Intel has been working for years to enter the high-end graphics card market to compete with Nvidia and AMD, and today those efforts get a name: Intel Arc (not to be confused with Intel Ark, the site you go to when you need help with Intel's indecipherable processor model numbers). Yes, you can run DOOM on them
White flag for the integrated video card?

I wonder how long will it take to your white flag to turn a red flag

On the year of Linux's 30th anniversary, Jack Wallen ponders how the open-source operating system has profoundly affected the landscape of enterprise businesses. Well, we're all running Linux now, aren't we?

Reminds me of ftp.funet.fi (or really any ftp.xxx.yy site, but ftp.funet.fi was one of the bigger). Truckloads of open source code, ten years before Linux.

Interestingly enough I remember hearing that the French government preferred Linux for its users, that was around 10 years ago so it may still be the case.

Dunno about them in particular; but I've seen a a number of cases where a few years after internal IT/Foss advocates succeed in pushing linux to the desktop for an organization it reverts back to Windows/MS Office when the reality of Linux being too hard for Joe Luser and assorted non-technical pointy-hair types results in increased ongoing help-desk costs that dwarf what they saved by not having to pay MS for software licenses.

This change was first announced last year, in July, when GitHub said that authenticated Git operations would require using an SSH key or token-based authentication. Does this mean I have to start posting my SSH key in these blurbs?

Given the amount of private keys people have uploaded to GitHub without understanding what they are I wonder how easy it would be to write a scripted that crawled GitHub and used each of those keys to try log in with the account that uploaded it. I bet some of them will work.

A new study from Yale University has found that common social media features like “sharing” and “likes” are unintentionally training users to act outraged online, the reason being that other users are more likely to engage with posts that are more extreme How DARE you, sir!

It could even be a possibility to be thankfull if it goes a bit slowlier, so we can pay a bit of attention before stumbling because we don't look at the road.

By allowing sandboxed programs to run within the operating system, eBPF enables developers to create eBPF programs that add capabilities to the operating system at runtime. I can hardly wait to see how the hackers will use this one

So did anyone actually read far enough into that opaque mass of blather to figure out what an edBNF is? I'm pretty sure it's not a variant of Boyce–Codd Normal Form where someone decided the original was a little too fishy, but beyond that I'm clueless.

It never did actually expand the acronym to let us know what it means. Even "what it does" wasn't spelled out until after the first comic.
Even on the friggin' "What is eBPF?[^]" page, they don't seem to define it. Finally, found it: Berkeley Packet Filter. Now I know why they're not bothering to explain, it just all makes so much sense.
