The very first sentence in the article talks about AMD Ryzen taking advantage of DDR4 on the AM4 chipset platform. The only reference to the i5 is a statement that an i5 platform was used to overclock the memory to 4500Mhz. At the end of the article the question is posed as to how much this type of kit will cost while also referring again the 4500Mhz overlocking.
So it's basically awkwardly written article with a summary that is trying its best.
I just wonder why they used an i5 setup for the overclocking and not an i7 (or Ryzen). I suppose there must be some super special i5 only motherboard out there that makes it possible? This should have be explained in the article.
I am debating as to whether or not this would look good on a resume, namely cyber crime\penetration testing type stuff. I would at least find it intriguing. Some of the crimes they committed indicate they were expecting to be released at least in the next few years. I suppose that will no longer be the case.
I worked for a software company who's flagship application, which was medical related, was written entirely in Logo. Apparently, early on someone slapped together some prototyping to show management. Management being management proceeded to dictate that the entire application actually be written in Logo. I could not believe it, yet there it was.
That thread is already so long I doubt it will make it in:
Accidental intruders: Exceptionally curious hackers with a broad knowledge and understanding of how different systems work and interrelate. These individuals thrive on and learn primarily by exploring any and every system they are given access to. These types of hackers do not break into anything that is not there's on purpose, but can easily break security and enter into a secured area without realizing they have broken in.
I wish them the best, no sarcasm attached. But if they can deliver a payload for one million, does that mean we will be able to crowdsource satellites? I mean the price is right, but what about the legal implications.
Okay, so it is a hair over $200. Keep in mind that it is USB C in case you need an adapter. I'm also giving a shout out to the separately purchased mag lock keyboard, it is a thing of engineering elegance:
There is one on Amazon for less than $200. Nice old fashioned BIOS and all. Out of the box it dual boots Android and Win 10, but booting to a Linux installer is trivial. All features work.
I have had the opportunity to use Gnome on an x86 tablet, and it is already there. It's funny, typically I do not like Gnome. But put it on a tablet and it is awesome. Granted, I am speaking as a nerd not a general consumer. Still, if you get the chance you will see what I mean.
I understand that the scanner\home button is tied to the motherboard, but a point of failure that could potentially keep you locked out of your phone, which may also be your business, we need to be allowed options for what is and isn't security on our devices. I like Stack Overflows innovation:
burning down. Trump's wall is burning down, and he lit the fire.
Seriously though, he is already alienated from half the population of the United States. The people he put in position around himself profoundly represent the half that likes him, which is why he put them there. The path he is taking will leave him completely alone even across the populace. He will have nothing but his paranoia to keep him company. The idea of that makes me nervous.
I've been doing some digging into ArcaOS and have found several articles about it going back as far as four years. What I cannot find are screenshots. Every time I find an article with screenshots, the screenshots are of eCommstation. I can't even find screenshots on their website. You would think they would be wanting to drum up excitement with not just a few "look at these features" pre-release screenshot but also a YouTube video to be picked up by tech sites. Maybe they just suck that bad at marketing, but otherwise something does not seem right here.
You pretty much nailed it right there. The last time (and I mean I am never going back, different story) I was in that situation, there was no problem with me bringing in my own kit. I had my own System76 laptop, used Awesome WM, and so on. The key is that I was able to demonstrate that my preferred way of doing things was fundamentally compatible with doing what I needed to do with everyone else. I had to do some hacking to get that done, but that was allowed itself. Okay, so I suppose an environment with thousands of developers working together (???), things may need to stretch a bit, but when you talk of internal dev environments you hit another nail. You are asking for openness that will allow people to use their brains as individuals most effectively while also using their brain effectively with oh so many others. What you need is a voice. What you need is a platform whereby all those different voices can come to a consensus on what can and can't be for work to be effective outside of what the overlords give you under their best intentions. With all that said, you need a voice the overlords will listen to. There, I have no advice.
