          It's pretty simple to create a a browser when all you have to do is move the skin over. . .

                      The robocall crisis will never totally be fixed

                      Like spam, we'll be able to manage it but not eliminate it.
                      Years into the robocalling frenzy, your phone probably still rings off the hook with "important information about your account," updates from the "Chinese embassy," and every bogus sweepstakes offer imaginable. That's despite promises from the telecom industry and the US government that solutions would be coming. Much like the firehose of spam that made email almost unusable in the late 1990s, robocalls have made people in the US wary of picking up their cell phones and landlines. In fact, email spam offers a useful analogy: a scourge that probably can't be eliminated but can be effectively managed.

                      Finding the right tools for that job remains a challenge. The Federal Trade Commission has had a strong track record in its 140 robocall-related suits, including a recent victory at the end of March that targeted four massive operations. Bipartisan anti-robocalling legislation is gaining traction in Congress. Apps that flag or block unwanted calls have matured and are solidly effective. And wireless carriers—in part facing pressure from the Federal Communications Commission—have increasingly offered their own anti-robocalling apps and tools for free.

                        Bitcoin mining ban considered by China's economic planner

                        Bitcoin creation has joined a list of activities facing a ban in China.

                        A notice published online in Mandarin by the country's economic planning agency added "virtual currency mining activities [including] the production process of Bitcoin" to a list of industries that could be shut down.

                          InitRAMFS, Dracut y Dracut Emergency Shell

                          The Linux startup process goes through several stages before reaching the final graphical or multi-user target. The initramfs stage occurs just before the root file system is mounted. Dracut is a tool that is used to manage the initramfs. The dracut emergency shell is an interactive mode that can be initiated while the initramfs is loaded.
                          This article will show how to use the dracut command to modify the initramfs. Some basic troubleshooting commands that can be run from the dracut emergency shell will also be demonstrated.

                                      No, it is Chromium. Not Chrome. Totally different.

                                        To add to what Jared said, these are the main differences from wikipedia:

                                        *The following features of Google Chrome are not present in a default Chromium build. But some of these items can be enabled or manually added to a Chromium build, which is what many Linux distributions do.[7]

                                        Auto-update capability
                                        Integrated Adobe Flash Player
                                        API keys for some Google services
                                        The Widevine digital rights management module
                                        Licensed codecs for the popular H.264 video and AAC audio formats
                                        Tracking mechanisms for usage and crash reports

                                        The other differences are branding and licensing. While Chrome has the same user interface functionality as Chromium, it changes the color scheme to the Google-branded one. Chrome is also not open-source, so its binaries are licensed as freeware under the Google Chrome Terms of Service.[8]*

                                          Mysterious safety-tampering malware infects a second critical infrastructure site

                                          Use of game-changing Triton malware to target safety systems isn't an isolated incident.
                                          Sixteen months ago, researchers reported an unsettling escalation in hacks targeting power plants, gas refineries, and other types of critical infrastructure. Attackers who may have been working on behalf of a nation caused an operational outage at a critical-infrastructure site after deliberately targeting a system that prevented health- and life-threatening accidents.
