Need to modify user accounts in Linux? This is the command for you

Trevor Williams/DigitalVision via Getty Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. The usermod command is short for user modification, and, as the name implies, allows you to modify various aspects of a user account. For a Linux administrator, this command is crucial. For Linux users, the command most certainly comes in handy, especially given what it can do. Let's dive down this rabbit hole and see what's what with the Linux usermod command. 1.

Readers still love this legendary Files by Google alternative, but why?

Andy Walker / Android Authority In a recent article I wrote about alternatives to Files by Google, several users mentioned a name I hadn’t heard in ages: Total Commander. Launched back in 2012, the app still has a strong following on Android, even though I remember it best as my preferred Windows file manager back in the day. You all intrigued me, so I installed it on my main phone and started using it as my primary file manager. But is it any good compared to the many alternatives available? I

Grammarly's AI writing assistance tools now work in five new languages

7 Linux terminal basics every beginner should learn first - and why

On a day of rebranding at the Pentagon, this name change slipped under the radar

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday authorizing the Department of Defense to refer to itself as the Department of War, reverting to a more bellicose title used until a 1940s-era military shakeup in the aftermath of World War II. The order approves the Pentagon's use of the Department of War name as an "additional secondary title" for the Department of Defense while the Trump administration seeks congressional approval to officially change the name. Until Congress votes on th

Mark Zuckerberg encouraged execs to do MMA training with him

In Brief Mark Zuckerberg is so dedicated to his mixed martial arts (MMA) training that he invited his senior executives to join him for workout sessions. This amusing revelation comes from Nick Clegg’s forthcoming book. Meta’s former president of global affairs shares the story in what Fast Company unfavorably describes as a book with “thin prose,” save for some “surprising anecdotes,” such as this tale of Clegg sparring with his deputy Joel Kaplan. According to Clegg’s anecdote, Zuckerberg g

Trump’s move of SPACECOM to Alabama has little to do with national security

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that US Space Command will be relocated from Colorado to Alabama, returning to the Pentagon's plans for the command's headquarters from the final days of Trump's first term in the White House. The headquarters will move to the Army's Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. Trump made the announcement in the Oval Office, flanked by Republican members of the Alabama congressional delegation. The move will "help America defend and dominate the high fronti

Compiling Dinner

Compiling Dinner When you read a recipe, you’re already programming. Ingredients are inputs. Actions—chop, stir, simmer—are instructions. The kitchen is your runtime environment, and you, the cook, are the processor. If you follow the recipe to the letter, you get the expected output: a finished dish. Miss a step, and you’ve introduced a bug. Burn the onions, and you’ve hit a runtime error. Seen this way, recipes are languages, and cooking is compilation. ⸻ Recipes as Grammar A recipe might

iOS 26 Beta Brings AI Summaries Back to News Apps, but With a Warning

Apple released the fifth public beta of iOS 26 on Aug. 25, and the beta brings a new Liquid Glass design to the iPhones of developers and beta testers, alongside other updates such as call screening. And developers and beta testers with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone will see AI notification summaries for news and entertainment apps in the latest beta. Apple disabled AI notification summaries for news and entertainment apps in January. That came a few weeks after the BBC pointed out in De

How to Stop Google from AI-Summarising Your Website

Google has introduced AI-generated summaries in its search results—known as AI Overviews—which often pull your content into a snippet that may generate traffic away from your site. While it seems like a "feature," these summaries force site owners into a no-win choice between giving up control or visibility—arguably a dark pattern tactic by Google. To make matters worse, while there are regulatory investigations underway in the EU and UK striving to hold Google accountable, there’s still no goo

An interactive guide to SVG paths

Introduction The SVG <path> element is notoriously tricky. When I first encountered it, I found it totally inscrutable. Its syntax isn’t quite as bad as Regex, but it has the same sort of “what on earth?” vibes. At the same time, <path> elements are also incredibly useful. They’re the only way to create curved shapes in SVG, beyond full ellipses. And once you get the hang of it, they’re actually quite a lot of fun to use! In this blog post, we’ll cover all of the basic commands, including the
