    Munich Council: To Hell with Linux, We’re Going Full Windows in 2020

    I have personally used linux for all my desktops/laptops/etc for many years. Linux mint/Ubuntu are ridiculously easy to use compared to most distros in the fast (I though I mostly use arch). Even still, it sounds like your parents are the exception; while most people could use linux if they...

    Munich Council: To Hell with Linux, We’re Going Full Windows in 2020

    I love linux, I really really do. But it's just not great for desktop use for anyone who isn't a in dev or IT.

    Ex-Facebook President: It Was Designed to Exploit Human “Vulnerability”

    See, if I could force myself to use it for only that, I might consider keeping it. As it is, it was a time sync, and a data-mining platform. My opinion now is, if you want to contact me directly, contact me directly.

    Linux Kernel USB Subsystem Has More Holes Than a Donut Shop

    No matter what system you're running, unless it is fully encrypted and off, I consider the system compromised once an adversary has physical access.

    Sell me on windows 10....

    Honestly, eck. It works, but for personal stuff I literally only use it for gaming (I do everything else on linux, so take that for a grain of salt). It is fast, and honestly once support for Windows 7 is gone you won't have much of a choice if you want windows. It is less customizable in...

    What Tool for Automation?

    Yes, Ansible itself is free, but it'll be all cli. If you want the enterprise product, then Tower will cost you a pretty penny. If you want an actual platform, I would definitely suggest Ansible. If you just want scripting, then python and powershell will get you a long way, with the negative...

    GoPro Gets Covered by Lava, Bursts Into Flames, and Survives

    The PC Version of “Doom” Absolutely Wrecks the Competition

    Ahh mannnn, I really wanted to buy a sub-par console (i.e. crappy pc) that has no configurability, upgrade options, or long-term viability. Guess I won't be doing that yet ;).

    Senators Push to Ditch Social Security Numbers in Light of Equifax Hack

    Hah, I was waiting for that one. I hope just for the hell of it someone releases a fake article about everyone getting a big 666 on their foreheads as a replacement for social security ;). But really, It's terrible that it took this long and such a significant event to make this happen, but...
