Hey #IBM we don't buy your #CPU if not the entire source code is accessible!

In addition, Raptor Computing Systems announced it has partnered with US-based Solid Silicon Corporation as its future CPU provider for continued secure, fully open systems and servers, including new OCP and industry- standard form factor offerings with HPC potential. Raptor Computing Systems will be using Solid Silicon S1 CPUs with embedded POWER ISA 3.1-compliant, server class cores as the fully owner-controlled, blob-free successor to its IBM POWER9-powered solutions, with expected availability of systems by late 2024. The Solid Silicon S1 CPU contains an embedded X-class BMC, providing a fully owner-controlled active Root of Trust and BMC stack for all Raptor Computing Systems products using the S1.

PC Fan Controller Works On Most Operating Systems

For better or worse, most drivers for PC-related hardware like RGB components and fan controllers are built for Windows and aren’t generally of the highest quality. They’re often propri…

We caught technicians at Best Buy, Mobile Klinik, Canada Computers and others snooping on our personal devices - Marketplace investigation recorded technicians peeping on personal photos, browser history

Be warned!

When you need to drop off your tech devices for a repair, how confident are you that they won't be snooped on?

CBC's Marketplace took smartphones and laptops to repair stores across Ontario — including large chains Best Buy and Mobile Klinik — and found that in more than half of the documented cases, technicians accessed intimate photos and private information not relevant to the repair.

Marketplace dropped off devices at 20 stores, ranging from small independent shops to medium-sized chains to larger national chains, after installing monitoring software on the devices. In total, 16 stores were recorded. (At four stores, the tracking software didn't log anything, or the stores didn't appear to turn the devices on.)

Technicians at nine stores accessed private data, including one technician who not only viewed photos but copied them onto a USB key.

#MiniOS is a lightweight and fast #Linux #distribution designed for installation on a #USB drive.

A distinctive feature of MiniOS is its modular approach to system configuration, which allows users to add or remove modules as needed. This makes the system easy to use and flexible in customization. Based on MiniOS, you can create your own version of the system by simply and quickly creating the necessary modules with the set of programs you need, creating your own unique #ISO using our utilities. In addition, MiniOS occupies only 350-1660 MB of disk space (depending on the version) and can be run from a USB drive without the need to install it on your #computer's hard disk.

Preserving Floppy Disks

Time is almost up for magnetic storage from the 80s and 90s. Various physical limitations in storage methods from this era are conspiring to slowly degrade the data stored on things like tape, flop…

It's not my profession, but I just had to check an old link that was no longer up to date and came across this site in a roundabout way.
Maybe it's also interesting for one or the other.
If not, just forget it.

MacBook met Linux

Diverse software op mijn MacBook Pro mid 2010 (High Sierra) krijgt geen updates meer. Nog niet meteen een probleem, maar om bij te blijven nu Xubuntu 22.04 op de MacBook gezet. Werkt prima.

Wel wennen aan andere toetsaanslagen, want Linux houdt blijkbaar geen rekening met het iets afwijkende toetsenbord van een MacBook.

Musterklage gegen Druckerhersteller HP

Sperren lassen Gewinne fließen

Von Daniél Kretschmar

Ein US-Gericht geht auf eine Klage gegen HP ein. Dessen Geräte streiken, wenn keine Tinte mehr da ist – auch beim Scannen.
