Kým verejnosť fascinujú nové modely generujúce video, v pozadí sa odohráva tichý útok na našu kreativitu a profesijnú identitu. Vedci varujú, že nekritické používanie AI pri brainstormingu nás robí menej tvorivými. Využívanie AI „na všetko“ pritom môže napáchať aj oveľa bezprostrednejšie škody. Presvedčil sa o tom vývojár, ktorému AI agent vymazal roky práce.V redakcii Živé.sk sme sa tiež rozhodli otestovať, či európska AI služba Mistral dokáže konkurovať americkým gigantom ako ChatGPT či Gemini. Vypočujte si novú časť podcastu PočúvAI, ktorý pripravili Maroš Žofčin a Ján Trangel.Pripravte sa na budúcnosť s knihou od redaktorov Živé.sk „Umelá inteligencia: Pripravte sa na budúcnosť“. Teraz ju máme aj v elektronickej verzii. Nájdete ju na obchod.aktuality.sk.TIP: https://zive.aktuality.sk/clanok/0RfdZVW/nahliadnite-do-buducnosti-vydavame-knihu-o-umelej-inteligencii/V podcaste hovoríme aj o týchto témach:Prepisovanie mozgu: Ako algoritmy a chatboty formujú naše myslenie podobne ako sociálne siete.Drahá lekcia vývojára: Prečo AI agent Claude Code vymazal produkčné dáta aj zálohy napriek varovaniam.Test európskeho Mistralu: V čom zaostáva francúzsky model „Le Chat“ a prečo si vymýšľa motorky.Linux pre amatérov: Praktický experiment s inštaláciou distribúcie Linux Mint a konfiguráciou ovládačov cez AI.Slovenský eID klient: Ako umelá inteligencia pomohla s rozbehaním čítačky občianskych preukazov v otvorenom systéme.Krátke správy: Nové modely GPT-5.4 od OpenAI, bezpečnostný nástroj NemoClaw od Nvidie a obavy používateľov zo straty autonómie.Podcast pripravuje magazín Živé.sk.

This episode is an introductory guide to the fundamentals of encryption. We define essential terminology such as plaintext, ciphertext, and algorithms while distinguishing between symmetric and asymmetric cryptography. Beyond basic concepts, the source explores modern security applications like secure browsing and end-to-end messaging, alongside emerging technologies like post-quantum and homomorphic encryption. The episode emphasizes that digital privacy is a fundamental human right, protecting users from identity theft, mass surveillance, and data tampering. We highlight tools like Signal and Proton Mail to offer practical advice for maintaining digital trust in an increasingly data-driven world. The episode concludes by framing encryption as the primary defense for financial and personal safety in the modern era.

Chris will be having a meetup in London March 8th, 2026 click here for more info. He will also be at Embedded World the following week at various events. Dave is also headed to a meetup in Sydney that he has presented at in the past. The "lazy man move" for meetup organizers: scheduling events within walking distance of home to simplify travel logistics. Chris provides details on his latest high-density hardware project, a 22mm circular board packed with 0201 components, Bluetooth, and a suite of sensors, noting a move from BGA to QFN for better assembly reliability. There is significant skepticism regarding "solid-state transformers" and tech articles claiming they will replace the traditional power grid, with the hosts citing efficiency losses that become massive at megawatt scales. A fascinating look into global supply chains reveals how a single AI prompt can be traced back through layers of manufacturing to sugarcane fermentation and high-purity quartz mines in Spruce Pine, North Carolina. The creeping normalization of biometric face scanning in public spaces, from water park lockers to international airport terminals. The marketing tactics behind Donut Lab's solid-state battery claims, explaining how "independent third-party testing" can be carefully hand-picked to avoid industry standards. They want us  to talk about it like this The nuances of UL certification explains how companies sometimes use specific lab reports to imply broader official endorsements that do not actually exist. Dave shares his experience watching the show Silicon Valley with his son and discusses the "hideous accuracy" of the Australian public service comedy Utopia. The pros and cons of modular hardware are debated, covering the Framework laptop's "Ship of Theseus" repairability model versus high-end gaming tablets like the Asus ROG Flow Z13. Dave's viral social media quest for the best Linux distribution leads to a consensus on Linux Mint as the top choice for beginners, fueling the ongoing joke about the "Year of the Linux Desktop". Recent industry news highlights the release candidate for KiCad 10 and the discovery of a three-cent Paduk microcontroller performing auxiliary functions inside Rode wireless microphones. Pimoroni did extreme an cooling project back in 2024 that successfully overclocked the RP2350 microcontroller to 800 MHz. We just found out about it from a post from Jeff Geerling.

