Chapter 399 Xing Baohua is a good person!
While worms, Grey Pigeons, and even hardware-damaging viruses were rampant on the American internet.
Finally, someone suggested that all servers with internet access should be shut down.
Reduce the spread of computer viruses and protect the data on your computer, even expensive hardware.
Many people have discovered that most of the data on their computers is worthless, sometimes less than one-thousandth the value of the hardware.
And those hackers actually stole their worthless data and damaged their expensive hardware.
It is this psychological contrast that has led many people to clamor for shutting down the internet.
Actually, the most stressed-out are the experts in the electronics field at the Investigation Bureau.
They were also quite troubled by computer viruses, analyzing virus versions while tracing IP addresses.
Xing Baohua was merely a fuse; once lit, he was left alone. The real culprits were the corrupt individuals within their own ranks.
How can Xing Baohua be blamed for such a large-scale outbreak? He was actively trying to find ways to kill the virus.
There are several computers in his office now, seven of which are not connected to the internet.
This thing is divided into three types according to its configuration.
These are high-end computers with the latest CPU configurations from IBM, Dell, and HP, using Intel's 386 chips.
All three chips use passive cooling, meaning that heatsinks are used for CPU cooling.
A fan was used on the power supply, and this single fan is the only one that provides cooling for the entire computer.
These computers are quite expensive, each costing around $2,900 to $3,600.
Next up was an older model IBM computer.
The remaining options are the large Apple computers, the second-generation Apple products, and the Lisa and Macintosh.
The MOS 6502 CPU used in the Big Fruit II computer was used not only in the second generation, but also in the first to third generation.
Most other companies upgrade their processors based on performance, but Apple doesn't.
That's how generous we are; this MOS 6502 CPU is cheap! It's one-sixth cheaper than Motorola's.
Why is it cheap?
Motorola initially created the 68K chip to compete with Intel. They concentrated resources and invested heavily in developing the 68K.
The goal is to make the 68k chip suitable for use in enterprise-level mainframe computers.
Therefore, Motorola places great emphasis on the comprehensiveness of this chip, integrating ROM, RAM, and various interfaces internally, hoping that computer manufacturers such as HP and Dell can more easily use the 68k to design computers.
However, a genius at Motorola Labs, the developer of the 6502, left Motorola Labs to produce his own CPUs and streamlined the 68K.
It's true that 68K CPUs are expensive, but that's because of the high cost of testing!
The cost of the 6502 was based on the 68K but was also downgraded, which resulted in it selling for only $25 when it was released, a full one-sixth cheaper than the $300 68K.
When Grandpa Qiao and his team were testing this CPU, they thought it was an amazing product that was both high-quality and inexpensive!
Apple's operating system, paired with Apple's SoC, is historically considered the best operating system in the world.
Streamlined instructions, low power consumption, and no need for a cooling system.
An engineer once wanted to add a cooling system, but Grandpa Qiao refused. That guy is so stingy! He operates on the principle of spending less money and selling at a higher price.
He would be heartbroken even if it cost an extra dollar to upgrade the computer.
Therefore, for the sake of saving money, Apple I, II, and III all used the same stripped-down version of the CPU.
Actually, Grandpa Qiao is right. Even though computer hardware has improved, its usage rate is less than 30%.
Personal computers and enterprise computers handle tasks differently.
Therefore, the Apple II made them successful.
However, Apple Lisa's project backfired. They used Motorola's 68K CPU, and even then, the price was negotiated personally by Mr. Qiao.
The price was reduced, but the product still sells for over ten thousand US dollars, and its performance is still outdated.
With the 286 becoming mainstream, it's natural for customers to choose the latest CPU. How many years has the 68K CPU been around?
Other brands of computers are fine to talk about. The older systems use MS-DOS, while the latest CPUs use Win286 and Win386 systems, also known as Win1.0 and Win2.0 systems.
These were all developed based on MS-DOS, and Windows 1.0 already had windowed operation.
Therefore, Xing Baohua's software was all created based on the Windows system.
But Big Fruit is different. In order to save power consumption and other issues, they began to refine their own system.
Why did Lisa fail? The main reason was the lack of available software. Most software resources were geared towards mainstream Windows systems.
Xing Baohua never developed a management software for Daguozi.
This is because the virus format on the Apple computer is incompatible with the software format on the Windows system due to system problems, which prevents the virus from running.
It's not that Apple computers are immune to viruses; they can get infected. In fact, some people have developed viruses specifically targeting Apple systems.
Although it was a minority, it still ignited a firestorm.
This wasn't done by Xing Baohua; it must have been done by programmers from those tech giants.
Competition? Who wouldn't do something unethical for their competitors?
Following Xing Baohua's philosophy, we should eliminate as many as we can!
Xing Baohua also had someone inquire about it, and it turned out that Da Guozi hadn't joined that security alliance either, and the alliance hadn't included them.
