BBC Micro, the ancestor to ARM

ARM-based chips are found in nearly 60 percent of the world’s mobile devices Introducing the “Beeb” – the inventors of the ARM architecture used these machines to simulate and develop chip designs. Those chips are now in every home and business. This particular machine is my BBC Master, plus 5 1/4″ floppy disk drive, and three-button mouse. Isn’t she a beauty?

5 password managers you should use instead of LastPass

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-18 14:00:30

Joe Hindy / Android Authority There was a time when LastPass was THE password manager everyone should be using. That statement still stands, but with one small twist: LastPass is now the number one password manager everyone should stay far away from. The reason for this? Multiple rounds of leaks and a series of security vulnerabilities. Give LastPass a hard pass, because there are so many better options available — ones that are both more secure and convenient — you’ll wonder why you didn’t sw

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority I was never an athletic kid, and that continued through most of my 20s. That is, until I decided to change things up, drop some weight, and focus more on my health. Intermittent fasting was a big part of that journey, and I’ve been following it for several years now. In fact, it’s the one constant in my wellness journey that has actually stuck with me.

Toothpaste Made From Hair Works Better Than Fluoride, Scientists Say

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-11-18 05:00:15

Looking for an effective, sustainable toothpaste? It might be on top of your head. Scientists have discovered that keratin, a protein found in hair, skin, and wool, can repair tooth enamel and stop tooth decay. It might also protect teeth even better than conventional fluoride-based toothpastes, stopping tooth decay in its tracks, according to a new study. When keratin comes into contact with saliva, it forms a protective coating that mimics natural enamel, the study shows. Not only can it shi

Starting today, AstraZeneca’s FluMist is available through an online pharmacy in 34 states. FluMist is not a new vaccine.

Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux

news.ycombinator.com Mark Stosberg 2025-11-17 22:00:04

On Linux, Control-C and Control-V don't work for copying and pasting in terminals. The Control modifier is used for its original purpose of inserting control codes. Instead, terminal apps require an extra Shift modifier, like Control+Shift+C. But what if there were hidden shortcut combos for copy and paste on Linux that work across most apps without adding any additional software or configuration? By the end of 2025, this will be the case, and many apps already support them. Here's the scoop!

Funding Open Source like public infrastructure

To protect the digital foundation of essential government services, governments should invest in Open Source as public infrastructure and shift from consumption to contribution. Fifteen years ago, I laid out a theory about the future of Open Source. In The Commercialization of a Volunteer-Driven Open Source Project, I argued that if Open Source was going to thrive, people had to get paid to work on it. At the time, the idea was controversial.
