IjeBos:
So, exactly as I said.
Maybe ask Grok next time before running ur mouth.

What you think will replace the wheel?

IjeBos:
So, no answer right?
So then, STFU and go back to the back of the classroom.

I don't get cornered easily.

IjeBos:
When the power is off, what maintains the clock on a "modern" computer?

I asked Grok.

Modern laptops without a traditional CMOS battery still maintain real-time clock (RTC) functionality by using alternative methods to power and store system time and BIOS/UEFI settings. Here's how they achieve this:
Non-Volatile Memory (NVRAM or Flash Memory): Instead of relying on a CMOS chip powered by a battery, many newer laptops store BIOS/UEFI settings in non-volatile memory, such as flash RAM. This type of memory retains data without continuous power, eliminating the need for a traditional CMOS battery to preserve settings like boot order or hardware configurations.

Integrated RTC with Main Battery or Supercapacitor: The RTC, which keeps track of time and date, is often integrated into the motherboard's chipset or a dedicated RTC module. Instead of a separate CMOS battery, the RTC can draw minimal power from the laptop’s main battery (even when the device is off) or a small supercapacitor. These components provide enough power to maintain the clock for extended periods without needing a dedicated coin-cell battery.

Network Time Protocol (NTP) Sync: Many modern laptops rely on internet connectivity to sync time via NTP servers upon boot. If the RTC loses track of time (e.g., due to complete power loss), the operating system can automatically update the clock once connected to the internet, reducing dependency on a local battery-powered clock.

Soldered or Embedded RTC Battery: In some cases, rather than a removable CMOS battery, laptops use a small, soldered RTC battery directly on the motherboard. These are designed to last the device's lifespan and are less prone to replacement issues, maintaining RTC functionality without user intervention.

Power Management Features: Advanced power management in modern chipsets allows the RTC to operate in ultra-low-power states, drawing negligible current from the main battery or residual power circuits, ensuring the clock keeps running even when the laptop is powered off or unplugged.

Why Move Away from Traditional CMOS Batteries?
Space Constraints: Thinner laptops lack room for a bulky coin-cell battery and its holder.

Longevity: Non-volatile memory and integrated solutions reduce maintenance needs.

Cost and Simplicity: Eliminating a separate battery simplifies manufacturing and design.

Trade-Offs
Power Dependency: If the main battery is completely drained or removed and no internet is available, the laptop may lose time/date settings until synced.

Repair Complexity: Soldered RTC batteries or integrated solutions can be harder to service compared to replaceable CMOS batteries.

In summary, laptops without CMOS batteries use non-volatile memory for settings, integrated RTC modules, and power from the main battery or supercapacitors, supplemented by NTP for time accuracy. This approach suits compact, modern designs while maintaining essential functionality.

GloriousGbola:
IjeBos has a pc with an 11th gen cpu

All you need is a quick Google search for replace cmos battery.

Every pc manufacturer is still using cmos batteries

A cmos battery is a cheap reliable and trusted tool for retaining the settings in a pc bios.

Like they say if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Tech changes a lot quickly. When Neil. Armstrong landed on the moon they was using slide rules and mathematical tables for calculations.

Budaatum.
I always appreciate you. Im never too bothered over mundane shit. From you I learnt that if I share a post , the OP knows it's me who agrees with the sentiment expressed.
I love humanity and what it does to improve humanity. Now that's a hackneyed expression.

IjeBos:
They are both stored the same way.

IjeBos - Ivy League Computer Engineering Degree
Bemeruca - Third Tier University something or other Degree

I'm tired, I'll just leave that there.

Ijebos . Computer engineering.Look for RTC in modern laptops . In my time the village oafs were the ones who studied through the windows >> They was outside class doing punishments when learning was going on and peering in .

IjeBos:
I just reread this.
It's been a while since I took computer architecture, but I 100% believe this is bullshit as most things you say are.

Where else would bios/uefi settings be stored.

CUPERTINO, CA — Apple CEO Tim Cook warned today that heavy tariffs on Chinese imports could have a severe negative effect on employment opportunities for child slaves.

