D3Damon/E+ via Getty Images Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways PopClip and SnipDo expand what copy/paste can do.

Typically, reasoning models give you better responses, whether that's more detail or a lower rate of errors. For R

How Container Filesystem Works: Building a Docker-Like Container from Scratch

One of the superpowers of containers is their isolated filesystem view - from inside a container it can look like a full Linux distro, often different from the host. Run docker run nginx , and Nginx lands in its familiar Debian userspace no matter what Linux flavor your host runs. But how is that illusion built? In this post, we'll assemble a tiny but realistic, Docker-like container using only stock Linux tools: unshare , mount , and pivot_root . No runtime magic and (almost) no cut corners. A

Everything You Need to Know About the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse Tonight

Much of the world will get to witness the spectacle of a total lunar eclipse on Sunday night. A total lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun, briefly aligning in a way that completely shadows the Moon. A full moon lunar eclipse happens in three phases. The first phase is the penumbral phase when the Moon starts to enter Earth’s shadow. Then the partial phase begins, when a part of the moon enters the deep part of Earth’s shadow called the umbra. Next is total

Netflix now lets you (almost) easily share clips of your favorite shows

How to See the Total Lunar Eclipse and Blood Moon on September 7

On the evening of September 7, the second (and final) total lunar eclipse of the year will take place—serving up the striking sight of a red “blood moon” in the sky across much of the world.

Pebblebee Is Getting Serious About Personal Safety Tracking

According to The Verge, the Crocs are part of Microsoft's celebration of its 50th anniversary, and are right now only available for preorder by Micr
