google is leaning on that, and Chromebook Plus is now a thing - the same old locked-down OS, on more powerful hardware. Do you think the new generation of students will learn to use the terminal so that they can turn off video autoplay? Or do you think that they'll learn a whole new operating system?

Maybe in a few decades, people will think of the old fogies still using Windows in the way people look at Linux users today - arrogant and elitist, thinking that only they know the proper way to use a computer, and obsessed over being able to control what their computer does.

Computers can do anything for the people who control them. But in the end, one day, even lip service to the idea that they are the same people as the people who are using them might disappear, and we'll be left in a bitter world, where we own our chairs and our cars and our electric toothbrushes and our phones and computers, but heaven forbid we add a cushion or replace a battery.

another thought about "gen z and gen alpha don't know how to use computers, just phone apps" is that this is intentionally the direction tech companies have pushed things in, they don't want users to understand anything about the underlying system, they want you to just buy a subscription to a thing and if it doesn't do what you need it to, you just upgrade to the more expensive one. users who look at configuration files are their worst nightmare

How Do IoT Data Loggers Enhance Data Collection?

In the age of digital transformation, collecting and analyzing data has become the backbone of efficient operations across industries. Whether monitoring temperature in a cold storage facility, analyzing vibrations in machinery, or measuring electrical signals in research labs, data loggers play a vital role in recording and preserving data. Among the most commonly used tools in this field are the IoT data logger, digital data logger, and DAQ data acquisition systems.

What is a Data Logger?

A data logger is an electronic instrument designed to record various types of data over time. It typically includes sensors, microcontrollers, memory storage, and software to collect and store information for later use. Data loggers are used in diverse applications—from environmental monitoring and industrial control to logistics and scientific research.

The key benefit of a data logger is its ability to operate autonomously once configured. Users can deploy these devices in remote or hard-to-reach locations where constant human supervision is impractical. They are engineered to log everything from temperature, humidity, and pressure to voltage, current, and vibration.

Understanding the IoT Data Logger

One of the most innovative developments in the world of data logging is the IoT data logger. These devices leverage the power of the Internet of Things to transmit real-time data to cloud-based platforms. Unlike traditional loggers that require manual data retrieval, IoT data loggers provide instant remote access to critical metrics.

This functionality is particularly useful in industries like agriculture, manufacturing, smart cities, and utilities. For example, a smart farm may use IoT data loggers to monitor soil moisture, temperature, and rainfall—enabling automated irrigation systems and real-time alerts. Similarly, in industrial plants, these loggers help monitor equipment conditions and detect anomalies before they lead to costly breakdowns.

IoT data loggers often come with wireless communication features like Wi-Fi, cellular (4G/5G), or LoRaWAN. They are integrated with GPS for location tracking and equipped with dashboards or mobile apps for easy data visualization.

Digital Data Logger: A Reliable Workhorse

A digital data logger is one of the most widely used types of data loggers. These compact devices are designed to measure and store data in digital form, ensuring high accuracy and ease of integration with computers and management systems. Unlike analog data recorders, digital data loggers minimize the chances of human error and offer improved precision.

They are commonly employed in industries where continuous monitoring is crucial—such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and transportation. For example, in cold chain logistics, digital data loggers are used to monitor the temperature of perishable goods during transit. If the temperature deviates from the allowed range, the logger stores the event and alerts the operator.

Modern digital data loggers come with LCD screens, USB or Bluetooth connectivity, long battery life, and configurable sampling intervals. Their plug-and-play functionality makes them ideal for non-technical users who still require dependable data.

DAQ Data Acquisition Systems: For Complex Data Needs

While digital and IoT data loggers are great for general-purpose monitoring, DAQ data acquisition systems are used for more advanced and high-speed data recording applications. These systems consist of sensors, signal conditioning hardware, analog-to-digital converters, and specialized software that works in tandem to gather, process, and analyze large volumes of data in real time.