With President Trump's tariffs offsetting the production advantage China has of producing cheap goods with slave labor, Apple expressed concern that child slaves would be left with nothing to do with their tiny, nimble hands.

everyone was around during trump 1.0. they have their think tanks and policy makers and they had 4 years to prepare for this eventuality.

isreals increasing escalation of hostilities was clearly planned on a trump win, as an example

china is ready for them. if huawei and zte could ride it out, so can china. they do not run on shareholder value and quarterly reports

The lifting of reciprocal sanctions apply to all countries .
Consider Germany is amost at par with China exports in PLCs and Variable Speed Drives.

Yeah. We believe you stink less than we believe Tim because you are more trustworthy, not.



Make sure you read the article to see I left out "military".

You go too far being more British than British itself, if you know what I mean.

Ibime:
This is basic stuff that should be calculated beforehand by any serious Government. That's why tariffs are specific to products

I also see it this way.
Gen Z and other young voters would be badly hit especially with iphones, pads and laptops.

You are very welcome to believe your own hypocrisy.

Budaatum only needs a rebuttal from a leftist to debunked any claim against them.
With Trump, a rumour is the gospel truth ,including a Photoshop image
Sad.

Say what you will about Newsom but he cares for Californians and goes to bat for us. We don’t worship him and we don’t agree 100% with everything he does. But that’s the marking of a democracy not a cult worshiping system.

People forget that during Covid, he bypassed the federal government to get our hospital workers N95 masks.
Donated ventilators to other states (including red ones) while their governors were busy scratching their heads and propagandizing a disease outbreak.

Largest economy in the USA and 5th in the world for a reason

He cares do much he does not want any illegal deported.
California has been warned .about sanctuary cities. "California officials may be criminally liable under 8 U.S. Code § 1324, which carries penalties of prison time, for facilitating the invasion and harboring of illegal aliens"

It's there. Stop denying the obvious. I can also add that your PM will send the white kids to fight in Ukraine leaving out the immigrants.

budaatum:
So, you admit Pam Bondi is murking around and has not released the Epstein files, but now want to claim the 200 pages in the public domain is the Epstein files?

Have you forgotten you said the below? Hi

Maybe she is murking around, maybe she is playing a long game.
Star witness Virgina Gueffrey posted on Twitter that her car was smashed by a school bus and doctors gave her 4 days to live The photo she posted didn't seem as though she was in car crash, more like someone punched her badly.
Anyway I don't want to speculate You want me to contradict myself . I stand by what I wrote . Pam Bondi should not hoodwink with 200 pages. There are probably hundreds of thousands pages, texts , videos concerning Epstein.

budaatum:
That is not Epstein files! Dump promised to release them, so what's holding him up?

Redacted Ghislaine Maxwell testimony Any dump should also include that.

budaatum:

Read that article , there is more there than I posted.
If Pam Bondi was t murking around she would have also released tbat I stead of 200 pages that are in the public domain.

budaatum:

Faucci hit with criminal referrals in 7 states .

https://slaynews.com/news/fauci-hit-criminal-referrals-7-states-vaccine-deaths/

Fauci.....of Infectious Diseases (NIAID), is accused of committing multiple crimes during and after the pandemic.

The crimes include murder, involuntary manslaughter, negligent homicide, terrorism, and more.

Most of the allegations are related to pandemic-era protocols, such as deaths and injuries caused by Covid “vaccines,” which Fauci.....
The filings include the stories of over 80 victims and families.

The groups say Fauci’s actions caused widespread injury and death.

budaatum:
Release the Epstein files so we can see for ourselves! Your mules1000s don't exonerate dump.

