"With respect to the tariffs, the situation is dynamic," CFO David Weigand said on the investor call. "We're actively monitoring the tariff environment. We know there's news coming out ne

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-01-20 21:21:00

Kyle Kucharski/ZDNET I've had it happen before. Back when drives consisted of spinning, magnetic platters, that dreaded "tick" was a sure sign a hard drive was failing. Once upon a nightmare scenario, I waited too late and wound up losing everything on my drive. Sure, I could have recovered that data, but at a pretty high monetary cost.

5 command line backup tools every Linux user should use for desktops and servers

Javier Zayas Photography/Getty Images I use Linux for both desktop and server. My preference for a server OS is one without a GUI, which means I have to turn to a lot of command-line tools. In some cases, I prefer to use the same command-line tools for both desktop and server, because it simplifies everything.

Once they build autonomous drones and A.I. weapons for the military, they will have little control over how the technology is deployed. That has led to debates over whether more people will be killed by these advanced weapons than traditional ones, three engineers at Google and Meta said. “These Silicon Valley companies are hyper competitive, and in their drive to get into these defense sectors, there is
