| Can A Monitor Work Without A CPU |

A monitor cannot work without a CPU. The CPU is responsible for sending the signal to the monitor.
The monitor takes the signal and displays it. The monitor will not display anything if the CPU is not sending a signal.
A monitor is a type of computer peripheral that displays images generated by the video card.
A CPU is not necessary for a monitor to work because the video card is responsible for generating the images. The video signals are sent from the video card to the monitor through a cable. Most monitors these days are designed to work with a CPU and will not work without one.

| Is the benefit of China’s zero-Covid policy worth the cost? |

Before Covid-19 vaccines were developed and distributed, China’s strict approach to controlling the virus resulted in fewer deaths and a much lower death rate per million people than in many other countries.
But while these successes were impressive in late 2020 and early 2021, effective vaccines and treatments have become readily available since then, leading the World Health Organization to declare that the end of the pandemic is in sight.
Yet China has maintained its strict zero-Covid regime. While this containment strategy has saved many lives, it has also slowed the country’s economy, exacerbated supply-chain disruptions, and kept millions under lockdown for months. Does the zero-Covid policy pass a cost-benefit test in 2022?
China’s government and many investment banks had predicted that its economy would grow by roughly 5.5% in 2022, on the assumption that Covid-19 restrictions would be lifted.
Instead, China’s economy is now expected to grow closer to 3.3% this year. By reducing the growth rate by 2.2 percentage points, the zero-Covid policy will likely cost China US$384 billion in lost GDP.

I AM not sure whether the two-termed former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad is joking or serious about wanting to become the Prime Minister for the third time.
He has mentioned this on a number of occasions in the recent past.
After the formation of the national Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) coalition which consist of several mosquito political parties, he suddenly thinks that his chances of becoming the PM is a possibility.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Tuesday warned investors to stay the course and weather the turbulent market.
“You have to resist the urge to rent stocks because you’ll get evicted when they inevitably decline in price. Instead, you should be willing to own your favorites that have dividend and valuation protection, and buy more into weakness,” he said.

ISLAMABAD: Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan won six of eight national assembly seats he stood for in a weekend by-election, unofficial results showed on Monday (Oct 17), a vote he has called a referendum on his popularity.
The by-election is the latest twist in months of political wrangling that began before Khan's April ouster via a no-confidence vote, and comes as the nation grapples with the aftermath of devastating monsoon floods that left a third of the country under water.
"He defeats many", trumpeted the front-page banner headline on the Daily Times newspaper, echoing the tone of local media coverage which called it a personal victory for the former international cricket star.

PETALING JAYA: Caretaker Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob does not have the power to write off debts amounting to hundreds of millions of ringgit owed by Felcra settlers, say former opposition MPs.
Earlier today, Ismail announced that Putrajaya had agreed in principle to waive some RM223.8 million in debts owed by Felcra settlers.
In a Bernama report, he said the cancellation of the Felcra settlers’ debts had to be brought to the Cabinet for approval, adding that he hoped this could be done after the 15th general election (GE15).
He also said the government will spend RM191 million on monsoon season aid for 232,319 Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority (Risda) smallholders, with each smallholder to receive some RM600 in November and December.

| “At least 3 criminal offences in Zahid’s fiery speech at MIC general assembly” |

IS UMNO president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi aware that he may have committed at least three criminal offences in his speech at the MIC’s 76th general assembly last Monday (Oct 10)?
Zahid has had seven days to clarify but he has been unable to substantiate the UMNO and Barisan Nasional’s (BN) “declaration of war” for the 15th General Election (GE15) in his speech.
He said:
“Candidates from MIC, UMNO, MCA and PBRS (Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah) have to win in a dominant fashion. It’s now or never. This election is the mother of all general elections. If we fail, our fate will be worse than the last election.
“Right now, only I will be charged, Tok Mat (UMNO deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan), you are on the waiting list, Vicky (MIC president Tan Sri S.A. Vigneswaran) don’t laugh, you are also included. What more (MIC deputy president Datuk Seri M.) Saravanan?
