I've been using Linux for a very long time, and from day 1, the terminal window and command-line interface (CLI) have been an integral part of my work.At the same time, I've learned that it's OK to have a bit of fun with the terminal window. Over the years, I've done just that.Let me paint a picture.Also: This is the most helpful new Linux tool I've tried in years - here's why and how I use itBack in my early days of using Linux, I had a girlfriend who lived with me. She was in school, and I was busy trying to build a massive Linux community. (Sadly, those efforts didn't pan out -- but that was when Linux was pretty much unknown.) I had set up my home LAN such that I had SSH access to my desktop computer running (probably) an early version of Ubuntu.I also had connected a pair of old-school X11 remotes to lights and could control them via the command line.When my girlfriend was home, I'd often SSH into that computer and turn on/off the lights from the command. I'd also pull other prank...

2024 was a busy year for state consumer data privacy laws in the United States. Seven states enacted comprehensive data privacy statutes throughout the year, and laws enacted in 2023 went into effect in Montana, Florida, Texas, and Oregon. While consumer data privacy laws are still relatively new, we are beginning to see evidence of enforcement in some states and far greater attention and resource expenditure internally from businesses working hard to determine which laws apply to their organizations and what steps are necessary to ensure compliance with similar but sometimes varying requirements across different states.With a number of statutes enacted in recent years already in force, or taking effect in 2025, we encourage any business collecting personal data from consumers to monitor on an ongoing basis which state data privacy laws will (or already) apply to them. We update this State Data Privacy Law Round-Up article on an annual basis and maintain a dedicated website for U.S. St...

The cryptocurrency has performed dismally in the past year.Developer activity has been plummeting.Active addresses have remained stagnant.Things are looking dire for Ethereum.Its price has dropped 60% since December, developer activity and user engagement have declined, and the blockchain faces criticism to its layer 2 scaling roadmap, which some claim has inadvertently redirected value away from the core protocol.The cryptocurrency has also failed to ride the wave of bullishness that coincided with US President Donald Trumps second rise to power, which saw Bitcoin and the broader crypto market secure new records. Ethereum, on the other hand, dropped to just over around $1,400 earlier this week the same level it traded at in 2018. In short, Ethereums position as the backbone of the DeFi ecosystem is at stake.Ethereum is in a tough spot right now, Eric Conner, an Ethereum core developer, said on X.It delivered on the core tech promises: smart contracts, rollups, proof-of-stake, s...
This is the painfully awkward moment Meghan Markle appeared to accidentally ignore a show of affection from Prince Harry as they arrived at the Time 100 summit.The Duchess of Sussex, 43, was supported by her husband at the event in New York City yesterday evening, where Meghan gave a speech opening up about giving herself the 'space and grace to make mistakes'.Harry chaperoned his wife from their private car as she walked in - before also being around to greet her at the end of her stint on stage.As they stepped out of the car, Harry offered his wife an affectionate show of support, and reached his hand out.But Meghan appeared not to notice, instead hugging those who had turned out to meet them, without giving Harry a spare glance - meaning he was awkwardly left hanging and stood behind her with his hands in his pockets.Moments later, the mother-of-two was so busy waving to crowds as she entered the building that, when Harry reached out to her once more, he was again left trailing behi...
