7 things every Linux beginner should know before downloading their first distro

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I can still remember the moment I switched from Windows to Linux. Back then, I didn't have anyone there to tell me what to expect. It would have been nice to get even a bit of advice from someone with Linux experience in the know to say, "Hey, you'll want to know about this before you start down that path." It would have made things easier. Instead, I took just dove right in, hoping I could figure it all out as I went. The good news: Linux today is n

Wispr Flow is an AI that transcribes what you say right from the iPhone keyboard

This is a bit of a gimmick, but it’s also kind of cool. I didn’t type a word of what you are about to read. I dictated everything in this text into Wispr Flow, a cool dictation keyboard I have been trying for a few weeks. Here’s how it did: warts and all, with no hand-made corrections. When Whisper contacted me to pitch their Speech-to-Text AI keyboard, I was a bit skeptical. Even Apple has tried to deliver a native dictation punctuation feature, but it’s proven quite hit or miss.

Daniel Grizelj/Getty Images Large language models (LLMs) handle many tasks well -- but at least for the time being, running a small business doesn't seem to be one of them. On Friday, AI startup Anthropic published the results of "Project Vend," an internal experiment in which the company's Claude chatbot was asked to manage an automated vending machine service for about a month.

Auth for B2B SaaS: it's not like auth for consumer software

Auth for business software (B2B) shouldn’t look the same as auth for consumer software (B2C). In many cases, it actually can’t work the same way. I’ll cover three important buckets of differences between B2B auth and B2C auth: Logical isolation and tenancy models Priorities and trade-offs Protocols and features By the way – let’s use auth loosely here and let it subsume related stuff like user management.

Without the constellation of five orbiters, the agency would not have been able to land its rovers on Mars or guide them through its terrain.

Just weeks after extending the deadline for its sale for a third time, President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he has found a buyer for TikTok’s U.S. operations. The popular social media app has been under intense pressure due to a law passed in 2024 that requires its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform or face a nationwide ban.