DAQ data acquisition systems are frequently used in laboratories, engineering research, aerospace, automotive testing, and energy sectors. For instance, during crash tests in the automotive industry, DAQ systems capture a wide range of sensor data—force, acceleration, pressure, and more—at extremely high speeds.

What sets DAQ systems apart is their ability to handle multiple input channels simultaneously and offer highly customizable configurations. They are typically connected to a PC or an industrial controller, allowing users to visualize and manipulate data through sophisticated software tools like LabVIEW or MATLAB.

Choosing the Right Tool

Choosing between an IoT data logger, digital data logger, and DAQ data acquisition system depends on your specific application needs:

IoT data logger: Best for remote, real-time monitoring where wireless communication is key.

Digital data logger: Ideal for routine environmental or process monitoring with accuracy and ease of use.

DAQ data acquisition: Suited for research and engineering environments where complex, high-speed, multi-signal data is required.

Conclusion

Data logging technologies have evolved to match the ever-growing demand for precision, efficiency, and real-time access. Whether it’s the connectivity of an IoT data logger, the reliability of a digital data logger, or the power and complexity of DAQ data acquisition systems, these tools empower industries to make smarter, faster, and more informed decisions. As technology continues to advance, the future of data logging promises even greater integration, automation, and intelligence.

The media narrative that future generations would become "digital natives" was always kind of obviously wrong to me, because those "digital natives" were really a phenomenon confined to people born within a very specific window of time (roughly 1982 to 1989), who came from a specific background i.e. middle class, and fit a certain profile i.e. male, "indoor kids". Now, I was one of those kids. The week I was born in August '88 was the same week my dad bought a computer, an Atari ST. I grew up on that computer, using it from a very young age. Then in 1995 my dad bought me and my brother (but let's be honest, I was the one who used it more than anyone else, and it eventually ended up in my room) a 90mhz 486DX2 with 16MB RAM and a Gravis Ultrasound. It ran DOS 6.0 so I had to learn how to use a command line, how directories worked, and how logical and consistent file organization saved time and effort. Because everything was command line, you learned how to type properly. I hit 95WPM on a bad day, 130WPM on a good day.

Running games back in the DOS/WIN9X days could be a pain in the ass. I learned how how to set my soundcard's IRQ so that I wouldn't wind up with interrupt conflicts and then suddenly my joystick wouldn't work. You'd run into driver problems constantly, and the early 3D days it was a nightmare trying to get games to run. So you learned how to troubleshoot. In general there were less layers of abstraction between you and the OS, and between the OS and the hardware. You had more direct control over processes, and more access to the guts of the OS, all of which has the drawback of allowing for the user to really fuck things up in catastrophic ways.

You learned basic computer literacy because you had to, and it was often painful and frustrating. Now, for obvious reasons, developers wanted to reduce that friction. If you make it so the only way to install most software is through a walled garden app store, well that reduces the chances grandma installs identitythief.exe, and if you lock down certain settings and place critical files in hidden folders well then your little brother is less likely to delete system32.dll because someone in voice chat told him it would speed up his game, and if you make the console/command prompt/terminal less important well then there are less chances to misuse a recursive modifier with a remove file command and accidentally delete all your files.

As every action becomes more and more abstracted from what's actually going on, the average end user no longer has to learn many of the skills that I learned by necessity and no one is bothering to teach them because the narrative told us that kids would grow up as digital natives, able to perform all sorts of feats with computers, and understand them on an instinctual level. But they failed to predict that so much user experience would be so frictionless that there would be little reason to do the difficult and frustrating work of learning how computers work, and if there's no reason and no opportunity to learn a skill, well then no one bothers to learn that skill.

The whole "digital native" thing was always bunk. I realized that when troubleshooting issues for people just a few years younger than me, whose first computer of their own was a Macbook or a Windows XP/Vista/7 machine. The gulf in knowledge was pretty immense. Some of them would know specific programs like Pro Tools, Photoshop or Final Cut very well (often because they had taken a course or had been taught by someone), but they were helpless if anything went wrong with their computer, even simple things. You'd even find this sometimes with people who could program, I never bothered learning how to program beyond BASIC and HTML (I can do rudimentary BASH scripts too) but I definitely know more than some people I've met who are competent coders, and I don't consider myself an expert.

