The answer: Stay the course. In an interview, Hicks, who’s been with Red Hat since 2006, said, “[We’ll keep using] the same core fundamentals that we built 20-plus years ago.” Why? Because the combination of Linux, open-source software, and top support, “continues to play in new markets, whether that’s the shift to cloud and cloud services or to edge computing.

The biggest reason? The office politics balance of power has – at least for now – shifted. And that shift has been in favour of the workers, not the bosses. Here’s what’s happening: many knowledge workers have now spent plenty of time working remotely and have proved (to themselves at least) that they can be as effective at home as they are in the office. SEE: The hybrid work divide: Managers think tech is the answer - but staff disagree What’s more, that shift to remote working has improved the work-life balance for many (but not all) by giving them a bit more flexibility....

Many camera manufacturers, including Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Panasonic, have begun transitioning from compacts and traditional DSLRs to mirrorless formats. While there isn’t the same huge lens ecosystem of the DSLR available for mirrorless cameras yet, some of the potential benefits of mirrorless vs. DSLR are smaller and lighter form factors, quieter shooting, and more extensive video capabilities. If you’re interested in experimenting with mirrorless photography, the Panasonic, while on sale, could be a great opportunity....

RHEL 9, however, is based on the leading-edge CentOS Stream Linux distribution. So, in short, RHEL 8 is what you use if you prefer stability over innovation, while RHEL 9 is the distro for those who want the latest and greatest stable code....

Even so, it’s going to be odd to see IE go, as it’s been part of Windows’ internals for almost as long as it’s been around, its Trident engine powering tools like Outlook’s browser view and Windows’ Help system. Even on systems that have the new Edge set as default, opening an email from Outlook in browser view opens it in Internet Explorer. That’s because Outlook uses a technique that encapsulates HTML and any image resources in a single file....

Historically, STEM jobs have been stereotyped as masculine careers, discouraging women from pursuing these roles — or causing their parents and mentors to discourage them. Finances can be an issue, too. Women hold about two-thirds of the national student loan debt, according to the American Association of University Women. To fight back against these trends, some organizations have introduced women in STEM scholarships, including computer science and information technology scholarships....

But, there are certain bills that are tough to pay with a credit card. Your mortgage and rent can be downright impossible, for example. Some companies, like utilities, even charge fees of 3% or more when you swipe – fees that usually cost more than any rewards you’d earn....

The robot, named Xavier, was jointly developed by HTX and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research.

Made by the folks who revolutionized the campfire (no, really, Solo Stove’s self-contained fire ring is amazing), the Pi oven comes in two fuel configurations, propane and wood. The cartridge-style swappable burner is a marvel and makes switching between them a breeze.
