It happened in a matter of days Microsoft is hiring former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman. Altman was fired from OpenAI on Friday after the board said it was "no longer confident in his ability to continue to lead OpenAI." Following discussions about Altman's possible return to OpenAI, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman would join Microsoft's new cutting-edge artificial intelligence research group. “We are very pleased to announce that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, along with colleagues, will join Microsoft to lead a new cutting-edge artificial intelligence research group. We will act quickly to provide them with the resources they need to succeed.” Let us remind you that earlier it became known that former CEO and co-founder of Twitch Emmett Shear was appointed head of OpenAI. He will succeed Mira Murati, who was named interim CEO of OpenAI following Altman's ouster on Friday.

Microsoft has formed a new advanced artificial intelligence research group that will include Altman and Brockman. This comes just a week after Microsoft announced it was building its own AI chip that could be used to train large language models and potentially avoid a costly dependency on Nvidia. Microsoft has also created its own Arm-based processor for cloud workloads. Both custom silicon chips are designed for Azure data centers.

How To Free Up Ram On Windows 10? Step By Step Guide

[phonemantra-blog]

Former Twitch leader becomes new head of OpenAI OpenAI's board hired former Twitch executive Emmett Shear as chief executive, ignoring calls from investors to reinstate ousted Sam Altman. Earlier this year, Shear stepped down as CEO of game streaming company Twitch. He won OpenAI's favor because he recognized the threat posed by AI, one Bloomberg source said. A computer scientist who spent more than a decade building Twitch into one of the most successful video platforms in the world, Shire is considered the man to lead a large engineering team. The decision to hire Shear came in defiance of investors led by Microsoft and Thrive Capital, who had called for the board to resign and wanted Altman back. Sam Altman will not return, despite the efforts of Microsoft and other investors. [caption id="attachment_83791" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Microsoft[/caption] Another Bloomberg source said members of the San Francisco startup's board of directors have approached at least two prominent tech company executives about leading OpenAI. Representatives for OpenAI and Emmet Shear did not respond to requests for comment. OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who orchestrated Altman's dismissal, told employees that Altman would not return. Elon Musk has said that the potential dangers of advanced artificial intelligence are so great that OpenAI must reveal the reason for  the dismissal of CEO Sam Altman .

Linux - 8 Reasons Why Linux Beats Windows 10

Linux Operating System

It developed for computers, servers, mainframes, mobile devices, and embedded devices. Linux is a Unix like open-source and community developed.

Also, it supported by almost every computer platform, including ARM, x86, and SPARC, making it one of the most widely supported operating systems you can use.

It used for any task relating to the computer. Every version of the Linux operating system manages hardware resources, launches, and handles applications.

Windows 10

Windows 10

It is a series of operating systems that is developed by Microsoft. And release its Windows NT family of operating systems.

Windows 8.1 release two years earlier, and it released to manufacturing on July-15-2015. And released for the public on July-29-2015. and it is the successor.

Now, there are some reasons why Linux beats Windows, and the points are going to list out now.

8 Reasons why Linux beats Windows 10

Linux beats Windows 10

1. No Activation

You do not have to activate it by Internet or phone. If you re-install it and change your hardware, also you do not have to call someone to justify it, and also there is no such thing as Linux Genuine Advantage.

2. Installation

You can install Linux on as many computers as you want. As well as, You can download it, and you can burn disc after disc. You don't have to enter not discovered product keys stuck onto your computer, and You don't have to store product keys for safety.

3. Stability and Reliability,

It has Unix originally and Unique base that is design to provide an environment that's powerful, stable, and reliable yet easy to use. It systems are widely known for their stability and reliability. In reality, Many Linux servers on the Internet have been running for years without failure or even being restarted.

4. Easability 

You don't have to explain to Linux users that "Windows 97" isn't a product, nor is "Office 98" and that it's not "Vista," which has the funny ribbon bar. 

Do you like the Internet? The TCP/IP protocol however built on UNIX computers. It's natural to Linux, unlike Windows, which only grab TCP/IP as its native protocol from Windows 2000.

Nobody ever sells a second-hand computer with Linux on it and then has to deal with buyers complaining they were "ripped off" because Microsoft Word isn't installed.

5. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Maintenance

The total cost of owning and maintaining a Linux server is lower than a Windows server in terms of licensing fees, software/hardware purchase, and maintenance costs.

Unless you are running a ownership Linux distribution such as RHEL or SUSE server Linux, which requires a subscription, you can receive premium support and services.

6. Old Hardware Support

Linux Operating System will help your old hardware with sharp performance, and It will make better use of your modern hardware, too, delivering faster performance and better memory management than Windows.

More than 80% of the top 500 super computers in the world run Linux. Windows don't have the power for high performance computing.

7. It perfect for programmers.

Linux operating system almost indeed supports all programming languages like (Python, C/C++, Java, Perl, Ruby, etc.). Moreover, it offers a vast range of applications useful for programming purposes.

The terminal is more superior to use than Window's command line for developers, and you would find many libraries developed natively for Linux.

8. Privacy

Based on privacy, Microsoft certainly tries to hide the data collected from every user. In fact, Windows 10 has already received very large criticism for collecting data, what it should collect, and what it should not.

With Windows 10, you could only head into the privacy settings to know that everything is enabled by default. Even if you opt-out to send Microsoft information about your data, It is still being collected.

But, Linux, in contrast, would be the perfect solution for a privacy buff. It distributions do not collect much data (or none). Moreover, you will not need additional tools to protect your privacy.

Linux is a popular term often used to refer to a complete operating system that runs on various devices such as computers, servers, smartphones, and embedded systems. However, technically speaking, Linux is just a kernel, which is the core component of an operating system that manages the hardware resources and interacts with the processes. This article explains this concept in detail.

We went to the Oracle VirtualBox site and downloaded and installed VirtualBox 6.0. Oracle VM VirtualBox is free, open source virtual machine software maintained by Oracle Corp.

It was originally an Innotek product before Innotek was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2008. Sun Microsystems was in turn acquired by Oracle in 2010. The alternative software to Oracle VM VirtualBox is VMware workstation.

I have been using Oracle VM VirtualBox since 2016 and have learnt a lot of information about how it works and how to install various operating systems.

Virtualbox can run Linux guest operating systems and Microsoft Windows guest operating systems. It can emulate both 64-bit operating systems and 32-bit operating systems.

Each operating system you add to VirtualBox is treated as a Guest. The guest operating system is running in its own virtual environment, which emulates a real machine on your PC. This means that anything you do in it does not affect your PC. The guest runs in a console:

About the VBox console: The VirtualBox console displays the active virtual machine. It shows the virtual guest operating system activity icons in the status bar. The console can be re-sized, minimised and forced closed from the title bar. It is not recommended to force close an active guest operating system as this acts like switching off mains power. Your guest operating system should be shut down cleanly. You can select different viewing modes in the view list or use the shortcut keys assigned with them. These mode include full screen mode, seamless mode and scaled mode. VirtualBox website link: https://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox  

After setting it up, I went to find some Linux-based operating systems to download. Each download is a disc image file with the file extension .iso. 

I chose:

Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS (Long Term Support)

This operating system uses the MATE Desktop Environment, which is the continuation of the former GNOME 2 Desktop. I like this desktop environment because it has a very configurable interface.

Ubuntu MATE: https://ubuntu-mate.org/

Wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_MATE

Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.3 Tricia (based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)

This operating system uses the Cinnamon Desktop Environment which is based on GNOME 3. Cinnamon uses MGSE (Mint Gnome Shell Extensions), which re-creates a more traditional desktop linux experience whilst also looking modern. 

I like this desktop environment because it looks modern and feels familiar to those who come from Windows.

Linux Mint: https://www.linuxmint.com/

Wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Mint

Linux Mint MATE 19.3 Tricia (based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)

Linux Mint edition featuring the MATE Desktop Environment. I like this desktop environment because like Ubuntu MATE, it is very configurable. It also features Linux Mints system updating utility.

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

This version of Ubuntu is the main version by Canonical Ltd. This operating system uses the GNOME 3 Desktop Environment.

Ubuntu came out in 2004 and used GNOME 2 as it’s desktop environment until 2011, when it changed to the now discontinued Unity Desktop. In 2017, Canonical announced it would return to GNOME. I like this desktop environment as unlike the GNOME 3 default interface, Ubuntu uses its own orange style theme and adds a Unity like dock on the left of the screen.

