The first release to be labeled Raspberry Pi OS launched on May 28th, with several new features, including Bookshelf, an app that offers free issues of MagPi, the official Raspberry Pi magazine. You can see the new name in the splash screen at bootup, but you'll still find the Raspbian nomenclature in some parts of the OS, including when you use the cat /etc/os-release command. … [Read more...] about Raspberry Pi OS: Why It’s No Longer Called ‘Raspbian’
Intel Kills Off Core i9-9900K Speciality Dodecahedron Packaging

It can’t really consider HBO Max a success until it’s on the Roku platform. It’s not just the people with the Roku box or Roku stick, it’s anyone who bought a TCL TV and relies on Roku to access their content. If you own a Playstation 4 or an Xbox you could use that, but it’s unlikely anyone is going to buy a gaming console or a Samsung Smart TV just to have access to HBO Max. … [Read more...] about I’m not mad, HBO Max, I’m just disappointed
