Scratch off the two warranty stickers on the bottom of the PS2 Slim with the tip of the flat-edged screwdriver. In this case, if you read closely, you'll see that Google Cloud has lessened its habitual loss by extending the operational lifespan of its cloud servers by a year, and stretching out some of its other infrastructure for longer.Close the lid of the PS2 Slim. Sometimes, as with the latest financial results from Google/Alphabet, there are details in there that are worth a double-take. Perhaps they result in a small rise in profit here, perhaps a world-record company valuation collapse there (as we saw with Facebook earlier this week), but unless you've just lost the GDP of Estonia from your personal net worth (sorry about that, Mark Zuckerberg), nobody much notices. They do matter but – like the results from a horserace – if you haven't bet any money on them, not very much. We pretend they're important, you pretend to read them. Many tech journalists feel the same way about earnings stories – the financial reports prepared for investors by big companies. Opinion "We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us" is an old joke from the former Soviet Union.
Nobara is basically Fedora 35 plus a whole bunch of extensions: the latest Proton-GE and Lutris, as you might guess, plus installers for AMD and Nvidia drivers, and the RPM Fusion repo of third-party add-ons and extensions enabled. He works for Red Hat, and also contributes to WINE, Lutris, and other projects.
Nobara is a new project from Glorious Eggroll, or Thomas Crider as we suspect his friends call him. If Proton isn't quite current enough, a developer nicknamed "Glorious Eggroll" offers Proton-GE, a cutting-edge build with the latest patches and support. Valve Software's Steam runs on Linux (if not without some glitches early on), Proton can help with running current Windows games, and Lutris with older ones. If you want to run your games on Linux, that involves a bit of extra legwork.
Windows is the default OS for PCs so PC games mostly tend to aim at Windows. It's very new and the website is mostly just a placeholder, but it's already causing controversy. The Nobara Project is a fresh flavour of Fedora 35 aimed at Linux gamers and streamers. There is a general shortage of semiconductor components, not just Wi-Fi semiconductors, owing to the pandemic impacting production in the countries where the chips are manufactured, and this has led device vendors to focus resources on shipping the most popular models. Cisco is one firm that has just introduced Wi-Fi 6E access points with this capability.īut according to Dell'Oro, although manufacturers might have launched Wi-Fi 6E devices, such products are often either not available, or they are in very limited supply. One advantage of this is that compatible devices can be steered to these frequencies, keeping the existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands free for other devices and reducing network contention.
Wi-Fi 6E builds on Wi-Fi 6, itself only a newish standard, by adding support for frequencies in the 6GHz portion of the spectrum. Supply chain woes with Wi-Fi 6E products could see organisations miss on deploying network kit with the new standard and instead wait on availability of Wi-Fi 7 equipment expected next year, says Dell'Oro Group.