Open Source has plenty of infighting over belief systems. But this? Say what? We are talking about an excellent developer\contributor. So what if he is into that style of BDSM. So are the adult consenting women. What exactly is Dries trying to communicate here? Intolerance? Is he a Christian? If so, so what. This is the height of dumnfuckery and makes the whole project look bad. How does making the project look bad fit in with values of the project? Because that is what Dries is doing.
Alternative: There is some serious bad blood between the two and Dries is acting like a child trying to find a shred of anything to get rid of Larry and is making himself and the project look bad in the process.
All I can say is that it was Microsoft's latest as of about 2 - 1/2 years ago. I've had a couple Windows phones going back to... if I remember correctly the first Motorola Photon back in 2006 (as opposed to the Photon Q, an Android slider I also had) It was a BlackBerry knock off except much better than the BBs of the time. It was the most readily hackable phone I have ever had. I liked it quite a lot. Now I am just reminiscing.
As a nerd who is insistent on trying out the myriad of this-and-that technologies, I had a Windows phone a couple years ago. It was a fairly high end HTC device. While the interface is unique, the more I began to use it, the more it became obfuscated. It reached a point where it went from fairly cool and useable to finding myself lost on my own phone. Here I speak of the tiles and such. One thing I have noticed over the years, is that the elderly, who expect and do much less with and from their phones than myself, seem to have become the dominate user base. And yes, I do peek over shoulders just to see what platform different demographics are using. For me, Windows phone lasted a good couple months before going back to Android. I do not regret the experiment. But whatever they are planning with this surface phone, it had better be.... different in a good way.
I will say this: I have a Windows 10 tablet. It is running a quad-core Cherry Trail with 4 gigs of ram. Quite simply, it is the best tablet experience I have ever had. It has a "tablet mode", but just using regular old Windows 10 on a tablet is pretty nice.
Disclaimer: I own several tablets and they all have their uses (security cameras, persistent weather info, etc...) but my next favorite tablet is my Amazon Fire. It is simply the best for content consumption. It plays in my shop all day. I do not expect this post to be popular.
I am big on computer history and just yesterday was re-re-re-re-reviewing the history of OS/2. Way back in the day I worked for.........., and was surrounded by IBM mainframes. Cracking one open and revealing the OS/2 Warp workstation inside never stopped being entertaining. I didn't see anything about whether or not it will cost anything to install the OS, but I did see automatic updates referred to as a subscription model. While I would like to run this new incarnation (not paying for it though) just for fun and to see if it has any real world value form me, it will be up to the company to identify and market niche elements they apparently feel are out there for the product to succeed and not the product itself.
Over two and half decades I have used every *nix out there, both open and commercial. That is except for NetBSD. Perhaps it's time I give it a couple months attention. I have not had a serious nerd fix in awhile. Maybe I will find a good reason to put it to persistent use. Any NetBSD users out there that want to give me a heads up on the low down, I would be much obliged. If any such people wonder what I might use it for, consider anything and everything. I'm universal like that.
Some odd years ago I left my phone at my girlfriend's house. It was not locked. She is now my ex girlfriend and I now lock my phone. The texts she ran across were between me and an old lady friend. They were not serious but I see how they were interpreted as such. Live and learn.

Now that sounds like fun. I would buy one just to screw with if I had that kind of money just laying around.

This was awhile back (tablet suffered a catastrophic fall) it was either Ubuntu or Mint.

The world is changing and it is adapt or die. Movie chains and big media seem to have adopted the dying approach.
Those old Mac Minis can be pretty useful. They can found used for pretty cheap, are stackable, and run Linux\BSD.
I am not trying to be snarky here. Along time ago I was a Mac user. Now, used Mac minis are about all I find useful about the platform.

For everyday users, they really need to dump Windows 10 Home Edition, replace it with Windows 10 Pro, then just call it Windows 10.

I say down with Dries. Off with his head.
