Chapter 255 The sound of wind and cranes (1 more please order)
The American Computer and Semiconductor Association’s statement this time is considered a major event.
It also officially denies the application of carbon crystal hard drives in the computer industry as a storage material for computer information.
This can be regarded as a clear direction for American PC manufacturers.
Carbon crystal hard drives cannot be purchased because the system cannot recognize them when installed on the computer, and the security of your data storage cannot be guaranteed.
To put it more grandly, this is to maintain the security of computer information.
But in fact, this is an interest group using unfair means to protect its own interests.
This news immediately attracted the attention of the American media. After all, some time ago, the release of carbon crystal storage and the research report on carbon crystal hard drives by academic institutions such as Stanford University made the carbon crystal storage technology attract the attention of the US technology industry and media.
of attention.
The New York Times immediately interviewed Misiri, the chairman of the American Semiconductor Association.
"The New York Times": "Mr. Misiri, we have just received news that Microsoft will take technical measures against carbon crystal hard drives and ban the use of the hard drives. What considerations does the Semiconductor Association have before taking such measures? Whether
Because carbon crystal hard drives have affected the profits of member units’ mechanical hard drives.”
Western news media such as the New York Times have often played the role of fake news producers in later generations, but from a neutral perspective, the questions raised by reporters from these media are sometimes very sharp.
The reporter directly asked the Semiconductor Association if it was for profit reasons. This made Misili quite embarrassed.
But Misili is also a veteran, and said without changing his face: "The purpose of our doing this is to maintain the security of user data. So far, we have not obtained any data about carbon crystal storage, and we have no way to determine the security of this technology.
"
Misiri continued: "In addition, as far as we know, there is a large amount of data showing that users will experience data loss, data tampering, etc. when using carbon crystal storage hard drives as data storage devices. Compared with mechanical hard drives, hackers are more likely to
It is easier to hack into carbon crystal hard drives to obtain data."
Missili finally emphasized: "The purpose of our doing this is to protect the user's data security."
Throughout the interview process, Missili used a large amount of data, as far as we know, and a series of yes and no words, to delineate the risk of data leakage in carbon crystal storage.
This method of expression is extremely imprecise and does not conform to the terminology of semiconductor technology.
The computer semiconductor industry is extremely rigorous, especially the semiconductor industry, where data accuracy must be accurate to the nanometer level.
The chairman of a semiconductor association actually used words like "supposedly" to deny carbon crystal storage, which is really shocking.
But this is the consistent style of Americans. After all, others are the makers of the rules.
PC companies such as Dell and HP immediately notified the Xiaguo District Headquarters that from now on, the company and its affiliated agents are strictly prohibited from privately replacing the mechanical hard drive of the PC with a carbon crystal hard drive and then selling it to consumers.
If a dealer does this in private, the dealer will be responsible for any data loss and personal property damage caused to the user.
Yang Qing just breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
The measures taken by the American Semiconductor Association have finally been implemented, which should be good for Lianxiang.
After all, Lianxiang has not signed any agreement with Changtian Technology from beginning to end, nor can it obtain the right to use carbon crystal hard drives.
But thinking that the Windows system would block all carbon crystal hard drives, which would cause the few internationally competitive Xia Guo Technology products to lose a large amount of the market from now on, and even disappear from the entire computer industry, Yang Qing felt that
There is some loss.
But businessmen are businessmen, and men don't do any kind things on the battlefield.
Yang Qing immediately notified dealers at all levels and resolutely prohibited dealers from privately removing the mechanical hard drives of any series of Lianxiang PCs and replacing them with carbon crystal hard drives and then selling them on their own.
In addition, Lianxiang also took this opportunity to let dealers publicize to users that carbon crystal hard drives cannot be protected by the system. After installing carbon crystal hard drives, the computer will cause problems due to lack of corresponding drivers or system technical support.
Unable to run etc.