The Linux Kernel 6.19 is out, the Rust experiment is over, and it's time to talk about 7.0. Vim 9.2 is out, with a bit of a weird new feature in its changelogs, and IPFire is an intriguing, community-driven security domain block list. PearOS has a new release for those seeking an Apple-inspired Linux experience, and Linux Mint is adjusting its release schedule to better manage developer and tester schedules. River is a new project trying to do Wayland support with a modular Desktop stack, and Mesa 26.0 is out with impressive performance gains. For tips, we have cull for finding and deleting big files, a systemd program for detecting if the OS is running virtualized, preload for caching applications in ram, and new_script for a script-writing tool that *doesn't* feature an LLM.

The Linux Kernel 6.19 is out, the Rust experiment is over, and it's time to talk about 7.0. Vim 9.2 is out, with a bit of a weird new feature in its changelogs, and IPFire is an intriguing, community-driven security domain block list. PearOS has a new release for those seeking an Apple-inspired Linux experience, and Linux Mint is adjusting its release schedule to better manage developer and tester schedules. River is a new project trying to do Wayland support with a modular Desktop stack, and Mesa 26.0 is out with impressive performance gains. For tips, we have cull for finding and deleting big files, a systemd program for detecting if the OS is running virtualized, preload for caching applications in ram, and new_script for a script-writing tool that *doesn't* feature an LLM. You can find the show notes at https://bit.ly/3ZCNcEc and happy Linux'ing!

This week AI-driven RAM spikes are thinning phone specs, while uTag unlocks Samsung gear for all. KeyGo Gen 2 and NexPhone offer new hardware paths, Linux Mint 22.3 updates, and OpenClaw agents bring both utility and high-risk security warnings.

The manufacturing and pricing IMMEDIATELY flipped based on the announcements from companies like OpenAI that they WOULD scale up. A company super deep in the red, generating no significant profits, just SAYING they were GOING to buy up 40% of the RAM decimated the entire consumer market. There should be antitrust investigations. When. It comes to mobile devices, we are seeing the first symptoms of component price hikes. Phones in 2025 we're largely similar to phones from 2024, often with a handful of downgrades to individual components to balance the costs of more expensive SOCs. This year, phones are even more similar to phones from 2025, and increasingly, we're seeing even more price cuts to pieces, like totally flat screens, or reducing the number of rear cameras, while we're still seeing price increases in a lot of regions. Im confident this trend will continue. As a fashion trend, companies will continue to push super thin phones as a way to sell an expensive device with fewer features. Rob DeLorean-Chamb  on uTag App I was listening to Ted on the podcast last week and heard him say he had some Samsung tags but because he hasn't got a Samsung phone he used the web interface but there is a 3rd party app that lets you natively control them as-if one's non-Samsung was actually a Samsung! UTag is an open source app too.   News KeyGo Gen 2 is a portable 2-in-1 display keyboard that can bring mini PCs to life Google confirms Gemini in Chrome is now available for Chromebook Plus laptops Attackers Attempt to Clone Google Gemini With Over 100,000 Prompts World's First 5-Ton 10-Seater eVTOL Takes Flight In China Razer's first gaming mouse is coming back with a £1,000 price tag 14 Years Later than Planned, NexPhone is Up for Preorder Banters: Knocking out a Quick Bant Linux Mint 22.3 (what's new)  OpenClaw looks interesting - Seems to get as many warnings as recommendations tho.

