My new Bible Study computer is now born.
I just built a "new" computer that will never be connected to the internet, using Window 7, with an old copy of MS Office, free from the prying eyes of the deep state. Of course this post isn't coming from that computer, but on this new machine, there will be no need for "updates" and no concern for viruses.
Most importantly, I will be able to run my long lost copy of Quickverse 4.0g Bible software that became impossible to run at one point when Microsoft abandoned backward compatibility. This program is the best program I've ever seen for searching the scriptures.
Anything that goes onto this computer will come and go via memory stick or CD. No network connection at all. We will see how this goes.
How did you do it OP? Built out of modern components or old circuits or a mixture? Very interesting, good post. I heard they’re putting wifi chips or receivers in everything nowadays, for example the voting booths that were supposed to be stand alone were all found to have wifi or cell transmitters in them. I don’t know anything about this stuff but I’d figure anything hardware that’s modern would be able to be tapped into on some rudimentary level. I second that users advice that said build a faraday cage around it
I’m sure you know this as well but for anyone else, memory sticks can catch and upload viruses discreetly which depending on their function could still cause issues for a stand alone unit
