Computer security has become such an issue I’ve been obsessed with looking for a solution. Bugs in Bluetooth aside, as I have an answer to that issue which requires variable frequencies and a lot of Geometry. I promise you eyes would glaze over. Short version? You can’t turn it off completely because you would never find anything again if you could!

What we really need is a new CPU and something other than Binary. Hackers are going after the OS now – a reboot seems necessary. 

So if we need to go back go the drawing board on security why can’t we simply change the way circuits work? Ha Simple! Bullshit. Okay getting a fuse type thing into a CPU would be challenging but hear me out.

Circuits are just as they sound, a loop. And there is either power going through that loop or there isn’t. O, 1 ad nausum. That gets Processed, (Hence the other name CPUS are known by), and the. CPU tells the rest of the computer “Hey we’ve got a 0110001… here.”

So what if we added a step? On off, as normal, and stop go? It can either pass through if it’s on or not? Quadniary. How would the mathematics of Trinix or whatever work? Good thing 2 is also a prime number. Nope I’ve lost you.

0,1,11, 01

I don’t know. Maths is weird.

Fine sure it means nothing unless you grew up with those roses made out of zeros and ones and practically see binary in your sleep (I wish I was kidding). We would need to go back to the Quad equivalent of Bios, Quadros or something. We could bug Microsoft and Apple to start over with their operating systems entirely. But I doubt they would be interested unless Quad Bluetooth was an option!

I‘ve lost you again haven’t I? (I’m tired I almost typed Eye). So here’s what we’re looking at, if I skip over various security issues normally associated with the hush agreement of a job. We have a hacker problem. It’s easy now and we’ll leave alone why. Just that a hardware and operating system, back-door type issue is indeed going to cause havoc if we don’t stop bitching about computer engineers securing computers.

Seriously? Come one. Next you’ll complain about… nope my computer just gave me a look. You probably already do but I shouldn’t talk about that either. Sheesh.

Look, here’s the thing. I don’t know anything about the guy, (Elon Musk) Tesla Shmeschler. He does software and designed the operating system of a car. That’s a whole new functionality of a computer for those not impressed. Oh Hey, Elon Musk? Mind giving this post a glance over? What do you say to new hardware? Lots and lots of mathematicians? And maybe the Linux community getting excited again because they were hit the hardest?

Oh my god Sylvanna, drop the tech talk what the fuck would we need to do?

Well the CPU would need to change, RAM would have the same functionality but different slots, so you have to replace the whole thing The graphics card and hard drive are probably fine but the former needs a whole new driver and the later I don’t know. Certainly a new plug and maybe giving up on the old stuff entirely running the world.

Kind of like USB 2.0 becoming Mini-USB

Oh got you back again. Tech companies are about to hit the end of how small they can make things and are running out of innovation which will slow the whole market down and fewer computers sales means fewer jobs for software engineers, and no I don’t think so.

Ah yes, good old supply and demand. This doesn’t exist yet, but the demand does. We need faster, more flexible and variable hardware and operating systems that can keep up.

Software on top is icing once you have those and security will at least take a lot longer to unravel! Viruses? I don’t know, that’s what Cyber Security is for. Well one thing.

Sure yes, Adobe would be annoyed. But they’re not (As far as I have read) being… oh wait PDF and acrobat is under fire. Never mind. We need this folks. Like I need my cat. (Just a plug for the picture really). Yes, I am in a loopy, loopy mood and thus circuits are a stop and go mess in my head. (Sorry it was there). In short software would need ground up new structure. This would have to move in the background then annoy Hollywood once Adobe does decide to run on something new. Meanwhile rest of us could enjoy some damn peace of mind!

Or make a lot of people lose sleep thinking about how to do it, which is better than losing sleep over keeping out criminals!
