Internet use on the Pi

A lot of people like about it giving inbuilt add blocker the standard form of Chromium  with all the adds or other issues made by  Google for why it should load very fast for  you ,it kind of reminds me of using the older browsers before it became all about the ads which Google made into big thing in the past or present a like.   I think a problem many people have not worked out yet if you want to make a website attractive  you need balance between to much ads and no ads for things to work well but the Pi takes care of this problem out of the bow by it's starting browser being decided to get around the internet speed you loss from to many ads. You can if you prefer easy install Brave I use it a lot of  the system as well seems to work as well as the starter internet browser you get so kind of what you prefer you may prefer Firefox or something else. Tor works well on it as well so if you want to go down more the privacy mode many options exist and will work...

cobol code

COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) is a programming language that is primarily used in business and administrative systems. It's known for its readability and usage in handling large volumes of data. Although it might be difficult to cover all aspects of COBOL in a single response, I can provide you with a brief introduction and an example code snippet to help you get started.

COBOL programs are composed of a series of paragraphs that contain statements. Each statement starts with a verb and ends with a period. Here's a simple example of a COBOL program that calculates the sum of two numbers: https://www.theengineer.info/2023/05/development-programming-languages.html

cobol
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION. PROGRAM-ID. ADDITION. DATA DIVISION. WORKING-STORAGE SECTION. 01 NUM1 PIC 9(5). 01 NUM2 PIC 9(5). 01 SUM PIC 9(6). PROCEDURE DIVISION. DISPLAY "Enter the first number: ". ACCEPT NUM1. DISPLAY "Enter the second number: ". ACCEPT NUM2. COMPUTE SUM = NUM1 + NUM2. DISPLAY "The sum is: " SUM. STOP RUN.

Let's break down this code:

  • The IDENTIFICATION DIVISION specifies the name of the program.
  • The DATA DIVISION defines the data used in the program. In this example, we have three data items: NUM1, NUM2, and SUM. They are defined with their respective picture clauses, which determine their data types and sizes.
  • The PROCEDURE DIVISION contains the main logic of the program. It starts with displaying a message and accepting user input for NUM1 and NUM2.
  • The COMPUTE statement calculates the sum of NUM1 and NUM2 and stores the result in SUM.
  • Finally, the program displays the result and stops execution with the STOP RUN statement.

This is just a basic example, but it should give you an idea of the structure and syntax of a COBOL program. COBOL is known for its extensive support for handling files and working with large data sets, so you'll find many features and capabilities beyond what's covered here.

Is Windows 11 as bad as so many people claim?

 First thoughts It loads fast it has a much better display than Windows 10.  I was not a fan of Windows 10 it was overall very unattractive to see or work with overall and they tried so hard to like force the app ideas towards people which did not improve the user experience in anyway overall just make things get slow or not work well overall. Only thing I did not like the idea of being forced to make a email address or use run it seemed pretty overkill to me.  https://www.techradar.com/news/windows-11-home-and-pro The start up system is a bit slow here since so much updating has  get done in order for it to be ready to work. It would be good idea to not force people to start using Edge give other options such as Chrome or Brave or something else would be good idea since Edge is pretty slow running overall and not that good from a speed viewpoint Brave is my favorite browser at the moment for speed improvements and also because it protects your data better than Googl...
