From JimStone.is AMD A6 VS A8 Laptops

This is actually important.

(MAY HAVE ADDED THE SNIFFER PROCESSOR IN 2012)

It appears the older AMD cpu's use far less bandwidth online than the new ones do. This would strongly indicate that the newer ones are bugged, but I never got information to prove it. Here's the scenario:

Since the Fukushima report, I worked on the same AMD A6 I bought in 2011 right when I discovered that the Fukushima report resulted in a permanent disaster. I took the cash I had on hand and bought a decent laptop to get me through it. Finally, after almost 7 years of being an absolute battleship, it gave symptoms of instability so I figured I'd replace it.

I bought an AMD A8 that was in the same quality range. I figured I'd give the Microsoft OS a chance, but quickly discovered it was eating 300+ megs a day. THAT was a problem. So I switched it over to Mint, and it still ate just as much bandwidth. The old A6 never ate that much bandwidth. So then I switched to Knoppix, and the bandwidth usage dropped by about 40 percent. I figured I probably solved the problem with Knoppix. Evidently I did not.

Two weeks ago I was looking for a new documentation camera so I walked into a pawn shop that might have one. That pawn shop had gotten ahold of the garbage totally non functioning computers a company abandoned, and they had a few old AMD laptops in the mix. I bought one for about $15 USD, and discovered that the mother board needed to be baked. That's iffy, so I figured I'd go back and get another one so I'd have two chances. The second one was alive, with no hard disc. So I put one of the Knoppix live flash drives in it and BOOM, IT WORKED PERFECT. So I have been using that.

This is VERY IMPORTANT: This AMD laptop is from 2010, and with Knoppix on it, it is eating less than half the bandwidth as the new AMD laptop purchased in 2017, doing the exact same work. How important is that? All you need to do to get the answer is ask one simple question: For what possible reason would the EXACT SAME OS use twice as much bandwidth on one computer as it does on another, when there is absolutely no perceivable difference in performance?

I am not using less "because the one from the pawn shop is slow," it is NOT slow. I can't tell the difference between the new one and this old one. Why would the old one be eating a lot less internet?

Obviously the new AMD processors have back doors in them, and the NSA does not give a crap about how much they increase bandwidth usage because they are assuming things are so fast now anyway that no one will notice. PROBLEM: When you are like me, on a limited connection, having the expertise to actually monitor what the * is going on, it is PRETTY DAMN OBVIOUS.

So I'll get a stack of those computers and start baking motherboards . . . . .

Here is my new computer recommendation:

Though it appears the old A6 did not have back doors, due to the fact that it is quite obvious some A series computers are bugged, to keep it simple, here it is:

Any AMD system produced prior to Amd's A series that at least has a 64 bit processor, 2 gigs of ram, and Knoppix. SECONDARY: Most likely, due to experience with this, any of the original A series computers that were produced up until definitely mid 2012, and probably through 2013. I have no information on when the bugs went into the AMD processors, but it is obvious that they are there with the newer processors because the bandwidth usage I am seeing with an up to date processor proves it. It took the perspective of using an identical OS with a new one and an old one to prove it. SAME FLASH DRIVE, SAME OS, DOUBLE THE BANDWIDTH USAGE WITH THE NEW PROCESSOR.

Fortunately, since Knoppix has no stifleware (it does not get crippled with so called "updates",) old computers run extremely well with it, so well I can't tell the difference, not even with graphics production.
