Raspberry Pi’s designers have revealed more about the overhauled design of the Raspberry Pi 4 inside its new Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard computer.

The new $70 Raspberry Pi 400, announced on Monday, offers fans of the Raspberry Pi single-board computer a polished, modern take on far less powerful classics from the 1980s like the BBC Micro, ZX Spectrum and Commodore Amiga.

Zoom meetings: You can now add live captions to your call – and they actually work

Technology company Otter.ai has brought live captions to Zoom calls, to help remote workers focus better.

Zoom calls will now come with the option of live captions, in a move that’s likely to make life easier for remote workers whose attention spans suffer steep declines during online meetings.

Ransomware vs WFH: How remote working is making cyberattacks easier to pull off

This year has forced organisations to adapt quickly to enabling employees to work from home. That’s creating ‘chaos with no control’ – which cyber criminals are exploiting.

The unique conditions of 2020 mean businesses are more reliant on being digitally connected than ever before. Cyber criminals know this, which is why ransomware attacks have become even more pervasive – and effective during the course of this year.

Ubuntu clouds on the Raspberry Pi

Ubuntu 20.10 on Raspberry Pi now comes with the full Linux desktop and, believe it or not, support for clouds.

Canonical, Ubuntu Linux’s parent company, just released Ubuntu 20.10. This “Groovy Gorilla” is a short-term release (STR) that’s only supported for 9 months. If you want an Ubuntu to use in production you want the long-term support (LTS) Ubuntu 20.04. But, the new Ubuntu does come with one new feature that Raspberry Pi users will appreciate. It’s the first version to come with optimized Raspberry Pi images for the desktop, server, and the cloud. Yes, the cloud. Stick with me. Here’s how it works.

Kata Containers rewritten in Rust gets a major speed boost

The Open Infrastructure Foundation’s Kata Containers 2.0 is both much smaller and faster than its earlier version.

Kata Containers united Intel Clear Containers with Hyper’s runV. The goal was to unite virtual machines (VMs) security advantages with the speed and manageability of container technologies. Now with version 2.0, it’s faster and smaller than ever.

Cloud computing will power pandemic recovery in 2021

In the coming year, cloud will power how companies adapt to the “new, unstable normal.” It’s still uncertain how far into 2021 we’ll continue to work from home, shop primarily online, or avoid air travel — it’s clear though that becoming more agile, responsive, and adaptive than ever before is inevitable for every enterprise.
