When Microsoft introduced Windows 11 this week, it also made a fanfare of bringing Android apps to the OS through the Amazon Appstore. It’s an exciting feature both for Windows diehards looking for more ways to tinker and for casual users who might want the added utility of an Android app. But the initial announcement … Read more.

I’m picky about touchpads, but this one is quite roomy, with a smooth Gorilla Glass surface — I’d choose it over plenty of touchpads I’ve used on multi-thousand dollar Windows laptops. Resizing a window or sending it to fullscreen, for example, takes just a bit longer than it does on $600 devices. But I got impatient at times.

As opposed to just encrypting data at the transport level (although Acra does that between components of its architecture) or just encrypting data at the storage level (using an encrypted file system or similar), Acra targets encrypting data at the table/row/column level within a database. Acra is open source and available via GitHub.

It was a highly entertaining discussion. SwiftStack.

What is Intel SGX, you ask? Here’s a decent write-up on comparing LXC and Docker.