Microsoft is very fast. On June 20, it immediately upgraded system patches globally.
Most of the users who use carbon crystal hard drives are individual users, and their computers are also installed in their homes.
At this time, some people turned on their computers. Whether they were users of pirated systems or genuine systems, as long as they were connected to the Internet, they all received a message to upgrade the system patch.
The awesomeness of Microsoft is shown.
This upgrade message does not require the user to click on it automatically, and the upgrade will be done online.
Moreover, the entire process cannot be interrupted, the user has no way to click to exit, and there is no way to run it in the background. It will automatically upgrade even after shutting down and restarting.
Judging from this situation, in order to cater to the relevant measures of the Computer Association, Microsoft has spent a lot of effort researching technical information related to carbon crystal storage.
Changtian Technology has been aware of the relevant measures of the American Semiconductor Association a few days ago, but because it does not know what specific actions Microsoft will take, Chen Xiao currently has no corresponding plan.
At this time, the company's technical staff discovered that the WIN98 system automatically updated, and after the automatic update, the computer showed that it could not recognize the hard disk, so it could not enter the startup interface.
Changtian Technology's commercial network speed is much faster than that of users, so users have not been able to upgrade successfully. Changtian Technology already knows the consequences of the upgrade.
The technician quickly reported the situation to Chen Xiao.
"Mr. Chen, Microsoft automatically upgraded the system. After the upgrade, the system cannot recognize the carbon crystal hard drive."
"Our computers with carbon crystal hard drives cannot access the desktop, but computers with mechanical hard drives have no problem."
"Our program engineers are working on it now."
Changtian Technology owns an office space on the first floor of an office building.
Except for the employees at the later stage of the headquarters, most of them are technical personnel from Yuedong Internet.
They understand computer and programming technology. After completing the daily work of Yuedong Internet, they will also undertake the network security and maintenance work of Changtian Technology.
All technicians have been mobilized to immediately analyze the cause of the failure.
Chen Xiao has been at the company these two days, not going to school, just waiting for Microsoft's final resort.
I didn't expect Microsoft to be so fast. The American Semiconductor Association only announced the news yesterday, and today it has patched all systems.
Chen Xiao got up and immediately went to the technical department's office.
Just then his cell phone rang.
It was Wu Jun calling.
Wu Jun felt that he was too careless. He thought that the United States was so far away from Xia State, and Shenship's products were not sold in mainland America. Therefore, the so-called statements and announcements issued by the American Semiconductor Association had no impact on Xia State's Shenship sales.
any impact.
But I didn't expect that several computers at the Shenship headquarters had just been automatically upgraded. Moreover, after the computer was upgraded, it was impossible to enter the desktop, and the displayed content could not be queried from the hard disk.
Shenzhou's technical staff immediately launched an investigation and received calls from at least 10 users to the after-sales hotline.
The problems reported by these Shenship users are the same.
At this time, Wu Jun thought of the statement issued by the American Semiconductor Association, and realized that the American side was serious. This time he became really anxious.
If all computers using carbon crystal hard drives cannot enter the desktop after upgrading the system, what advantages does carbon crystal hard drives have?
On the one hand, Wu Jun asked the technicians to find a way as soon as possible to see if they could avoid this upgrade of the Windows system, and on the other hand, he quickly called Chen Xiao.
Wu Jun: "Did Shenchuan not use the genuine Windows system, which led to Microsoft's retaliation?"
Wu Jun just blamed himself. If it hadn't encouraged users to use pirated systems in order to save costs, Microsoft would not even know the brand of Shenchuan, let alone ban carbon crystal hard drives by upgrading the system.
However, Chen Xiao felt that Wu Jun was overly worried. After all, regardless of whether Shenship used a pirated system or not, Microsoft would also adopt this method to ban carbon crystal hard drives in order to cooperate with the American Semiconductor Association.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Jun said what he wanted to ask most: "What should I do?"
