[19:48]		-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-old.reddit.com | PSA: Do not use UBUNTU and Redhat based distros, this imcludes MINT : linuxquestions
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	"
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	I have been warning people here and there about the danger of using these sell-out distros for a while.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	However, about two years ago, while testing out the newest UBUNTU, I discovered my trusty 20+ years old Sony wasn't able to handle the new UBUNTU, it was really sluggish having only 4GB memory. So I switched it back to AntiX which ran smoothly except that I can no longer run multiple processes in the terminal. In particular, I couldn't run firefox from the terminal. It would simply crash after running a while because firefox uses m
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	ultiple threads as it opens webpages and runs various javascripta simultaneously, aka worker threads when you use 'ps'.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	Upon further investigation, I discovered my coredump limit ('ulimit -c' has beem set to a low value for some reasons. I try to increase it and I can't. The value was fixed for some reason.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	As some of you may know coredump is what happens when your program commits a SegFault. This typically means a memory violation but it could be other stuff too like a race condition or hardware pollong errors. Basically all things related to some problem with the memory. For example, if you buy a faulty memory card, your programs including the kernel itself will segfault all the time and you would get kernel-panic repeatedly. But, I
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	 wasn't getting keenel panic, I was getting segfaulta when I ran my programs as subprocesses. I can open firefox as a main process and it would still segfault eventually, it just lasted a bit longer.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	I decided there was nothimg I could do and I thought it had something to do with my machine being too old, so I switched to another old machine that I bought around 2010, a slightly less older machine, an Acer with 8GB memory this time. Around the same time, I watched a video of Richard Stallman giving a talk and he recommended using Manjaro Linux because it respects user freedom. And I thought why not. I installed Manjaro.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	So this distro is a rolling distro and the first thing it did was destroyed my new old laptop's internal speaker and then all my bluetooth speakers when I try to use external speakers with it. It was a slow process that took over a few month each. But it happened because I was watching certain youtube videos that contains certain frequencies that would create a sharp screaching sound on my speaker. A few times this happened my spea
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	ker actually smelled something was burned. Ny conclusion is that something in these videos were causing an electrical surge to my speakers and not Manjaro. But once I switched to wired through the earphone jack, everything is fine.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	I would later discover that indeed there were something hiding in these videos. It is something I can hear but it doesn't show up as anything odd if you look at its spectrum insdie the audacity program. It basically looked like the video/audio was intentionally sped up for just a brief second to produce this effedt. I do not know why any content producers would do this. My suspicion is that it was embedded by Google to activate som
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	e sleeper program through the audio's device drivers. And, on Manjaro, this translates into burnt out speakers. By using the earphone jack I basically setup a surge protector for my soeaker since you can onlybpass so much electricity through the jack. Anyway, I am a lazy person like the creator of PERL As long as it works I will keep going with it.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	Recwntly I hear about the newly discovered bug related to UEFI which my understanding is basically how the new machines, including mine, get bootup these days. It reminded me of these boot virus that one would get in the early days of PC in the 80s. And it occured to me that what if my old Sony caught a boot virus and thus its memory was corrupted right at boot time. That would explain all the problems it had and why I can't change
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	 the coredump limit because the kernel was reading how much memory I actually have. This means the virus has taken over the rest. So I reasoned the only way it could have gotten there was through UBUNTU befause that was when the trouble stated.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	Anyway, to keep the story short, it all has something to do with rust and the way it handles memory to keep programs safe from lroframmer eerors. Interested party can read my posts about my complaints about rust. The short story is anything made by rust is automatically a virus And with UBUNGU this virus is directly installed into your boot ROM instead of being run in ram during run time.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	As for the speaker issues, I suspect Google is trying to make the virus to do something through these video by calling on the audio drivera to access the memory virus, literally a whistle call. One possibility is to gain access to all the bouetooth devices connected to your computer that you may have around the house, including your phone.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	As an aside, here is something people should know about your android phones. The way each app is run is as a microservice inside a microcontainer like a docker. Each is basically a tiny Linux with its own memory isolated and protected from other microservices, aka apps, including the IO apps provided by default through Google -- this is why you should use a trusted third party keyboard app instead of the defualt, otherwise your pas
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	swords are basically meaningless and since Google controls your gmail, it means double authentication is all just an illusion to make you think you are safe. The only thing protecting your behind is your password. This is also why you shouldn't trust any online password manager, including the one offered by Mozilla foundation. The one local inside firefox is fine because it is stored in an encrypted sqlite file on your computer.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	Sorry for the digression. The only way for Google to get inside the memory of these apps is to gain hardware level access through the kernel. But the kernel is Linux which is controlled by Linus, our computer God. Thus Google can't do it through a microservice inside a container running inside basically a VM running in the user space. But it it can corrupt the memory throught the bluetooth devices through the drivers that were impl
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	anted with the virus which were there due to the nature of anything written and compiled with rust, then it can gain access to device level memory. At that point, it can basically do anything including taking over the whole phone. Of course it would get reaetted once you restadt your phone since Linis still controls Linux, for now.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	This is why the recent decision by Linus to allow binary drivers compiled with rust compiler to be incorporated into the core is stupid. Interestingky enough I think the Manjaro team knows about this vulnerability because I am using the 6 series of kernel which supposedly include some kf these drivers but my memory is fine. They may have replaced the new device drivers woth the old one instead of the mew.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	I know this is totally confusng but the TLDR; is the title.
[19:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	Rust has other issues as well. People interested should look for keywords like 'gpl', 'copyright', 'Oracle', 'virttual machine', 'java', and 'Sxratch' iin ny comments. And if you are a biologist or a medical doctor, please read my post on COVID, mRNA vaccine, Alzheimer and Windex.