I don't want to get all "things were better back in my day", because honestly it's a hell of a lot better now. I much prefer it when things just work and I'm not forced to tinker with something for hours to make it work. If I'm going to tinker I'd rather do so of my own volition. That said, there's something to be said about having at just a little friction in the user experience, just enough to make you go "so why does this work like that?"

Also stop giving children iPads. Jesus Christ.

this can't be true can it

An Introduction to Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is an information technology (IT) resource delivery system whereby users access various services over the Internet on an as-needed subscription basis. These services include analytics, databases, networking, servers, software, and storage. There is no need for individuals and businesses to purchase and manage physical resources like data centers and servers, as they can instead access technology services remotely.

Common cloud computing applications include email services like Google Gmail, storage services like Microsoft Dropbox, and streaming services like Netflix. Popular cloud service providers (CSPs) include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.

Cloud computing dates back to the 1960s, when Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider, an American psychologist and computer scientist, floated the idea of global networking, an infrastructure model that would make remote access to services possible. However, modern cloud computing infrastructure came into being during the early 2000s. Amazon introduced AWS in 2002. Later, in 2006, Google introduced Google Apps, which is now Google Workspace. Other companies like Microsoft followed suit. In 2009, the Microsoft made its popular Microsoft Office suite accessible via the cloud.

This technology uses a network (typically the Internet) to link users to cloud infrastructure where they can rent computer services. The infrastructure’s components include data centers, networking facilities, and virtual services.

There are four main cloud computing models: private cloud, public cloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud. A private cloud is owned and managed in house by a company. It offers the benefits of accessing pooled resources while offering enhanced control and security.

Third-party CSPs host and manage public clouds via the Internet. Meanwhile, a hybrid cloud combines the private cloud and public cloud deployment models. This enables users to access public clouds and still maintain the improved control and security characteristic of private clouds.

Finally, the multi-cloud model allows users to select specific services from different CSPs. For instance, a company can choose an email service from one CSP and data storage from another.

The three main cloud computing service types include software as a service (SaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and platform as a service (PaaS). SaaS provides full-stack application services, including infrastructure maintenance and software upgrades. IaaS provides IT resources, similar to what businesses own in house (such as computers, storage devices, and networks). Finally, PaaS provides hardware and software resources that businesses can use to develop applications without having to manage and maintain the required infrastructure.

Cloud computing has several benefits. To begin, it offers flexibility and scalability. An individual or business can choose the services they need, with the option to upgrade to receive more services by choosing another subscription plan. Such flexibility and scalability help save computer storage space for users.

This technology also hosts a vast number of business applications, allowing users to work remotely by accessing data and application programs. Cloud services’ superior computing power has also made it possible to take advantage of sophisticated technologies like generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and quantum computing.

Productivity is also improved because time-consuming activities like hardware setup and software patching are already taken care of. Instead, IT teams can focus on other important business tasks. Increased productivity also comes with improved performance, since cloud services run on regularly updated global data centers with superior computing capabilities.

Finally, cloud services are reliable, since users can back up and recover lost data. This is made possible through redundant sites where CSPs store data. Moreover, CSPs offer enhanced security features, providing controls, policies, and technologies that protect data, applications, and infrastructure from threats.

What's wrong with floating-point numbers? (OR why can't calculators be trusted?)

Floating point numbers; for the mathematicians: irrational numbers, even if they could otherwise be represented rationally; for everybody else: decimal points.

MICROSOFT ARTICLE FROM MARCH OF 2023 ON THE ISSUE

An excerpt: "Never assume that a simple numeric value is accurately represented in the computer. "

This has to do with hardware issues, binary specifically, being limited in how it can represent a decimal. Because you can't really split a bit in half like you can an irrational number.

Here's my question though; why isn't there more precision control?

For example; in JavaScript: 0.2+0.1=0.3000000004 (or something like that).

