I use vim on Linux daily so if that was ported to Windows terminal its would be great.

Europe says Adobe's $20B buy of Figma will kill competition
Remember Macromedia
Just look at Adobe history when it last bought out the competition. Macromedia with my favourites at the time Fireworks. Dreamweaver, Flash, Director, Freehand. Out of this list now only using Dreamweaver but we can no longer buy it outright. Adobe has the sole competition on subscription. The question is why is no one competing with Adobe? Because they get bought out.
CentOS Stream 9: Understanding the new Red Hat OS release for non-Red-Hat-type people
I am RHCSA qualified and used CentOS for projects we didn't need to pay for support. CentOS was reliable and stable. These servers are now moving to Ubuntu LTS. RedHat have made a tactical blunder by reducing their client base in RedHat universe and pushing the existing users to other solutions.

Nope, we're stuffed, shrieks Apple channel as iPhone shipments enter a double-digit spiral
Google: We're not killing ad blockers. Translation: We made them too powerful, we'll cram this genie back in its bottle
As Red Hat prepares to become part of Big Blue, its financials look as solid as Linux kernel 2.4
As long as IBM improves on the RedHat Linux offering it will good for both companies. If IBM has any ambitions to offer good prospects for Redhat Linux in the desktop world it could start with getting Adobe to develop it's suite of software for Linux. That will sway a lot of people away from Microsoft.
Most munificent Apple killed itself with kindness. Oh. Really?
I upgraded the battery but not the phone
Last month I took advantage of Apple's battery upgrade for my 6s plus. This was showing as 83% capacity and the new battery boosted standby to 2 days. But the reason why I did that was because the new iPhones have taken away the audio jack and touch id. So why bother upgrading for in my opinion a poorer device. in

Would like to move but cannot
I have been on iOS since 2009 and would like to move to Android but the only think stopping me is the app data which you lose. Android will have the same apps but all the game data is lost and there is no easy way to transfer it. Losing all the hard won coins and other treasures keeps me back on iOS.
Hey, you know why it's called the iPhone X? When you see Apple's repair bill, your response will be X-rated

Smart meter firm EDMI asked UK for £7m to change a single component
What benefit is a smart meter? I have said no and still say no. I am not convinced it is of any measurable benefit to the consumer. To spend £11bn, at no cost to the consumer suggests it is of more benefit to the providers of our energy in the homes. It enables them to regulate, control, ration remotely and we have all seen the press articles warning of looming energy shortfalls with demand for electricity outstripping supply within a decade. Any reasonable person would say no to allowing a third party cut off or reduce power to your home remotely.
Solaris 12 disappears from Oracle's roadmap
Not surprised, we are paying an arm and leg for the annual subscription license.
The biggest advantage for us is the ZFS file system. This is not rock solid on linux, so I would like to see if Oracle are going to transfer their technology code to Linux kernel or whether we should be looking at freebsd.

Lone config file in Mac OS X SIGNALS DEATH OF THE DVD
No quite yet
I only use CD drive for creating music CD's from my playlist, however more and more cars are now going usb or iphone way so my CD/DVD RW will disappear from my computer soon. However I disagree with blu-ray.
I use it extensively for content authoring. Let's face it TV's need a blu-ray player & we are not going to be downloading 25GB or 50GB anytime soon. I see a future for blu-ray well into next 10 years.
