#the tablet-drill thing he used to create it is standard issue

[random-iz-stuff]

So, like, what's up with Zim's computer? You said the Control brains are like it but with a slightly greater level of sentience. And, like, are directly connected to the database thing. How much access does computer have? To like, the database and stuff. what can it do. What can't it do. Do other invaders get similar computers?

Zim’s computer is one of the closest things to standard issue invader equipment he has. It’s an older model that would have been used during Operation Impending Doom 1, but because Zim took the entire thing down before it could even start, Zim’s computer was never used and got shoved into storage until the Tallest found it and gave it to Zim for Operation Impending Doom 2.

The other invaders have Model 2 base computers while Zim has an old Model 1.

Base Computers are sentient the same way SIR units are sentient. They’re normally incapable of free will and are only capable of using their intelligence on whatever their owner tells it to do, along with keeping the base running smoothly, but are granted free will and unrestricted sentience if the mission is in critical danger.

Base computers are capable of viewing most of the irken database (things like the height chart and most government data is hidden) but they cannot make changes or edit the database like a control brain. Same goes for if an irken plugged themselves into an invader’s base computer. The computer can see parts of the PAK and find things like errors and defects and things that need fixing, but can’t interact with the PAK besides downloading and uploading small amounts of data, like reports or blueprints.

Zim’s computer is also slightly defective. Over time, as it sat in storage, the unrestricted sentence that’s normally only given when the mission is in jeopardy slowly became more available during times when the mission isn’t in danger, and when Zim started using it, it sped up the process. At the start of the series, it had the almost same amount of limited free will that a regular computer would have, just a little bit more than normal, but by the end of the series, it was almost fully sentient at all times.

Model 1 base computers are programmed to recognize when they become defective and purge their own systems when those defects start affecting their efficiency. The invader is then supposed to replace the old computer with a backup. That’s why Zim’s computer suddenly went down during Invasion Of The Idiot Dog Brain. Their access to the emergency free will systems hit the point where a purge was deemed necessary.

Zim didn’t have a full backup computer, but he did have a backup hard drive with a copy of his original computer on it and overwrote the automatic purge system so they wouldn’t delete themselves again, because he doesn’t have another model 1 base computer that he can replace his main one with, so a copy of the defective one is going to have to do.

Real invaders use model 2 base computers, which can detect any defects that they have and automatically fix them with some downtime. No system purge required.

Steve Jobs was conceived in San Francisco, 1955, to two college understudies Joanne Schieble and Syrian-conceived John Jandali. They were both unmarried at the time, and Steven was surrendered for selection.

The plan logic of Steve Jobs was, to begin with a crisp slate and envision another item that individuals would need to utilize. This appeared differently in relation to the elective approach of endeavoring to adjust current models to purchaser input and center gatherings. Occupation's clarifies his reasoning of an imaginative outline.

"In any case, at last, to something this muddled, it's extremely difficult to outline items by center gatherings. A ton of times, individuals don't comprehend what they need until the point when you demonstrate it to them."
