Chapter 243: Borrowing
Speaking of which, Atletico Madrid can have such a fixed attitude, on the one hand, he also cracked a lot of copycat software when he started himself, and he has long had the consciousness of "coming out to mix it to be returned", on the other hand, it has been cracked too many times, and there are too many lice and it is not itchy, so he has long been used to it.
Sometimes Atletico thinks that maybe the manufacturers of mobile phone software and games that he "forcibly transplanted" into Bee OS before may also be similar to lice and more bitten numbness, right?
Relatively speaking, the situation of bee software being cracked is better, although now bee has also introduced a lot of conventional programming power, but the core plug-in modules and the like are always maintained by Atletico Madrid, and it is difficult to be cracked and directly ported to the code. Even if there are imitators who abuse Bee's plug-in module, it is easy to spot and deal with. The situation of various small electronic devices launched by Bee Electronics is much more serious than copycats, except for the light cat and the power cat, there are not many copycats, and other hardware products have a large number of copycat copies.
This is because the VLC light communication module of the light cat and the power modulation module of the power cat are specially customized chips by the bees themselves, and others cannot easily imitate them, while most of the components of other products are basically purchased from third parties, to put it bluntly, they have not mastered the core technology, and it is no wonder that others have bought the same hardware according to the map to grab business with you.
It's like the little overlord learning machine that was once a smash hit, and invited the big-nosed dragon to be the spokesperson, but in the end, it turned out to be cheaper than a lot of copycat manufacturers, and various brands of learning machines and game consoles emerged in an endless stream, selling tens of millions of units. This is because the Xiaobawang learning machine itself is a copycat Nintendo FC game console, and FC does not use any core technology, in order to reduce costs, a large number of general technologies are used, and the result is that they are easy to be copied, and the copycat is also easy to be copied.
The Nintendo FC uses a low-cost 8-bit CPU Mostek6502 that was launched in 1975 with a clock speed of 1. 8MHz, when Intel8080 sold for $149 that year, and the 6502 with better performance was sold for $25 a year later, causing a wave of low-cost computers in the United States, especially Jobs's Appleii computer is the most famous. At that time, the first generation of applei was assembled by Jobs by hand, without a chassis or monitor, and later it was a computer store that found a carpenter to equip it with a "very classical" handmade wooden chassis. It was not until Gen 2 that a plastic case was introduced, and to reflect its ability to display color images, the Apple pattern on the case was painted with rainbow stripes, which then became the new logo of Apple computers until early 1998.
In fact, 6502, a low-priced CPU, was sold all the way to the 21st century because it was cheap enough, and many of the various black and white screen electronic dictionaries they used when they were in middle school used 6502CPU.
Although the 6502 used by the FC has undergone some improvements to enhance the performance of the game, the technical difficulty is not great, so when Nintendo rushed to enter the Asian market outside Japan with the Hong Kong version of the FC, it found that there were pirated FCs everywhere, and the internationalization of FC was stopped. By the time the next generation of SFC arrived, Nintendo no longer dared to use general-purpose CPUs, and the piracy of SFC really disappeared, and occasionally pirated copies were also modified from scrap machines.
Because the production and sale of game consoles are prohibited in China, domestic piracy, or FC compatible machines, have been added with a keyboard, which is called "learning machine". In fact, this is an "advanced experience" learned from the United States. In 1983, the "Atari Shock" broke out in the United States, and a large number of garbage games on the American game console giant Atari ATA Day 2600 game console made consumers no longer willing to buy game consoles and games, resulting in a huge blow to the video game industry, which led to the later rise of Nintendo FC. After the impact of Atari, various learning machines appeared in the United States, and later this concept was also introduced to China and carried forward.
Although 6502 is not used in the electronic products produced by Bee, the large number of ARM series processors used by others is also easy to obtain on the market, which makes the hardware consistent, the appearance is consistent, and even the firmware software is also used in the so-called "Bee Compatible Edition" products of the original Bee in an endless stream, which greatly compresses the profit margin of Bee Electronics.
Many of those cottage factories are three nos: no brand, no address, no license, and the products produced are all three nos: no brand, no contact information, no after-sales service, even if you want to report, there is no way to complain. The most annoying thing is that some of them use fake blue and white bee trademarks, but some of them dislike that the bees are not famous enough, so they actually find Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and other more famous trademarks to paste, and make Atletico Madrid angry and laughing: "Your sister! Since you look down on our brand, you will go directly to the pirated copycat Nokia and Motorola!"
Fortunately, the mold opening of new bee electronic products is arranged by Atletico Madrid alone, and there is no need to fake hands, and it is completely a private model. The appearance of the parts created by the private mold can be very unique and more recognizable. After realizing that there are a large number of copycat compatible machines on the market, Bee Electronics has embarked on a strange road, designing the appearance of new products and now scanning the market to determine the appearance of similar products and similar parts, and then redesigning their own appearance to ensure that it has a very obvious recognition, and then open the mold for production.
