6 Ways Mr. Robot Is Putting Linux in the Public Eye

Whether you’re a novice, seasoned Linux pro, or something in between, here are six awesome times Linux appeared on the show.

Search & Rescue: SD Card Recovery

My old camera, a Canon EOS 300D is an old digital SLR camera, and it works really well and still takes a good picture. But last night I turned the camera on while on the train, and to my horror the camera crashed and became unresponsive.

Market share for browsers, operating systems and search engines

Net Market Share bases its data on the number of visitors to a mere 40,000 websites globally. While 40,000 is a fairly big sample on one hand, it’s also minute compared to the number of actual websites that are out there.

Google Online Security Blog: Disclosing vulnerabilities to protect users

After 7 days, per our published policy for actively exploited critical vulnerabilities, we are today disclosing the existence of a remaining critical vulnerability in Windows for which no advisory or fix has yet been released. This vulnerability is particularly serious because we know it is being actively exploited.

Aspyr + Linux Gamers = Cookies

This has led more answers on the same thread on the linux_gaming subreddit, where folks got together to order a delivery of delicious cookies to motivate Aspyr to support Linux’s Civ6 port. They come from Tiff’s Treats in Austin, in case you want to make sure you get excellent cookies if you pass by the area.

New MacBook Pros and the State of the Mac

The new MacBook Pro has a premium price for a Mac that’s still limited to 16 GB of RAM, has CPU performance that is likely lackluster because Apple didn’t talk about it in the keynote, and apparently doesn’t have such a great GPU, either. Apple prioritized thinness and lightness, which I care about hardly at all. I would rather have better performance, a good keyboard, more storage, a larger display, more ports so I don’t have to carry dongles, an SD card slot, etc. Double the weight and half the battery life would be fine with me. I’m not saying Apple shouldn’t make thin and light notebooks, but why do they all have to be that way?

Daring Fireball: Apples vs. Oranges — Thick, Heavy Oranges

There is a catch. The 15-inch Oryx Pro is 1-inch thick and weighs 5.5 pounds. The new 15-inch MacBook Pro is 0.6 inches thick and weighs 4 pounds. I’m not slamming the Oryx here — there are plenty of performance-hungry Mac users who wish that Apple made a MacBook this thick and heavy if it meant they could install up to 64 GB of RAM and had all the ports they wanted built-in.

The true reason the MBP doesn’t come with ddr4 or 32gb of ram, more technical then you think.

The true reason behind the lack of 32 GB or DDR4 is Intel. Skylake does not support LPDDR4 (LP for low power) RAM. Kabylake is set to include support, but only for the U category of chips. So no LPDDR4 support for mobile until 2018 I think.

One example is the Dell XPS 13. On the Dell XPS 13 version, you cannot go for 32 GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the 15 inches does give you that option, but you have to sacrifice battery life for it.

Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller, in an email to MacRumors reader David, explained that for Apple to make a notebook with support for more than 16GB of RAM, it would have to use a memory system that consumes too much power. Regarding price, Schiller said in an interview that affordability is “absolutely something we care about” but that the company designs for experience rather than price.

I was really disappointed with today’s Apple event. It seems like Apple has either lost its way, that it has lost touch with what (some of) its customers want, or that it simply doesn’t care about those customers. Developers are a captive audience, and creative professionals can switch to Windows, I guess. Apple no longer considers them core.

There’s nothing particularly wrong with what Apple announced. I like Thunderbolt 3. The display looks good. I’m not crazy about Touch Bar, but it does seem potentially useful. The problem is that the MacBook Pro is not a true Pro notebook.

A fart app for the new Macbook Pro’s Touch Bar. I’m usually the first one to make a fart app when the opportunity presents itself, so why not?

A Fireside Chat with Greg Kroah-Hartman

Fireside Chat: GKH Talks Licensing, Email, and Aging Maintainers

The Keynote Fireside Chat at ELC Europe, held Oct, 11-13 in Berlin, focused primarily on two issues: whether older kernel maintainers should hand their jobs over to younger developers, and how to best bring open source scofflaws into compliance (see below). Meanwhile, here are a few other edited quick takes from GKH about issues ranging from patch review technologies to the role of Linux on microcontrollers.

Pre-Show

Nicky isn’t outwardly remarkable in any way. She’s a thirtysomething who decided to go back to school later in life than most. She spent six years in the Navy until she decided a job offer from an old friend would be a better bet than a career in the armed forces. That happens a lot in any of the post-war military service branches. It was at that job where I met her. She was the regional manager for an eight state trucking broker and I was driving for a meat packing outfit in Dallas.

Let’s start with the Uni__ty Launcher support, as it would appear that KDE Plasma 5.6 will borrow the Unity API from Canonical’s Ubuntu Linux operating system to implement support for app notifications in the Task Manager. For example, the Chromium web browser will display the download progress.

What’s Remix OS for PC? Remix OS for PC is built on the Android-x86

This is an alpha version intended for developers and early adopters who don’t mind a bug or two.

Android was designed for touchscreens and as there isn’t a touchscreen on most PCs, we want you to be aware that apps may perform differently. We’re asking for developers and testers to help us optimize Remix OS for Android PCs.
Join our Google Group for further discussion or give us your feedback here.We read all your messages and feedback but will not be replying to most due the volume of the feedback.

Remix OS—a multitasking, windowed Android OS—can now run on your PC

We tried Remix OS at the end of a recent article that looked at Android on the desktop. The OS definitely proved nicer than vanilla Android with a mouse and keyboard, but just like with Android tablets, the biggest software weakness is app support for the new environment. Remix actually comes out a little better here, since if you get stuck with a phone app, you can usually just shrink it down to a phone-sized window.
