Ubuntu: A Beginner's Guide

What Is Ubuntu? Ubuntu is  a free desktop operating system . It’s based on Linux, a massive project that enables millions of people around the world to run machines powered by free and open software  on all kinds of devices . Linux comes in many shapes and sizes, with Ubuntu being the most popular iteration on desktops and laptops. When I say “free,” I’m not just referring to cost. I’m also talking about freedom. Unlike most proprietary software (such as Windows and macOS), free and open source software lets you edit its code, install as many copies as you want, and distribute the program as you please. You don’t pay for a license to use it. So Ubuntu is not only free for you to download, it’s  free for you to use however you like .                                                             Audience Ubuntu Linux has been ar...

Why A Biologist's COVID-19 Blogs Went Viral

When biologist Erin Bromage posted a blog about reducing personal risk for contracting COVID-19, little did he realize that he was about to become very well known. His ability to turn complex scientific principles into clear guidance for action has clicked with millions of people. Medscape spoke with Bromage about the COVID-19 blogs read round the world, and what he foresees for the country moving forward. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Which of your posts got the most attention, and why do you think that happened? I wrote a post called The Risks – Know Them – Avoid Them. I was writing it for my friends and family in Australia and here in the United States. Both countries were about to reopen, but no one had any idea of where to put our energy with respect to risk mitigation or hazard reduction behavior. So I put together a story: this is what we know, this is what it means, and this is what we can do. It seemed to gel. I think it's because I could simplify ...

UK Protesters Clash With Police During Anti-Rasism Demonstrations

UK Protesters Clash With Police During Anti-Rasism DemonstrationsAfter a largely peaceful day, small numbers of protesters near Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s residence threw bottles at police and mounted officers charged at demonstrators to push them back. More than a thousand people also marched past the US Embassy in London, blocking traffic, NBC news reported. Thousands of people took the streets, holding signs saying “Black Lives Matter” and ignoring government advice to avoid large gatherings due to the risk from coronavirus. Similar demonstrations were held in other cities across the world, from Paris to Sydney, and even Tokyo. In Paris, police officially banned protests on Saturday, citing fears of the respiratory illness. It was to no avail as people turned out in force in the center of the French capital. Security forces sealed off the city's US Embassy and surrounding streets, where organizers had hoped to gather. In a grey and rainy central London, thousands defied a pl...

4 ways to lose weight

                             1   Eat Breakfast Every Day. One habit that's common to many people who have lost weight and kept it off is eating breakfast every day. "Many people think skipping breakfast is a great way to cut calories, but they usually end up eating more throughout the day, says Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD, author of The Pocket Idiot's Guide to the New Food Pyramids. "Studies show people who eat breakfast have lower BMIs than breakfast-skippers and perform better, whether at school or in the boardroom." Try a bowl of whole-grain cereal topped with fruit and low-fat dairy for a quick and nutritious start to your day.                             2   Close the Kitchen at Night. Establish a time when you will stop eating so you won't give in to the late-night munchies or mindless snacking while watching television. "H...

PUBG Mobile: Beta testing leaks Erangel 2.0 likely to release soon, here’s what to expect

Batle   royale  title  PUBG  Mobile’s owner Tencent Games has added an upgraded version of the classic  Erangel map  in the Chinese beta version  Game For Peace  (also known as Peacekeeper Elite), as per a report by GizChina. This could be the test stage of what is believed to be the  Erangel 2.0  map and since it is in beta only, the global  update  may take some time to arrive in  PUBG Mobile . Erangel is one of the most played maps on  PUBG  Mobile. It is an 8x8 island where the terrain ranges from open grasslands to tall mountains, with cities and towns thrown in the mix. There are two bridges in the map which connect the more significant portion of the island to Erangel's Military Base. The announcement of Erangel 2.0 in  PUBG  was made during the finals of PMCO 2019. However, at that time, the developers weren't sure how long it would take for the revamp to take place. It's now safe to say that it...