[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	The state govt aims to generate huge employment in the state with this initiative. IT minister Nara Lokesh said bringing top players to the AQCC is the top priority and hoped that the project will gain pace with the entry of IBM."
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	SO...
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	They have nothing. They hope to create jobs, a bunch of use cases to look like they are doing QC, but what they really are after is to turn it into a tech hub, so that other mo ro ns pour money in there... "with IBM's entry" - gives them legitimacy, because they have no idea what they are doing. There's nothing in it for IBM, other than, if AK is still around next year, even more jobs flying over there.
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	Building that look like "super tech", is what they have been doing in other parts of the country already.
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	"If we build they will come, WE JUST NEED TO LOOK THE PART and we'll get all these high salary jobs here".
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Hey, it worked with call centers and IT outsourcing, so why not" (and they pat their backs as they say it).
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	The title of the article is telling (pure fanfare), "ordered".... wooo...

[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	This doesn't make any business sense for IBM, but you make sense, plus this gives AK the excuse to shift more jobs over there (as someone else said below). It seems as if they are stealing know-how and IP (at least in appearance or idea, because they have no ability to do it themselves or anything else) to try to position themselves as a tech hub.
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	It's funny, because neither Mo di nor Xiii are being honest with each other, but it will be apparent soon. Neither are honest brokers.

[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	Good one!
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	It's not going to work for them this time around, not in the same way. Foreigners living in China? Only 0.1% of the population (according to China's 2020 Census, there were 845,697, this excluded people from HK, Macao and Taiwan). Seems like they don't like foreigners that much, hu?
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	Can't fill China with H 1 B like s c a m s...
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	However, it's a short distance... China likes to exx ploit workers and make them work in realy bad conditions. So, IT sweatshops speaking Chinese coming to an I n d I a n city (or many cities) soon? Salaries? Nah, won't be the same either.

[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	And did you also throw up when Trump increased the tariffs to 50% ?
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	Or did you take a plane ride with Modi to kiss Xi Jingpeng's ring at the SCO Summit and confirm China's new leadership in the world? You Indians can be as ridiculous as Americans with your posturing. Just like Trump.

Then after cleaning it up I sprayed noon chai out of my nose and all over my laptop. I haven't laughed so hard since last Diwali when our American visitor showed us his yoga during celebrations. Such barbarians!

[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	Thank you for all that Hindu Cosmic Universe information and it's application to Quantum computing.
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	But it's nothing but a lot of BS in the real world, except for the Trump Stuff. He is the only guy who thinks that he can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear when he speaks - particularly about tariffs.

[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	India actually makes perfect sense for quantum computing. Consider the this Hindu deity:
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	Lord Shiva The Cosmic Dancer of Duality and Transformation
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	Shiva embodies duality (creator and destroyer), much like the superposition in quantum computing where a qubit can be both 0 and 1 simultaneously.
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	His dance (Nataraja) symbolizes the dynamic cosmic flow, much like the probabilistic nature of quantum systems.
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	Shivas meditative stillness amidst chaos reflects the observation problem in quantum mechanics (e.g., the observer collapsing the wave function).
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	All the USA has is Lord Trump whose best Hindu analogy is Kali the goddess of chaos and destruction.

[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	You've got that right. They have no infra, no scientists or qualified labor, etc. Just cheap labor to get a building done.
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	What is IBM gaining out of this? Nothing. Why is IBM even involved? You nailed it.
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	Scrutiny from investors? Should be, but would there be? It's going to be close to 6 years of Ugly Low IQ AK b and s.

[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	Sounds like someone in India is trying to get rich by getting their Quantum project off the ground and building "some" infrastructure. Who is paying for this ? It is not clear. But it seems that they could be looking to get money out of IBM using Alvind, while he's captain of the sinking IBM Titanic.
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	They don't have the infrastructure for Quantum, so they are looking to make money by jumping on the Quantum bandwagon. They have no prize winning scientists and are using this project to provide employment to their locals. But as most intelligent folks know, manual labor is the only thing that is what you get in India. It's cheap and plentiful. Not AI or Quantum.
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	What are IBM and it's shareholders going to to get out of this ? This is not clear.
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	If you're asked to be an investor in this project without more information being made available, walk away. This sounds more like a scam run by a State government in India and US IBM executives if it goes ahead.

[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	Someone needs to look into this from a federal government policy perspective, even if QC is not going to go anywhere for a long, long while, cutting edge knowledge CANNOT get out like that.
[21:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. We did it with China, now this?
