How to easily add and configure multitouch gestures on Linux

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-02-28 23:28:02

Jack Wallen/ZDNET Years ago, I attempted to configure multitouch gestures for Linux and found it next to impossible. Back then, it was all about configuring with a text file, and the options were cumbersome and confusing. Even with one of the first GUI apps that came along, the results were never promising. Fast-forward to now, and there's a simple-to-use app that makes adding and configuring multi-touch gestures a breeze. That app is called Touché, and it makes customizing touchpad gestures

Data Centers, Temperature, and Power

news.ycombinator.com Stephanie Doyle 2026-02-25 11:42:10

It’s easy to open a data center, right? All you have to do is connect a bunch of hard drives to power and the internet, find a building, and you’re off to the races. Well, not exactly. Building and using one Storage Pod is quite a bit different than managing exabytes of data. As the world has grown more connected, the demand for data centers has grown—and then along comes artificial intelligence (AI), with processing and storage demands that amp up the need even more.