After a long hiatus from live, human-voiced podcasting, Chris Abraham returns with the unofficial kickoff to a new season of The Chris Abraham Show. Call it Season 10, or just call it “one more than whatever came before.” This episode is less a formal broadcast and more a fireside check-in. No hot takes yet. No grand thesis. Just Uncle Chris catching up, taking inventory, and letting listeners back into the workshop.Chris opens by reflecting on a year spent experimenting with AI-assisted writing and audio. Substacks fed into NotebookLM. Podcasts assembled more like orchestration than performance. He likens himself to a Renaissance painter running a studio: sketch the idea, let the assistants fill in the canvas, then obsessively revise until it feels true enough to sign. It sparked conversations, which felt like a win, even if the whole thing occasionally resembled “DJ Slop.”From there, the episode turns personal. One week post-second ablation, Chris reports that his heart is finally humming along in sinus rhythm after a long struggle with atrial fibrillation. The first procedure failed and took the wind out of his sails, contributing to weight gain, lethargy, and a general retreat from movement. This time feels different. Better sleep. BiPAP nights. The cautious hope of eventually shedding some medications. The slow return to walking, cycling, kettlebells, and the familiar ritual of getting back in the saddle, literally and figuratively.Fitness and body discipline weave through the episode, including a rueful confession: Chris once tattooed a kettlebell on his hand as a motivational Hail Mary… and then promptly stopped lifting. Future tattoo ideas may include a Concept2 logo and the muted horn from The Crying of Lot 49, because symbolism apparently works better than guilt.Work life is steadier. SEO, Google Business Profile recoveries, and AI-adjacent consulting are keeping the lights on. But the real joy lately lives in the nerd margins. Chris dives deep into decentralized systems, inspired by Ghost in the Shell, particularly the sentient blue tanks that sync their “souls” to a server. That idea metastasized into a home-rolled infrastructure project: seven identical Lenovo ThinkPads running Linux Mint, all synchronized via a cloud droplet using Syncthing. Not a backup. A living sync mesh. Every laptop a node. Every document everywhere.That fascination with nodes and meshes extends into the physical world via Meshtastic. Chris recently deployed a LoRa-based radio node, ABRA (short for Abracadabra), hanging from an eighth-floor Arlington window, quietly strengthening a local, license-free mesh network. No voices. No feeds. Just short messages hopping node to node, old-school and strangely comforting. It's part prepper tech, part early-internet nostalgia, part philosophical itch scratched.Elsewhere in the ecosystem: Mastodon survives for now at abraham.su, rescued at the last minute despite the .su clock ticking toward 2030. Micro.blog joins the stack under chrisa.micro.blog and ChrisA.org. Digital homesteading continues.Chris also shares the unexpected joy of joining a long-running Dungeons & Dragons campaign, Curse of Strahd, playing a stubborn Eldritch Knight named Radley, refusing to read the manual, and delighting in chaos alongside a group of grizzled old nerds on Discord. Dice are rolled. Plans go sideways. Everyone survives, mostly.The episode closes with quieter notes: a growing devotion to the Gospels, nightly Episcopal Compline prayers, the simple rhythm of rereading rather than rushing ahead. A Powerball ticket purchased. Gym plans deferred. Kettlebells waiting. A rowing machine sulking upright in the corner.This isn't a manifesto. It's a temperature check. A reintroduction. Uncle Chris is back, heart steadier, systems syncing, curiosity intact, and ready to spend the rest of the year talking through the small things before returning to the big ones.

In this episode of mintCast, we kick things off with Mint Monthly News for December, covering what's new and noteworthy in the Linux Mint world. In Security and Privacy, Charles breaks down two fresh vulnerabilities, React2Shell and Tarmageddon-Flaw, explaining what they are, why they matter, and how they could impact Linux users. Then, in the Innards segment, Dale joins us for a deep dive into Syncthing. We explore what it is, how it works, and why it's such a powerful, privacy-friendly tool for keeping your files in sync across devices—without relying on the cloud.

