Tech News
- RedHat Enterprise Linux 8 beta is out.
This has been a long time coming. While waiting I switched to Ubuntu, after using RedHat / Fedora / Centos since the late 90s.
- Asus' Zen AiO 27 Z272SD is a pretty good 27" 4k all-in-one. (AnandTech)
Unless you want to play games, in which case the Radeon RX 580 in last year's Dell Inspiron 27 would stomp the GTX 1050 in the Asus system. The GTX 1050 isn't even a solid 1080p card, let alone a 4k card.
- Microsoft giveth (ads) and Microsoft taketh away (ads) after users threatened to riot. (Tom's Hardware)
Idiots.
- Blockchain voting a lose-lose proposition. (TechDirt)
Ars Technica also took a look at such proposals recently and came away singularly unimpressed.