Just because Trump calls me everyday , you think I have access to Epstein files

---Pam Bondi will never release the Epstein files---because Felon 47 will be number one on the list---

---When she was interviewed on Felon 47 propaganda news network over a month now---she said the Epstein files is on her desk---

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NbTF-csBsOA

Further reply. You are being dishonest as usual. Pam Bondi had files on her desk only for her to release 200 pages from what (as she said) was delivered by FBI. Ghislaine Maxwell had been tried in New York, there were thousands of pages that the Attorney there withheld . She gave him an ultimatum and the files were forwarded to her 2 days later. If I'm right at least one person was fired over that.
You left that fact out
Regarding that case , she said there was 250 plus victims . They have to be redacted. If I'm right only a few witnesses have ever testified. If you search here I had posted an unredacted link of Ghislaine Maxwell deposition and of that case. Epstein was a very very sick person , I need not get into details , I might have posted them here before. Maybe I can say Ghislaine procured children ,offered them $200 dollars to give Epstein a nude massage . She used to scour public parks looking for young girls to entice. She joined in many times for threesomes .She paid them and offered them bonuses if they came along with their friends to give Epstein a massage .With him also facing up and engaging in sex with them. Add intimacy gadgets in the mix. The butler or valet evidence in that case was that he was tasked with cleaning up the toys. Sordid shit . Epstein would get 3 or more massages daily from these kids, some as young as 12 dressed in tiny school uniforms. For years that was part of his life.
Ghislaine was jailed for trafficking children to Epstein. Witnesses in that case said she also sent them to his rich friends .People who have never been indicted maybe never questioned at all. They convicted her , although she is appealing as of today.
As to his Paedo island,as soon as Epstein was arrested FBI sealed the island .There was a structure that looked like a cultist temple that's now removed. Noone has ever heard of what FBI raid came up with .. Whether there were video tapes ,bodies,worship shrines, paintings etc , that's still unknown . Ditto his NY home, Florida home and some ranch where he thought he could inseminate women for he had "good genes ".

If the deep state had any evidence of Trump abusing children they would have charged him. They were able to jail Epstein and Ghislaine without touching any other person. Merlick Garland would have obviously tailored the case with the help of Obama judges to only focus on Trumps crimes, if he had any shred of evidence.
Just don't make false accusations about Trump because you don't like him. Epstein was the reincarnation of the devil. A monster predator. There should be very powerful people who never want any truth revealed.
Maybe he was luring his felliw paedos and blackmailing them .Who knows.
Shame on you.

We've been over that here .Trump has a private members club in Florida where Epstein also had a home nearby , Epstein was a member. Trump would obviously know him. Epstein was also well connected,otherwise how do you think he helped Google Billionaire co-founder Sergey Brin to create a special investment account for his children at JP Morgan .
https://nypost.com/2023/07/25/jeffrey-epstein-helped-jpmorgan-land-googles-sergey-brin-as-client/

Or that Bill Gates visited his home, that Epstein tried to blackmail Gates to donate to one cause because he knew Gates was cheating on Melinda and that Melinda divorce had something to do with Gates friendship with Epstein.
Epstein had a lot if rich friends,knowing people who mattered was his business.

Two things.
_Trump kicked him out of all his clubs the moment he knew he had hit on a young girl working at Mar a Lago.
_In the Epstein first case the prosecutor called everyone who knew Epstein for more info. Only Trump responded . The investigator said Trump was the only helpful informant to the case .

It would make more sense if you said Epstein was an undercover mossad agent or that he had worked with FBI as per below to recover stolen funds.
Try harder next time with something believable.

Letitia James. She bought a Virginia house 2 months before sued Trump over exaggerating his worth to obtain favourable loan terms
Let's see about this house. She intended it to be her primary residence as per her power of attorney letter to her joint owner of the said property.
Why it matters
As her primary residence she gets to pay a lower rate. Whether she luved there or not there is big fraud with this
As a New York state official she couldn't have her primary residence in another state by law.
Either she lied to get favourable terms or if she didn't she should not resigned as the AG . Her prosecution of Trump us thus voided

Democrats accusing you of exactly what they do.
List too long now

Letitia also purchased a home . Declared it was a four unit owner house plus rentals instead if it's actual five. This allowed her to get favourable terms. I had highlighted this a few weeks ago.

She knew where to look for anything to bankrupt Trump. Probably thought Trump would die in jail and nobody would ever investigate her, she is also a black woman Incase you've forgotten
So much dirtbags for Trump to indict.

bemeruca:
Yeah, Obama knew kamala is full of shit. Biden knew she was a potato. What a sabotage from the Oldman

She got 73 million votes don't forget. Mitchell would have eaten a good chunk off Trump's voters.
