How to back up and wipe your Windows PC https://www.theverge.com/24167817/windows-pc-backup-wipe-how-to #news

So I've discovered another neat feature of the #Vivaldi browser; Workspaces. It allows you to stay organized without cluttering up your desktop with multiple windows, each with their own set of tabs. Basically I can have a "tech news" workspace where I have news and social media all tiled. I can also have a workspace with its own, different set of tabs. Each workspace stays running in the background and you swap between them with the workspaces button. Kinda like windows within a window.

In case you missed it, there were a bunch of leaked documents relating to #Google search that basically proved they have been lying, a lot, about how their algorithms work.

Headline: Google confirms the leaked Search documents are real

Subtitle: Until today, the company refused to comment on the authenticity of the trove of documents.

#linuxplumbers is back in Europe this year, so @pid_eins and myself are hosting a MC track, and the CfP is now open - submit submit submit!

The title is: "Kernel <-> Userspace/Init/System Management boundaries and APIs MC" and the focus is on topics related to the APIs and interfaces sitting at the boundary between the kernel and init systems/system management layers, with a special attention directed towards current pain points and omissions.

Title: How Google RUINED the Internet

Snippet: You may have noticed that Google isn't what it used to be. Search results are buried under ads and sponsored links, and when you do find a result, it's overflowing with SEO garbage. You aren't imagining things: the internet is getting quantifiably worse.

IBM’s Iconic Model-M Keyboard Gets Modern Remake from 8BitDo

Few computer keyboards are as iconic, as influential, or as beige as the IBM Model-M, so it’s no surprise to see it chosen for a modern Bluetooth-equipped interpretation courtesy of gaming peripheral maker 8BitDo. Following on from its (awesome) Nintendo NES, Famicom and Commodore 64 homages, 8BitDo has unveiled it’s latest homage to computing yore, this time paying loving tribute to the IBM Model-M keyboard. Though I’ll pop the optimism now: it uses Kailh Box V2 white switches by default (swappable, of course) so you’ll need to supply your own buckling spring sound effect while typing! To crib a bit

Mozilla Firefox 126.0.1 Fixes Drag and Drop Quirk on Linux

This month’s Firefox 126 release brought with it a modest set of improvements for Linux users — as well as an annoying bug which temporarily breaks drag and drop actions in the browser. And that bug was easy to trigger: select some text or an image on a web page, then ‘drag’ it out but release (something I inadvertently do when browsing web pages quite often). Then, next time to you try to drag something out of a web page it no longer works. Restarting the browser (or perform a convoluted workaround involving external apps) would thaw the flaw, but