Why does it bother to go so many digits deep in the first place? Why aren't there limits in place! Or at least; limitations a programmer can set in order to ensure accurate enough precision.

I should, theoretically. Just be able to get 0.3 if I set precision to 2, but that's not an option. (At least not in JavaScript, which you would think is the best place.for it given we want accurate *enough* and not *perfect* anyway.)

My history with studying AMD processors, video cards, and stocks; suggests that outside of video cards, AMD is actually the most accurate at floating point calculations. (This includes experience with video and music processing, file compression, and other complex processes)

Which, low-key; if you're gonna get into Video or Music editing, (especially as more than a hobby, I'd go with AMD, other processors focus on integer calculations instead.)

Now, typically, Video Cards are *much much better* at floating point calculations. And that's what videogames, 3D software, crypto, and other complex scientific software tend to default their calculations on. Because of the accuracy.

But that leads me to my next question; since floating point accuracy can't ultimately be trusted in a binary type system... How does crypto intend to stay for the long-haul, once that limit is breached in modern hardware?

We have to be close, right? I mean once the adoption of crypto drives mining at a higher rate than hardware is actively improving.

What about other security features and programs? Would this Introduce security flaws?

I know for a fact that most scientific calculations are inaccurate. Like, just look up 1+0+1+0 or 1+1-1+1-1. Which demonstrates these inaccuracies leading to, and suggesting that 1+1-1+1 eventually equals 999999999(+more 9s).

This includes your excel financial spreadsheet that you use for budgeting.

I know this, because I've done individual calculations that don't line up with manual interpretation that require summation over the *simpler formulas*

How many mathematic and scientific papers at a college and PhD level then; are compromised because they used flawed hardware without adjusting for inaccuracies?

I wonder...

Anyway... My real question is; why isn't there a better way to deal with the issue yet?

Food for thought.

Future Growth Trends and Innovations in the Global Embedded Hypervisor Market to 2030

As embedded systems evolve from isolated controllers into networked, multifunctional platforms, the demand for efficient, secure, and flexible software environments continues to grow. At the center of this evolution is the embedded hypervisor a technology that is quietly reshaping industries ranging from automotive to defense, industrial automation, and beyond.

What is an Embedded Hypervisor?

An embedded hypervisor is a type of virtualization layer specifically designed for resource-constrained embedded systems. Unlike traditional hypervisors used in data centers or enterprise IT environments, embedded hypervisors must be lightweight, deterministic, and highly secure. Their primary role is to allow multiple operating systems or real-time operating systems (RTOS) to run concurrently on a single hardware platform, each in its own isolated virtual machine (VM).

This capability enables system designers to consolidate hardware, reduce costs, improve reliability, and enhance security through isolation. For example, a single board in a connected car might run the infotainment system on Linux, vehicle control on an RTOS, and cybersecurity software in a third partition all managed by an embedded hypervisor.

Market Dynamics

The embedded hypervisor market is poised for robust growth. As of 2024, estimates suggest the market is valued in the low hundreds of millions, but it is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 7% through 2030. Several factors are driving this growth.

First, the increasing complexity of embedded systems in critical industries is pushing demand. In the automotive sector, the move toward electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous driving features requires a new level of software orchestration and separation of critical systems. Regulations such as ISO 26262 for automotive functional safety are encouraging the use of hypervisors to ensure system integrity.

Second, the proliferation of IoT devices has created new use cases where different software environments must coexist securely on the same hardware. From smart home hubs to industrial controllers, manufacturers are embracing virtualization to streamline development, reduce hardware footprint, and enhance security.

Third, the rise of 5G and edge computing is opening new frontiers for embedded systems. As edge devices handle more real-time data processing, they require increasingly sophisticated system architectures an area where embedded hypervisors excel.

Key Players and Innovation Trends

The market is populated by both niche specialists and larger companies extending their reach into embedded virtualization. Notable players include:

Wind River Systems, with its Helix Virtualization Platform, which supports safety-critical applications.

