4. jqs.exe - uses about 1.5 Megabytes of computer memory and 2 Megabytes of virtual memory while running. It also initiates I/O processes frequently if those columns are activated in the Task Manager.

Now, if you want to disable the Java Quick Starter process you can do that in the Windows Control Panel. You find a Java entry there which will open the Java Control Panel.

A click on Advanced and the selection of Miscellaneous will display the activated Java Quick Starter entry. Uncheck the box to disable the process. This will be visible in the Windows Task Manager immediately.

Conversations with Grok (Part 1): Introducing Agile Transportation System

Me: What do you think of agile Transportation System? Grok : It seems like you might be referring to "Agile Transportation System." Did you mean a specific system, like a company, a concept, or something else? I’ll assume you’re asking about agile transportation in a general sense—like how agility applies to transportation systems—and go from there. If I’ve got it wrong, just let me know! Agile transportation typically refers to a flexible, responsive approach to moving goods or people. Think of it as a system that can quickly adapt to changes—whether that’s shifting demand, unexpected delays, or new tech. In practice, it’s about efficiency and speed without sacrificing reliability. For example, logistics companies might use real-time data to reroute trucks around traffic, or cities could tweak public transit schedules based on passenger patterns. It’s all about staying nimble in a world where disruptions—like weather, supply chain hiccups, or even pandemics—can throw a wrenc...

Conversations with Grok (Part 3): Partnership Ecosystem and Missing Pieces

Be updated and read the previous part here:  Conversations with Grok (Part 2): Come To Think of It Grok : Haha, got it—CTTOI as “Come to think of it”! My bad for overengineering it into a startup. Let’s roll with that as a fun aside and keep the focus on your idea of a routeless, agile transportation system in BGC, Manila, with Toyota and the partnership crew. I’ll refine the setup without the fictional CTTOI and address your original vibe—proving effectiveness through smart integration. Here’s the updated take. Toyota as the Vehicle Anchor Come to think of it, Toyota’s perfect for this. Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) could supply a fleet of electric vans—like the Lite Ace EV or a hybrid Coaster tweak—built for BGC’s tight streets and stop-and-go traffic. They’ve got the local know-how (their Santa Rosa plant’s been humming since ’88) and a track record with mobility pilots, like their shuttle gigs in Pasay. Toyota handles the hardware: reliable, low-maintenance vehicles that keep ...

Conversations with Grok (Part 5): Let's Talk AI Agents

Be updated and read the previous part here:  Conversations with Grok (Part 4): Turning Startup Me: Next move? Let let you in on a secret. It's not just routeless and hub-less. I'm building these AI agents for a complete overhaul from mass transport to Agile Transportation: Dynamic Route Optimization Agent, Demand Prediction & Load Balancing Agent, Passenger Scheduling & Booking Assistant, Autonomous Vehicle Navigation Agent, AI-Based Traffic Management Agent, Customer Feedback & Experience Agent, Fleet Maintenance & Diagnostics Agent, Smart Fare Pricing Agent, Driver Assistance & Safety Monitoring Agent and an AI-Based Reporting & Analytics Agent. What do you think? Grock : Wow, Movex sounds like an incredibly ambitious and innovative project! You're not just reimagining transportation in BGC, Manila—you're creating a comprehensive, AI-driven Agile Transportation System that could set a new standard for urban mobility. I love the vision of a rout...