In this way, the appearance of Bee's genuine products will become unique, even if there are still a large number of pirated copycats on the market, at least consumers can see at a glance which one is genuine through the special appearance.
However, this can only cure the symptoms, and cannot be eliminated, and even for some users who are not very online, the shape is slightly strange, and the genuine bee that has not been heard of will be considered fake.
Fortunately, Bee is essentially an Internet company, she makes money by selling services, it doesn't matter if the hardware is sold or not, the key is to cover as many users as possible, as long as the users are circled, one day they will be able to collect money. It's like XP being pirated like crazy, Microsoft is not in a hurry, and it wasn't until the last year or two that it began to engage in the WGA black screen program, urging users to pay for the Windows they are used to.
Bee doesn't have to use the method of modifying desktop wallpapers like Microsoft to urge individual users to use the genuine version, and the real profit point of bees is still in various online services. While most online services are not very profitable except for online games, they can rely on built-in ads to monetize traffic and contribute revenue.
For example, the bee has an electronic weighing spoon called "The Hand of the God of Food", and the name of the second is also to echo their slightly strange shape, the God of Food spoon does not use the simple and symmetrical design of ordinary spoons, but is made into a simulated spoon-shaped human hand, which is divided into left and right hand versions corresponding to the left and right handers. The delicately designed spoon head has a special curve, making it more convenient and comfortable to use than ordinary spoons.
The spoon comes with a weigh module that measures the weight of the contents of the spoon and displays it on the LCD screen on the handle of the spoon, making it easy to control the amount of spices while cooking. The real power of this spoon lies in its ability to access recipes and recipes online. Through the built-in Bluetooth module, the spoon can obtain a series of preset data from the "Bee Eater" software running on a PC or mobile phone, saving users the trouble of frequently flipping through recipes.
The Bee Eater software is free, so copycat users can also use the software, so that bees can earn money by providing them with value-added services or advertising. And you can also use this platform to collect feedback from a wider range of users in order to improve your own products.
For example, many people find it very convenient to use it to weigh medicine when doing chemical and biological experiments, and many laboratories have purchased this weighing spoon as experimental equipment. Of course, none of the spoons they purchased were the original bee version, after all, experimental spoons require corrosion-resistant materials and higher weighing accuracy. After realizing this market, Bee Electronics immediately took action and launched the "Bee Alchemy Spoon", which uses anti-corrosion materials to make a variety of replaceable spoon heads, and at the same time launched the supporting software "Bee Alchemy Master", in which users can enter the experimental plan, so that they can easily obtain the name and weight of the next drug to be weighed through the injured alchemy spoon, or simple prompt content such as "80C water bath for 30 minutes".
Well, the alchemy spoon does not use the palm design of the ordinary version of the God of Food Spoon, but refers to the Da Vinci manuscript, using a lot of cylindrical ring structure, creating a rather retro sense of steam technology, and these cylindrical ring structures are not just decoration, by disassembling them, it is easy to replace different models of spoon heads.
There is no doubt that this design was quickly learned by other manufacturers, although the appearance is slightly different, but the functional principle is really the same. For this situation, bees are used to it up and down, after all, laboratory equipment or something, in addition to the irreplaceable big brand unique products in this line, most of the equipment and consumables are sold by salesmen after all, and only rely on the network to sell bee alchemy spoons, but it is not surprising that there are salesmen to come to the door.
"It's good that we still have software and online services," Atletico said so comfortingly.
Although there are some "regular" manufacturers for their copycat products with exclusive supporting software, but there are always a few, the vast majority of copycat product manufacturers are too lazy to do this, even if they do, it is only to modify the skin of some bee supporting software, change the name and background picture, etc., through the built-in upgrade interface will eventually upgrade to the official original version of the bee.
However, the bees have recently discovered a new way to change their skins, and the whimsy of the other party has really stunned the bees' product managers who think they have been through the thick and thin.
Last year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized a bidding to solicit bad network information filtering software, anti-pornography experts and flower season Internet management software won the bid, the former is image recognition filtering software, and the latter is text filtering and permission management software. Under the instruction of the directors, these two software, which were originally unrelated, were forcibly combined to form the green tyrant. The state financed 41.7 million yuan to buy out its one-year use rights, and in April this year began to provide free use to primary and secondary schools across the country, requiring local education departments at all levels to designate special personnel to be responsible for this work, to ensure that the computer terminals networked by primary and secondary schools can be installed and run the green Internet filtering software.
This software originally had nothing to do with bees, and Bee did not participate in the bidding of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology last year. Although Bee has a deep technical accumulation in anti-pornography and anti-violence, the content filtering engine used in the free space of the garden network and the fishing net search has been slightly modified, and all the functions required in the tender can be perfectly realized by changing the form of the local client, but considering the degree of trouble in dealing with the official master, and the ultimate use of this software, Bee directly gave up without bidding, and has forgotten about this matter, until a new situation has appeared recently.
