Analog vs Digital: Complete Guide to Definitions, Differences, Comparisons, Examples, Pros and Cons

Image
Analog represents information in a continuous, smooth way - just like the real world. It feels natural, but it is vulnerable to noise and distortion. Digital , on the other hand, stores and transmits information by converting it into numbers. Some fine details may be lost, but the big advantage is that the quality does not degrade even after repeated copying or long-distance sharing. Introduction Today, I couldn’t sleep late at night (ㅠㅜ), so I decided to write a glossary-style article as a side topic: Analog vs Digital . Analog and digital are the two fundamental ways of representing information in nearly all technologies we use today. Whether we’re listening to music, watching a movie, reading a thermometer, or driving a car, both analog and digital are working around us at every moment. But when someone asks, “What’s the difference between analog and digital?” most people answer simply: “Analog is continuous, and digital is made up of 0s and 1s.” In this article, I’ll expl...

What is the Linux Operating System? | Differences from Windows, Open-Source Server Use, Features, Pros and Cons, History, and Its Meaning Today

Image
 Linux, created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, is an open-source operating system that is free, highly stable, and secure. It is widely used in servers, supercomputers, and smartphones (through Android). For everyday users, Windows is often enough. But for those who want to study computers in depth or pursue IT, learning Linux is an invaluable step. If Windows symbolizes popularity and convenience, Linux is the invisible foundation that supports the internet and modern IT infrastructure. Hello, this is Jay. In the previous article, we explored the Windows operating system. Today, let’s take a closer look at Linux. The Linux Mascot : Tux Among the operating systems we encounter today, Linux is always mentioned alongside Windows. Linux may not be as visible, but in reality, it is one of the most widely used operating systems in modern society.

Complete Guide to Operating Systems | OS Basics, How They Work, Multitasking, 32-bit vs 64-bit, Windows, Linux Overview

Image
An operating system (OS) is the core system that connects a computer’s hardware and software, efficiently managing resources such as the CPU, memory, and storage. It provides users with both console and GUI environments, allowing anyone to easily communicate with the computer, while also supporting multitasking so multiple programs can run at the same time. There are various kinds of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android. Each has its own characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages, and is used in both PC and mobile environments depending on those traits. Hello, this is Jay. In the previous series, we looked at the physical structure of computers. This time, we will examine the operating system.

The Ultimate Motherboard Guide : What It Is, How It’s Built, Chipsets, Generations, Brand Landscape, and a Pre-Purchase Checklist

Image
Hello again - this is Jay. In the last post we covered the PSU. Today, let’s wrap the “core parts” series with the motherboard - the stage where CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, and PSU come together and actually perform. What Is a Motherboard? Photo by Matveev on Pexels A motherboard is the computer’s central circuit board . It connects every component, routes data and power , and exposes sockets, slots, and ports so the whole system can function as one. Think of it as a theater stage : CPU = lead actor driving the story GPU = special-effects crew (lighting, visuals) RAM = stage manager handing props instantly SSD/HDD = archives storing scripts, scores, and blueprints PSU = lighting booth / generator feeding stable power Motherboard = the stage that lets everyone perform in sync No matter how great the actors, there’s no show without a stage. Why the Motherboard Matters 1) The Foundation of Performance Strong VRM (power delivery) keeps high-end CPUs/GPU boos...

The Ultimate PC Power Guide (PSU) : Wattage Sizing, Efficiency Ratings, ATX Standards, and Brand Pointers

Image
A power supply isn’t just a box that sends electricity - it’s a critical component that protects the stability and lifespan of your entire PC. To build a reliable system, you should check efficiency certification , the latest ATX standard , protection circuits , and brand reputation . Choosing a quality PSU with comfortable headroom reduces heat and noise and leaves room for future upgrades. What Is a Power Supply (PSU)? Photo by Andrey Matveev on Pexels The PSU (Power Supply Unit) makes sure every component gets the right kind of power -  stable voltage and current at the right rails. House analogy: Like a home’s breaker panel , it converts AC from the wall into clean DC and distributes it to the CPU, GPU, motherboard, drives, etc. Car analogy: Like a fuel pump  -  no matter how good the engine is, if fuel delivery is unstable, the car stalls. Likewise, a poor PSU can cause crashes or even damage parts. Bottom line: the PSU is the hidden foundation of...