Ubuntu: https://ubuntu.com/

Wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu

Xubuntu 20.04 LTS

This operating system uses the XFCE Desktop Environment which aims to be lightweight on system resources and has a really configurable user interface. Xfce once stood for XForms Common Environment. The menu system is called  the Whisker Menu. I like this desktop environment because like MATE it is very configurable.

The Ubuntu 20.04 Long Term Release is code named: Focal Fossa. All Ubuntu based distros use .deb (Debian Package Manager) for software installation.

Xubuntu: https://xubuntu.org/

Wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xfce

Fedora Workstation 32

Fedora is a Linux distribution developed by the community-supported Fedora Project which is sponsored primarily by Red Hat, a subsidiary of IBM, with additional support from other companies. Fedora is used by Linus Torvalds who is the creator of the Linux kernel.

Fedora is the upstream source of the commercial Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution.

Since the release of Fedora 30, five different editions are currently available: Workstation, focused on the personal computer, Server for servers, CoreOS, focused on cloud computing, Silverblue, focused on an immutable desktop specialized to container-based workflows and IoT, focused on IoT devices.

I like this desktop environment because it looks fresh and modern. This operating system features the latest version of the GNOME Desktop Environment. 

The screenshot of Fedora shows the ‘Activities’ dial screen which gives you a Visual overview of your GNOME Desktop. 

With the Activities screen, you can see and control currently opened app windows, all installed applications, search system and switch desktop work spaces.

Fedora: https://getfedora.org/

Wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_(operating_system)

CentOS 8.1

CentOS (Community Enterprise Operating System) is a Linux distribution that provides a free, community-supported computing platform functionally compatible with its upstream source operating system, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). It is maintained by The CentOS Project (affiliated with Red Hat). Both operating systems use GNOME 3 as their default desktop environment.

It is basically a free version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, with the Red Hat branding removed and update servers pointing away from Red Hat servers.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a commercial focused Linux distro.

All Red Hat Linux based distros such as RHEL, CentOS and Fedora use .rpm (Red Hat Package Manager) for software installation.

CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux can be installed on servers, workstations and desktops. Both are very popular on mission critical commercial server systems as it is designed to be flexible and very stable.

I thought this Linux distro is interesting because unlike the Ubuntu based distros above, installation of CentOS is more involved, you set up software sources, installed software, desktop and operating system components.

CentOS runs on a lot of web servers.

CentOS: https://www.centos.org/

RHEL:

https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux

CentOS Wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS

RHEL Wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux

VirtualBox requires the installation of Guest Additions, which adds extra features to the virtual machine, such as the ability to scale the resolution of the guest operating system, better 3D acceleration and the ability to move files between the Guest and Host machine.

To install Guest Additions on a Linux guest, you will need to use the terminal. installation of this is different on .deb and .rpm builds of Linux.

Use tracking systems

Many phone manufacturers are creating smartphones with tracking devices in place. You can also download a software to that effect if your mobile phone doesn't come with it. Several systems are quite sufficient and therefore are able to wipe out your information slightly if the phone gets taken so that your information won't be used or tampered with. The particular android phone for instance sends sound the alarm messages when sim control cards are exchanged. You can also the path it online using GPRS or cell towers and also view images caught simply by its spy camera.

End up being alert!

Be ware connected with software, sites or plans that cannot be genuinely followed which can get to your credit credit card and private information that you possibly don't want anybody to gain access to. Cross check hyperlinks and the landing pages to ensure absolutely nothing is left to chance.

Keep track of phone

Just like computer or some kind of other device updates, your current smartphone should regularly acquire updated and not just for marketing promotions or a catch somewhere nevertheless for security.

Putting in a strong antivirus on your android-phone to guard against damaging gentle wares and viruses is recommended.

Phone covers/bags

Lots of you might think its silly or even old fashioned but when your cellphone drops and hits a hardcore surface or goes into somewhere holding water you don't like it at all. So utilize a phone cover especially when active because it helps prevent the phone coming from breaking when it hits an overwhelming surface or from quick damage when it comes into exposure to water. There are trendy touch screen phone covers and bags obtainable everywhere so get one!