SYSGO, known for PikeOS, a real-time operating system with built-in hypervisor capabilities.

Green Hills Software, which offers the INTEGRITY Multivisor for safety and security-focused applications.

Siemens (via Mentor Graphics) and Arm are also active, leveraging their hardware and software expertise.

A notable trend is the integration of hypervisor technology directly into real-time operating systems, blurring the lines between OS and hypervisor. There’s also growing adoption of type 1 hypervisors—those that run directly on hardware for enhanced performance and security in safety-critical systems.

Another emerging trend is the use of containerization in embedded systems, sometimes in combination with hypervisors. This layered approach offers even greater flexibility, enabling mixed-criticality workloads without compromising safety or real-time performance.

Challenges Ahead

Despite its promise, the embedded hypervisor market faces several challenges. Performance overhead remains a concern in ultra-constrained devices, although newer architectures and optimized designs are mitigating this. Additionally, integration complexity and certification costs for safety-critical applications can be significant barriers, particularly in regulated sectors like aviation and healthcare.

Security is both a driver and a challenge. While hypervisors can enhance system isolation, they also introduce a new layer that must be protected against vulnerabilities and supply chain risks.

The Road Ahead

As embedded systems continue their transformation into intelligent, connected platforms, the embedded hypervisor will play a pivotal role. By enabling flexible, secure, and efficient software architectures, hypervisors are helping industries reimagine what’s possible at the edge.

The next few years will be critical, with advances in processor architectures, software frameworks, and development tools shaping the future of this market. Companies that can balance performance, security, and compliance will be best positioned to lead in this evolving landscape.

Methods for discriminating LED display control system and control card

In the LED display industry, "control system" and "control card" are two frequently mentioned words. Many people are prone to confusion when they first come into contact with it, not knowing what they specifically refer to, nor knowing the difference between the two. In fact, correctly understanding and distinguishing the control system from the control card is of great help to select, install and post-maintenance. Today, we will use the most straightforward and practical method to teach you how to quickly master the judgment method.

What is an LED display control system?

Simply put, the LED display control system is a complete set of technology and hardware combinations that "makes the LED screen display content normally". It includes the sending end, the receiving end, the software platform, and sometimes even involves video processors and other devices. Take you to learn about the LED display control system for 5 minutes.

The control system is mainly responsible for:

Send the contents of computers, players and other signal sources to the display screen

Process picture resolution, brightness, color, etc.

Ensure stable operation of the display and screen synchronization

It can be understood that the control system is a "big butler" responsible for managing and coordinating all display tasks of the LED screen.

Common types of control systems are:

Synchronous control system (such as large stages, concert LED screens)

Asynchronous control system (such as outdoor advertising screens and store door front screens)

Synchronization means that the content is displayed in real time following the changes in the computer screen, while asynchronous means that the content is imported into the device in advance and can be played normally even if it is separated from the computer. Knowledge about synchronous control and asynchronous control of LED displays.

What is an LED display control card?

In contrast, the control card is a specific hardware in the control system. It is a specific widget that executes the "Content Display" command. For example, in an LED advertising screen, there is a small board that specifically receives, stores, and plays preset pictures or videos. This small board is a control card.

The main functions of the control card:

Receive the content of the program from the computer

Store and manage playback content

Control the playback order, time, method, etc. of the display screen

Control cards usually appear in asynchronous control systems. Because asynchronous systems emphasize "offline playback", a board is needed to independently complete content management.

Common types of control cards are:

Single and double color control card (commonly used for marquee lanterns and door-head subtitle screens)

Full color control card (for screens that require complex pictures or videos)

Methods for distinguishing LED control system and control card

Once we understand the basic concepts, we can easily distinguish them. Here are some simple and direct methods:

Look at the application scenario

If the large screen needs to be played synchronously with the computer in real time (such as stage screens and conference screens), then the complete control system is basically used. 7 guides to save the cost of stage rental LED screens.

If it is a small screen, which plays advertisements and subtitles, and works independently without connecting to a computer, it is usually a control card.

