Parliamentarians and their staff have been forced to reset passwords after an apparent malicious attack against the parliamentary computing network overnight.
In a statement, Parliament's presiding officers said it was one of a number of measures taken by the Department of Parliamentary Services to protected the network and its more than 4000 users. -
Messy office owners, rejoice: Skype now blurs the background to your video
No need to frantically tidy things up before making a call.
The background-blurring feature has already been rolled out to Microsoft's corporate communication client, Teams, and now it's in the consumer-oriented app. While bulletproof detection of the background requires a depth-sensing camera, the approach used in Skype (and Teams) uses machine learning-derived algorithms in order to work with any camera. The algorithms have been trained to detect human outlines, including the voluminous hair that some lucky people are blessed with as well as arms and hands. Presumably this means that it will properly detect even those arms and hands that appear dismembered, appearing from off the edge of the screen. Using blur is optional, and it can be enabled on a call-by-call basis.

@mlnews chances are it's just an excuse to blur everything, because Skype almost never works anyway.

@Danp That is interesting. I wonder if it will make them better or worse.

Most recent update to Virtual Machine Manager on my Fedora computer comes with some UI changes and settings. The latest is 2.1.0
I noticed the changes while installing CentOS 7
Creating a new virtual machine
Instead of a drop-down, you will search for the operating system template.
The following changes to CentOS 7 template settings. I can only assume other templates settings has changed too.
The default chipset is now Q35
For CDROM, SATA is used instead of IDE
Virtual Network Interface device model options are e1000e and VirtioShowing the IP address and an option enable or disable link state is new.
You will need to haveqemu-guest-agentinstalled for the IP address to show up.
For video devices, your only have three options: QXL, Virtio, and VGA
USB controller model defaults to USB 3.
Sound Device model is now HDA (ICH9) instead of ICH6
Looks like there are more performance options for Virtual Disk.
I recall that cache mode and IO mode was only options available.

Exactly. . . it doesn't cost anything and it meets all of the security standards that exist today. . . so why wouldn't one use it?!
