This is a very interesting article to say the least.. AN employee from Linux designed a security device that when attached correctly can wipe a Linux laptop of sensitive data. And like most things Linux, this is Open-Source info, as the inventor is sharing exactly how to make your own cable called Buskill.

Re: Article #1 for winter 2020 quarter....
This is a forum where Linus Torvalds (Creator of the Linux Kernel) was arguing with another software developer that was trying to implement a different type of scheduler for processes. Something they were referring to was the "Spinlock" method which Linus said was causing latency and misappropriate data at the end node. The other Dev. says that the Spinlock method is being used in some of their technologies and is saying that it was showing better results than the Linux Scheduler currently. What I find interesting is that you have 2 computer scientists that speak very informal to each other about this particular subject.

This article discusses some of the better Linux operating systems to run on older equipment. It lists the system requirements for each distribution and discusses the advantages of Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE). A good class project would be to find the oldest piece of hardware that can run one of these Linux distributions.

Linus Torvalds says to not use an Oracle file system because of their lawsuit with google using (stealing) java technology for the android. the lawsuit could cost google about 9 billion bucks. Linus says he wont merge ZFS code until he gets an official letter from Oracle's legal team saying he can.

Explains about how there is a proper drive temperatures for and for the solid-state drives that comes with temperature sensors with the installation or the newer updated version of Linux 5.6. There's the ATA SCT command transport that allows you to see the drives temperature and etc..

In this article it goes over 4 useful tools to monitor CPU and GPU temperature.
The first one is Glance and it uses psutil and/or hddtemp to check temperatures.The second is Sensors and it gets temps from all chips including CPU.
The third is HardInfo and it is a lightweight system profiler and benchmark tool designed for hardware analysis and report generation.
The fourth is i7z which is a tiny command-line utility that reports Intel Core i7, i5, i3 CPU information including temperatures.
The article goes through commands to install for all of them.