Check the number of equipment

The control system usually involves multiple devices, such as sending cards, receiving cards, control software, video processors, etc.

The control card is usually a small single board with a small size and is installed inside the LED box.

Watch the playback method

Need to switch content in real time? Want to connect to the computer? →That is the synchronous control system.

Can the content be uploaded in advance and can it be played off? No need to connect to a computer? →That's the control stuck at work.

Look at the specifications and parameters

Usually, the control system parameters will emphasize load capacity (such as the screen with a resolution), refresh rate, grayscale level, etc., for the overall effect. The control card focuses more on storage capacity (how much MB/GB), supported playback file formats, programs, etc., and prefers separate content management.

Look at the brand model

Common control system brands include NovaStar, Colorlight, Linsn, etc.;

Control card brands also include Nova and Carlett, but many low-end markets also include brands such as Huidu, BX (Lingxin), Listen, etc. that specialize in controlling cards. It can usually be distinguished on models, for example, the HD series is a typical asynchronous control card series. How to choose: Top LED brands vs emerging brands.

Summarize

A summary of one sentence:

The control system is a complete set of solutions to manage LED screen display, involving multiple devices such as sending cards and receiving cards;

The control card is a single hardware that is responsible for receiving and playing content, and is often used in small, independent working displays.

Just remember:

See if there is any computer connected

See if there is any synchronous playback

Depend on whether it is a complete set of equipment or a single board

You can basically quickly judge. For those who need to purchase, use or maintain LED displays, it is very important to understand this point, and you can avoid detours and spend less money.

Thank you for watching. I hope we can solve your problems. Sostron is a professional LED display manufacturer. We provide all kinds of displays, display leasing and display solutions around the world. If you want to know: Things to note during the use of stage LED rental screen. Please click read.

Cryptocurrency and Cybersecurity: Protecting Against Hacks and Thefts

The emergence of digital currencies has the radical potential to upend notions of money, financial instruments, and even technology itself. Nevertheless, along with the increasing use and adoption of digital currencies such example as Bitcoin forex trading platform, and other digital tokens the risk of hacking theft, and cryptocurrency hijacking also increased. It stands to reason that sustained growth in the value of cryptocurrency is provided with strong safeguards against cyber-attacks. In this article, we will consider the fundamental role of cybersecurity within the sphere of cryptocurrencies, and we shall provide useful guidelines that can help you shield your virtual wealth against any possible dangers and threats.

The Digital Space: Cybersecurity as Cryptocurrencies' Rising Imperative

Cryptocurrencies are universal assets that exist on the basis of decentralized blockchain networks, they impart transparency, security as well as autonomy. Despite the many benefits these currencies offer, the special features they provide, such as anonymity, irreversible transactions, and decentralized regulation, make these cyber-currencies perfect hideouts for cybercriminals, hackers, and scammers. Hence securing cyberspace with strong cybersecurity practices must be a priority for safeguarding digital assets in any or all ecosystems that have cryptocurrencies.

Common Cryptocurrency Security Risks

Phishing Attacks

These types of phishing bids rely on fake sites impersonating any software vendor of wallets, websites, or exchanges, with the aim of getting these kinds of sensitive information from the users: seeds, private keys, and seed phrases. Once Ukrainian cryptocurrency wallets are gained, hackers are free to commit further illegal acts, such as asset theft.

Malware and Ransomware

Malicious programs, as in the case of keyloggers, Trojans and ransomware, may install on your devices thereby making your cryptocurrency wallets and passwords vulnerable. Ransomware malware is captive to your files and will only release it if a ransom in cryptocurrency is paid while keyloggers and Trojans can keyboard and screen capture activity to steal your login credentials and digital assets.

Exchange Hacks

Exchanges are considered trading platforms where people can buy, sell or trade crypto-currencies. But the moment secure measures against hacking or cybersecurity breaches are not sufficient or the emergence of insider threats takes place, the technological system is proven to be unsafe and leads to financial losses of users and the spoiled reputation of the cryptocurrency industry as a whole.

