The best Mini ITX PC cases of 2025: Expert recommended

zdnet.com Adrian Kingsley-Hughes 2026-04-16 09:00:36

I'm old enough to remember when PCs were huge, looming units. They had to be big to hold all the components that made up a PC. As gaming PCs became a thing, these were even bigger because the high-end components generated a lot of heat. In turn, the heat had to be dissipated with copious amounts of airflow. Thanks to Moore's law, components have become smaller and more efficient, to the point where even a gaming PC can fit into a surprisingly compact case. Also: The best portable power stations

Telephone Exchanges in the UK

For more than a century the telephone exchange has formed the backbone of our telecommunications system. A vast array of more than 5,500 mostly nondescript buildings sit unnoticed on city, town or village streets, and quietly link up more than 254 million kilometres of cables and wires – keeping people in the UK connected to each other and the rest of the world. Since the first telephone exchange was established in London in 1879 with just eight subscribers, these anonymous looking buildings ha

How easy is it for a developer to "sandbox" a program?

news.ycombinator.com In 2026-04-12 10:57:24

# source code sandboxing Sandboxing is when a developer limits available system resources to a program from within its own source code. A classic example is calling chroot(2) to change the root file-system to an empty directory so that the program cannot scribble into the root file-system. int main(void) { /* Program has full file-system access. */ chroot("/var/empty"); chdir("/"); /* File-system root re-rooted in /var/empty. */ int fd = open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY); /* Tried to open /var/empty
