Runs Linux

The Synthetic Human RUNS LINUX

Sent in by: Craig T
Hi Guys,

I was watching a documentary over here that is forked from a new TV series Humanshttps://www.channel4.com/programmes/humans which follows a world where synthetic Human’s are part of life.

Anyway the show made a documentary to see how far off creating Synthetic human’s we are : How to build a Human https://www.channel4.com/programmes/how-to-build-a-human

They appear to be using Ubuntu to program the robot for speech interaction https://imgur.com/a/bBQos its at about 13:48through the video.

Microsoft SQL On linux is The Real Deal

Now available in a public preview, SQL Server for Linux aims to be full-featured like the Windows edition and a robust, long-term choice for enterprises

Those who wondered what it would be like to run Microsoft SQL Server on Linux now have an answer. Microsoft has released the first public preview of the long-promised product.

Microsoft also wants to make clear this isn’t a “SQL Server Lite” for those satisfied with a reduced feature set. Microsoft has a four-point plan to make this happen.

Microsoft Joins the Linux Foundation

It isn’t about Linux alone

And neither is the Linux Foundation. A lot of the projects Microsoft has been helping under the Linux Foundation umbrella are infrastructure and developer-oriented projects that Microsoft’s user base is interested in using.

Microsoft still has a lot of proprietary software, and it’s going to stay that way

Make no mistake: This move does not constitute a signal that Microsoft is preparing to open-source its key products. The Microsoft Windows kernel, Microsoft SQL Server, crucial parts of the Azure stack, and so on—they are all still strong moneymakers for Microsoft in their current incarnations. You can expect them to remain proprietary for a good long while.

This helps Microsoft help itself

A common theme in discussions about Microsoft’s involvements with Linux and open source is that it’s been a self-serving effort. Over time, Microsoft has found more places where its best interests coincide nicely with those of others—but again, in a pragmatic and transactional manner.

There’s still a lot of room for change on Microsoft’s part

Don’t get this wrong, Microsoft joining the Linux Foundation would have been unthinkable even a short time ago. But it is only one of many possible steps that Microsoft could take.

The Five Dollar Tool That Breaks Passwords

The perils of leaving computers unattended just got worse, thanks to a newly released exploit tool that takes only 30 seconds to install a privacy-invading backdoor, even when the machine is locked with a strong password.

PoisonTap, as the tool has been dubbed, runs freely available software on a $5/£4 Raspberry Pi Zero device. Once the payment card-sized computer is plugged into a computer’s USB slot, it intercepts all unencrypted Web traffic, including any authentication cookies used to log in to private accounts. PoisonTap then sends that data to a server under the attacker’s control. The hack also installs a backdoor that makes the owner’s Web browser and local network remotely controllable by the attacker.

It Turns Out The Btrfs RAID 5/6 Issue Isn’t Completely Fixed

_with headlines like “btrfs RAID5/RAID6 support is finally fixed” when that’s very much not the case. Only one bug has been removed for the key use case that makes RAID5 interesting, and it’s just the first of many that still remain in the path of a user trying to recover from a normal disk failure.

• Subject: Data Privacy Following The Presidential Election

Hey Chris, – this is something I’ve had a lot of people ask me following Trump’s victory, – “should I keep my data in the cloud on services based in the US now that Trump is President?”

I think it’s a valid question, and one worth discussing on LAS or User Error. The general feeling is that infringements on privacy and civil liberties will only get worse in the coming years. Interested to hear your thoughts, more so that you use Dropbox.

• Subject: Touchpad Issue

in Gnome 3.20 (I think) Gnome switched to use libinput over synaptic for the touchpad lib. you need to remove xf86-input-synaptic and install xf86-input-libinput. but you also need to remove the synaptic config file. Forgive me I don’t remember what/where it is. Antergos may still be setting it up with synaptic

Pour one out: The Nexus 7 is finally dead | TechRadar

Want to buy yourself a Nexus 7? It’s not going to happen. Google has apparently given up on selling the 7-inch device directly to consumers, choosing instead to focus on the Nexus 9.

But the bad news is that the larger, newer tablet isn’t hitting the heights the Nexus slate managed during 2013 and 2014, with Google’s earnings call confirming that the tablet isn’t performing as well as its predecessor.

In fact, both the Nexus 9 and smartphone Nexus 6 aren’t selling in the same numbers that Google has hoped they would, with the search giant confirming that the loss of Nexus sales had led to a drop in revenue quarter over quarter.

Uber is bringing its food delivery service to New York City and Chicago | The Verge

An Uber representative told The Verge that UberEats has its own dedicated drivers. Lunch options will range from $9 to $12, while dinner options will range from $10 to $15. The Uber rep said meals come with a $3 delivery fee ($4 in New York City), regardless of the number of meals you order.

How much does it cost you guys to stream a show to one user (video)?
I\’m wanting to sign up for a monthly subscription (one-time donation seems silly if I\’m watching regularly).
I typically watch the new LAS and Tech Snap only. But some days I just want to geek out and background a series while I game or work on a box. After a while I realized this was free to me, but costing the (great) content providers.
So if you could give me an estimate of how much streaming a show (video [via the xbmc plugin]) costs, I\’ll sign up for a monthly donation. Feel free to roll in paying people, utilities etc. I want you guys to profit from my patronage, not simply break even.
Might want to bring this up on a show, despite it sounding like a commercial :/ but I cant be the only one wondering, right?
$5/mo is easier than $60/yr, if that makes sense.
