Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET AI has finally started to trickle into the Linux command line. Thanks to the likes of Ollama, this reality is no longer avoidable: it's here, and it's not going anywhere. That's not to say you have to use AI in your Linux terminal, but you can. For those who benefit from AI and often use the Linux Command Line Interface (CLI), the combination of the two can be a very powerful productivity boost. Yes, you can get the power of Gemini AI directly in your

A glass screen protector is one of a few “set it and forget it” purchases that every Switch 2 owner should make, along with buying a microSD Express card and a protective case for the console. In fact, it should be a priority to stick one onto the console’s screen as soon as possible to avoid accidental scratches. I’ve been installing and removing Switch 2 screen protectors to

Using `make` to compile C programs

I have never been a C programmer but every so often I need to compile a C/C++ program from source. This has been kind of a struggle for me: for a long time, my approach was basically “install the dependencies, run make , if it doesn’t work, either try to find a binary someone has compiled or give up”. “Hope someone else has compiled it” worked pretty well when I was running Linux but since I’ve been using a Mac for the last couple of years I’ve been running into more situations where I have to

The bug allows anyone to access the personal data — messages, photos, call logs, and more — exfiltrated from any phone or tablet compromised by Cocospy and Spyic, two differently branded mobile stalkerware apps that share largely the same source code.

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority The era of PS3 emulation on Android is here! To some degree, at least. Android emulation geeks are abuzz with excitement over aPS3e, the first native PS3 emulator for Android phones. Sure, most of the code appears to be cobbled together from open-source PS3 emulation projects like RPCS3, Vita3K, and Termux (probably breaking their licenses), but the fact that it’s working at all is a big step forward.
