NextCloud 15 has released.
I see the upgrade to 15 as well. Are you guys running on the Stable channel or beta?
This is production. Always
Stable.
I'm on beta here.
Found one I missed though...
-
Those of us using Stable, 15 should appear starting end of this week.
How do I get 15? As always, you can wait for the updater to help you move to Nextcloud 15. Users on the Nextcloud 14 series will see the new version appear starting end of this week, however, note that we roll out new releases incrementally! This means that it can take several weeks before it becomes available, and if a serious issue is found during roll-out, we will delay or stop the roll-out and wait until 15.0.1 is out with fixes. -

Just updated, looks slightly different. Noticeably faster.

Try the Dash to Dock extension for Fedora Workstation
The default desktop of Fedora Workstation — GNOME Shell — is known and loved by many users for its minimal, clutter-free user interface. However, one thing that many users want is an always-visible view of open applications. One simple and effective way to get this is with the awesome Dash to Dock GNOME Shell extension.
I actually prefer Dash to Panel for that more Windows feel on Gnome

I use to use Dash to Dock and many other extensions but now I don't use any extensions at all. I also disable all the extensions that come preinstalled too.

Sort of, I just noticed I don't use the extensions that I depend on anymore.

Appreciating the need for transformation, Michael Dell and private equity firm Silver Lake Partners teamed up to buy out public shareholders and take the company private in 2013. Away from the challenging gaze of the public markets, Dell & Co. transformed the company via acquisition and investment. Five years later, it appears Dell and Silver Lake feel the company is in much better shape and ready for the spotlight once again.
I actually caught wind of this from @dbeato on Twitter. Credit goes to him too

This vote was originally set and decided to build municipal fiber back in 2015, Comcast is the one who re-proposed to the town and the town refused to get hitched.
Long drawn out proposal there.

Yep and Comcast is going to sure the municipality for some reason or another and block the roll-out for another 3-5 years.

Intel finally moves past Skylake with Sunny Cove architecture, coming 2019
Finally, a move away from just bundling more cores together.
In 2019, Intel will release Core and Xeon chips built around a new architecture: the chips will add a bunch of new instructions to accelerate certain popular workloads such as cryptography and compression, with the company demonstrating 75-percent improvement in compression performance relative to prior-generation parts.

My hometown did this almost decade ago. It was Charter (Spectrum) instead of Comcast.

Technology allows tight integration of high performance and low power processes.
In 2019, Intel is going to ship chips using a new 3D stacking technology the company is calling Foveros. Foveros allows complex logic dies to be stacked upon one another, providing a much greater ability to mix and match processor components with optimal manufacturing processes

New 17-inch LG Gram laptop weighs 2.9 pounds, has nearly 20-hour battery life
LG will show off all new Gram laptops at CES in January.
The mammoth 17-inch laptop appears to take most of its design from the original LG Gram, which Ars reviewed last year. It looks like a standard ultrabook, with a nearly edge-to-edge display and a slightly larger chin bezel. LG claims to have put a 17-inch display in a 15.6-inch chassis, but it's hard to tell how well that statement holds up through images alone.

Wow, that's a long battery life. I need one of those!