Setting up Linux Mint with Custom LVM and Luks Linux Mint with Custom LVM on LUKS Overview The current Linux Mint installer doesn't support custom partitions when setting up a new machine with LUKS encryption using LVM. I prefer having a separate partition for my home directory and a backup partition for Timeshift, so that reinstalling or fixing issues won't overwrite my home directory. I found several approaches to achieve this. One method involves setting up partitions first and then using the installer to select them, but this requires extensive post-installation configuration to get boot working with the encrypted drive. I discovered this blog which explains how to repartition your drive after installation. Combined with my guide on setting up hibernation, I created this documentation to help remember how to install a fresh copy of Linux Mint with LVM and LUKS. Tested on: Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon Partition Layout For this guide, I'm working with a 1TB drive that will be split into the following logical volumes: Root - 100GB (system files and applications) Swap - 32GB (for hibernation support) Home - 700GB (user files and documents) Backup - 100GB (Timeshift snapshots) Unallocated - ~68GB (reserved for future expansion) This setup ensures that system snapshots and user data remain separate, making system recovery much easier. Installation Guide Step 1: Initial Linux Mint Installation Start the Linux Mint installation process as normal: Boot from your Linux Mint installation media Follow the installation wizard (language, keyboard layout, etc.) When you reach the Installation type screen: Select "Erase disk and install Linux Mint" Click "Advanced features" Enable both options: ✓ Use LVM with the new Linux Mint installation ✓ Encrypt the new Linux Mint installation for security Click Continue Enter a strong encryption password when prompted Complete the rest of the installation (timezone, user account, etc.) When installation finishes, do NOT click "Restart Now" - we'll repartition first Important: Do NOT reboot after installation completes. We need to repartition before the first boot. Step 2: Access Root Terminal After installation finishes, open a terminal and switch to root: sudo -i This gives you administrative privileges needed for disk operations. Step 3: Check Current Disk Layout View your current partition structure: lsblk -f This displays your filesystem layout. You should see your encrypted volume group (typically vgmint) with a large root partition consuming most of the space. Step 4: Resize Root Partition Shrink the root partition from its default size (nearly full disk) to 100GB: lvresize -L 100G --resizefs vgmint/root What this does: -L 100G sets the logical volume size to exactly 100GB --resizefs automatically resizes the filesystem to match This frees up ~900GB for our other partitions Step 5: Resize Swap Partition The default swap is usually small (a few GB). We need to increase it to 32GB for hibernation: lvresize --verbose -L +32G /dev/mapper/vgmint-swap_1 What this does: -L +32G adds 32GB to the current swap size --verbose shows detailed progress information This ensures enough swap space for RAM contents during hibernation Note: For hibernation to work, swap should be at least equal to your RAM size. Adjust accordingly. Step 6: Create Home Partition Create a new logical volume for your home directory: lvcreate -L 700G vgmint -n home What this does: -L 700G creates a 700GB logical volume vgmint is the volume group name -n home names the new volume "home" Step 7: Create Backup Partition Create a logical volume for Timeshift backups: lvcreate -L 100G vgmint -n backup What this does: Creates a dedicated 100GB space for system snapshots Keeps backups separate from user data Prevents backups from filling up your home partition Step 8: Format New Partitions Format both new partitions with the ext4 filesystem: mkfs.ext4 /dev/vgmint/backup mkfs.ext4 /dev/vgmint/home What this does: Creates ext4 filesystems on both logical volumes ext4 is the standard Linux filesystem with good performance and reliability Step 9: Mount Partitions Create mount points and mount your partitions: mkdir /mnt/{root,home} mount /dev/vgmint/root /mnt/root/ mount /dev/vgmint/home /mnt/home/ What this does: Creates temporary directories to access the filesystems Mounts root and home so we can configure them Step 10: Move Home Directory Contents Move the existing home directory contents from the root partition to the new home partition: mv /mnt/root/home/* /mnt/home/ What this does: Transfers all user files and directories from the old location to the new home partition Preserves your user account settings and any files created during installation Without this step, your home directory would be empty on first boot Step 11: Update fstab Add the home partition to the system's fstab file so it mounts automatically at boot: echo "/dev/mapper/vgmint-home /home ext4 defaults 0 2" >> /mnt/root/etc/fstab What this does: Appends a mount entry to /etc/fstab Ensures /home partition mounts automatically at startup The 0 2 values enable filesystem checks during boot Step 12: Clean Up and Prepare for Reboot Unmount the partitions and deactivate the volume group: umount /mnt/root umount /mnt/home swapoff -a lvchange -an vgmint What this does: Safely unmounts all mounted filesystems Turns off swap Deactivates the volume group to prevent conflicts Ensures everything is properly closed before reboot Step 13: Reboot Now you can safely reboot into your new system: reboot Enter your LUKS encryption password at boot, then log in normally. Verification After rebooting, verify your partition setup: lsblk -f df -h You should see: Root (/) mounted with ~100GB Home (/home) mounted with ~700GB Swap available with 32GB Backup partition ready for Timeshift configuration Setting Up Timeshift To complete your backup solution: Install Timeshift (if not already installed): sudo apt install timeshift Launch Timeshift and select RSYNC mode Choose the backup partition as your snapshot location Configure your backup schedule (daily, weekly, monthly) Create your first snapshot Additional Resources Original blog post on LVM rearrangement Setting up hibernation on Linux Mint Conclusion This setup gives you the best of both worlds: the security of full-disk encryption with LUKS, and the flexibility of custom LVM partitions. Your home directory and system backups are now isolated, making system recovery and upgrades much safer and more manageable. Automating Your Linux Mint Setup After a Fresh Install Automating Your Linux Mint Setup After a Fresh Install Setting up a fresh Linux Mint installation can be time-consuming, especially when you want to replicate your perfect development environment. This guide will show you how to automate the entire process using Ansible and configuration backups, so you can go from a fresh install to a fully configured system in minutes. Why Automate Your Setup? Whether you're setting up a new machine, recovering from a system failure, or just want to maintain consistency across multiple computers, automation offers several key benefits: Time Savings: What normally takes hours can be done in minutes Consistency: Identical setup across all your machines Documentation: Your setup becomes self-documenting Recovery: Quick recovery from system failures Reproducibility: Never forget to install that one crucial tool again Discovering Your Installed Applications Before creating your automation setup, you need to identify which applications you've manually installed since the initial OS installation. This helps you build a complete picture of your custom environment. Finding APT and .deb Packages To see all manually installed packages (excluding those that came with the OS): comm -23