However, recently, the operators of the fishing net search found some abnormal access requests in the background data, all of which were image URLs without exception, and the content of these pictures was relatively "yellow". Through tracing the source, it was found that although these abnormal access requests came from all over the country, they were all sent by an Internet management software called "Green Dam".
It turns out that although Luba has the ability to regularly capture screen content, automatically identify picture content, and counter pornography and violence in real time, the performance of its image recognition engine technology is not good, and the images that have nothing to do with the color blue such as yellow bikachu and athletes in swim trunks will also be intercepted because of the yellowish color. It just so happened that last year Bee officially released the fishing net search engine,Somehow its unique image search function was noticed by the two production companies of Luba,In order to improve the accuracy of Luba's anti-yellowing,They have a built-in pre-review module in the Luba program,By intercepting the IE cache,Grab the html file inside,Find the address that can be sent to the image search of the fishing net,If the return value is "According to relevant laws, regulations and policies,Some search results are not displayed" , then block the corresponding image or even the entire web page. It is equivalent to using the fishing net image search as an additional pornography detection engine to enhance the accuracy of the identification results and avoid most accidental kills. But they won't give a penny of the $41.7 million in government procurement money to the bees.
This will of course lead to a decrease in the speed of opening web pages, but you can avoid the impact of commonly used regular websites by adding a whitelist, as for the fishing net search that is used as a wedding dress, who cares? Anyway, your search engine service is free and public, and it can be used to help minors prevent being polluted by very pornographic and violent things.
Besides, this can also help you increase your market share, and the PV (page views) have skyrocketed several times this month.
Even if the bees are really ignorant and look for trouble, the magical type of work such as temporary workers is not only a specialty of the axe department, but also a lot of commercial companies, such as interns, probationary employees, and former employees who have left the company and have not yet settled the procedures.
Things are indeed as expected by the green tyrant, and the bee network, which was taken advantage of and suffered a loss, did not react at all, and seemed to acquiesce to this borrowing.
However, Atletico and the bees under his control have never been easy targets to be bullied. The green tyrant has miscalculated, they should contact the Lionheart Antivirus, Soracle, and 720 security guards who are also in BJ, and they will tell you that bees have poisonous needles behind their tails!
In fact, the bees did not react because they were silently assessing the impact of this borrowing on the bees. If the impact is positive, then it is not impossible to continue to cooperate, and even open the fishing net API for the green master, or cooperate with it to produce a green browser for minors.
However, if the impact is negative, the bees can attack and retreat at any time without pretending not to know, and they can turn the table at any time to block the search request of the green tyrant and clear the relationship.
At first, Luba was only installed in primary and secondary schools, as well as in departments such as the Education Bureau, and it did not have much impact on bees. However, in May, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announced that PCs produced and sold nationwide after July 1 this year should be pre-installed with Green Ba when leaving the factory to protect minors from the interference of bad information on the Internet. And not only the new factory computers, even the computer city installation and Internet café operating computers must be installed with Luba.
As for the problem of how to pre-install it, it is not something that the masters of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology need to consider. Just as they completely ignore the "Minors are not allowed to enter" plaque at the entrance of the Internet café, theoretically the Internet café with this plaque should not have minors surfing the Internet, just like the grocery store in the shopping mall with the sign "No Selling Tobacco and Alcohol to Minors" really does not sell tobacco and alcohol to minors.
However, everyone understands that these are just decorations, and the copper plaque at the door of the Internet café is just a commodity that the relevant departments are forced to sell, and neither the owner of the Internet café, nor the customer, nor the competent department take it seriously. Otherwise, if the child does not return after a long time, parents will not only be at home and in the Internet café near the school.
In fact, usually only regular Internet cafes with big businesses will strictly enforce the regulations of the Women's Federation, strictly prohibiting minors from entering, but children who do not go home will not lack a place to go, because there are all kinds of black Internet cafes hiding in residential areas. On the contrary, parents sweep the streets to find the Internet cafes that they search for when they see signboards, and they are all regular Internet cafes, and they rarely find their children in them.
As a result, as Luba entered the field of vision of more netizens, its huge procurement cost of 41.7 million a year was exposed, and it fell into the mixed number of "40 million big misses".
"I haven't arranged a wife for me yet, so I first paid attention to the healthy growth of my children, is it a bit too hasty?" Although there are only a few netizens who have actually installed and used Luba, the reputation of this product on the Internet is stinky, and everyone frowns.
This is not the most important thing, some netizens have discovered the relationship between Luba and Diaowang by intercepting IP access records, and the slogan of resisting Diaowang, a technology provider of Luba, has been shouted. Therefore, the phishing search quickly took disconnection measures against Luba, and all search requests from Luba returned the "404" web page without a code.
Bees did this, undoubtedly to the green lord who was besieged and ridiculed by netizens and stepped on it again, after losing the "technical support" of fishing net image search, the recognition effect of green ba immediately regressed to last year's level, and Bikachu and Tian Liang were all unlucky and were blocked by various kinds.