SIM Swapping

SIM swapping can take place when the fraudsters succeed in phoning your mobile carrier to change the location of your phone number to the SIM card in their possession. What cybercriminals do once they get control of your phone number is compromise you with two-factor authentication (2FA), reset your passwords, and provide an easy way to access your cryptocurrency wallets and digital assets.

Increasing awareness: How to efficiently protect against cryptocurrency hacks and thefts

Hardware Wallets

One of the most imperative features to pick while choosing a hardware wallet is to store the keys for your private keys and digital assets offline. This includes devices such as Ledger Nano S, Trezor, and KeepKey. One of the most effective ways of securing your digital coins is by storing them offline in a hardware wallet where they are not susceptible to online hacks, viruses, and thefts thus offering the maximum safety and tranquility of mind.

Software Wallets

Software wallets, or hot wallets, run from your computer, tablet, or else your smartphone. Quite easy to access and to use, software wallets however are not as secure as hardware ones but they can relieve users from friend’s accidentality. To strengthen your washing software's security, keep it encrypted, updated with the latest security level patches, and secured by strong passwords, biometrics authentication, and multiple-factor authentication (MFA).

Never set up a password that is easy to guess or forget, use multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever possible.

The generation of strong passwords that are unique for your cryptocurrency accounts, wallets, and exchanges will keep your cryptocurrency-powered devices safe from fraud and other online dangers. Furthermore, the option of MFA can provide the second form of the verification requirements, which need to be done before you can take any actions or log in to your account, for example, using the OTP, fingerprint biometric verification, or hardware token.

Watch for Phishing Skims and Fake Links.

Be on the lookout and cautious about any clicks you make on links, downloads you get of attachments, or responding to unsolicited emails or messages, or posts relating to cryptos. Check the reality of websites, wallets, exchanges, or services before giving or making any confidential information to avoid ending up a victim of phishing attacks, malware, or any fraudulent programs designed to deliver your digital assets and destroy your general safety in the cyber realm.

A safe and functional cryptocurrency exchange has to be used.

While selecting a cryptocurrency exchange, pick out the well-known, solid, and proven platforms that have a history of compliance with strict security policy, openness, and reliability. Due diligence needs, as the rules require, to include reviewing, checking, and analyzing regulatory compliance, insurance coverage, and cybersecurity measures, such as cold storage systems, encryption protocol, and regular safety audits. They help evaluate if your digital assets are safe and secured from any unauthorized access.

Learn and Strive to Become Informed and Aware

Sustain yourself and your peers as tech-informed and secure experts in the crypto realm. Be aware of the newest types of cyber dangers, mechanisms, and procedures. Use reliable websites, join cryptocurrency members' forums, and social media groups, or take webinars, workshops, or online courses to broaden your knowledge of cybersecurity. Also, get consultancy from cybersecurity experts, financial advisors, or digital industry professionals to develop your knowledge, awareness, and understanding of cybersecurity threats and how to protect digital assets in the fast-changing cryptocurrency planet.

Conclusion

Cryptocurrencies represent a new and widening sphere of financial possibilities, entailing investments, independence, and emancipation. forex account, the decentralization and digitalism of these currencies mean that their owners and users must be very careful in order to avoid being hacked or robbed in a way that will result in significant financial losses and damage to their reputation. By ensuring cybersecurity is the top priority, securing your wallet and exchanges appropriately using safe browsers, being cautious when using a credit card and other online services, being vigilant and slow to phishing scams and suspicious activities, and staying informed and educated about cybersecurity risks and best practices will minimize or remove totally cyber attack risks as well as protect your privacy while navigating the composite and dynamic cryptocurrency space with confidence, res Preventing the harm is, indeed, better than treating the effect but taking action on cybersecurity now means you remain safe from loss and repentance in the future. Your Crypto journey should be safe, secure, and smooth. When you know how to differentiate between the cryptocurrency that has a future and the one that is just a copy of a copy, you will enjoy the digital world with peace of mind and with the belief in blockchain technology and a decentralized financial system.