Hoy les hablo del fin de soporte para Windows 10 a partir del 14 de octubre de 2025 y las implicaciones de esta decisión de Microsoft. Explico que la Unión Europea logró una extensión de un año para las actualizaciones de seguridad, y que los usuarios fuera de Europa pueden pagar por un soporte extendido llamado ESU. Debe haber una principal preocupación es la falta de parches de seguridad, lo que volverá a los equipos vulnerables a ataques cibernéticos con el tiempo. Finalmente, les presento varias opciones para los usuarios, incluyendo actualizar a Windows 11 (si el hardware lo permite y tiene TPM 2.0), usar herramientas como Rufus para forzar la instalación, o cambiar a Linux Mint como la alternativa más recomendada para hardware antiguo. https://rufus.ie/es/ https://www.microsoft.com/es-es/windows/extended-security-updates?r=1 https://linuxmint.com/ https://aka.ms/GetPCHealthCheckApp ESPERAMOS TUS COMENTARIOS...

With Gareth Myles and Ted Salmon Join us on Mewe Feedback, Fallout and Contributions Ian Barton (Quick mention as now done elsewhere) Ian was particularly enthused about all things Linux and Open Source so was one of our more active members here in TA. He taught me much about all sorts of tech stuff - a kind chap - very kind - and thoughtful. RIP Dennis Schreiner on Linux Mint and BeeLink Sluggishness I just wanted to say that I have a Beelink with Ryzen 5800 U and Linux Mint is not running well for me on it either. I think Mint is the Problem since it switched to Ubuntu. I have since had a lot of performance issues with it. Also in the Top Linux List it's going downhill. I wouldn't now recommend Mint anymore for beginners and low-spec'd PCs. Since I switched my BeeLink to Fedora Linux (KDE Plasma version) it's very smooth-running again. Also Fedora is pretty easy to operate. Bazzite and Nobara are also beginner-friendly with low spec requirements. I'm enjoying TA, thank you :) CachyOS Ujjwal Sehgal on Retroid Pocket Classic I bought this thinking I'd use it purely for retro gaming but it's starting to become a favourite overall retro gadget. Beautiful OLED touchscreen. Runs Android 14. Google Play store present. Snapdragon G1 Gen 2. 128GB of storage. microSD slot. Icing on the cake is the head phone jack. I find myself using it to listen to music when I'm away from my phone. The squareish screen is great for watching old 4:3 TV content. It kind of feels like what GameBoy could have been if it were released today! I remember using my original PSP in the same way when I was younger. Feels like a nostalgic digital detox device - as the screen aspect ratio is awful for email, WhatsApp or any social media apps!

video: https://youtu.be/5T1Frk70LTQ Comment on the TWIL Forum (https://thisweekinlinux.com/forum) This week in Linux, we have a lot of news to cover. We have some good news and some bad news. Well, people like to start with bad news first, I guess. So there is a fiasco happening with Secure Boot and how it may be affecting Linux users. Also, the EU is proposing a law that is pretty close to being passed that is very scary and a step towards mass surveillance. We'll talk about that. Then also we have some good news and that the Pebble watches are back and we have some beta releases from Linux Mint and Ubuntu Touch as well as SyncThing is back, which is a really cool tool to sync your files across multiple devices.
