I'm a Linux expert, and here are 6 commands I can't live without

ogeday çelik/Getty ZDNET's key takeaways There are certain Linux commands I consider essential. These commands range from networking, troubleshooting, and file viewing. They're also easy enough for new users to learn. Even though I've been using Linux for decades and am perfectly at home with the command line, I often tell those who are thinking about trying the open-source operating system that it isn't necessary. It's not. Truly. If I wanted to, I could give up the command line altogeth

The ex-CIA agents deciding Facebook's content policy (2022)

It is an uncomfortable job for anyone trying to draw the line between “harmful content and protecting freedom of speech. It’s a balance”, Aaron says. In this official Facebook video, Aaron identifies himself as the manager of “the team that writes the rules for Facebook”, determining “what is acceptable and what is not.” Thus, he and his team effectively decide what content the platform’s 2.9 billion active users see and what they don’t see.

Why There Aren’t Many Ports of Games on Switch 2… Yet

As the industry behind generative AI keeps touting its evolution, Hollywood stands on a precipice to see just who’s going to be first to break ground leveraging the controversial technology in film production (although, reportedly, not for a lack of trying and failing behind the scenes). But for James Cameron, at least, the current will-they-won’t-they approach is untenable—and the filmmaker believes that studios have to start getting a grip with the technology now, before it irrevocably damages
