Monday Random Stuff…

New Intel Graphics Drivers
“This release contains security updates.”
Braswell, 4th and 5th generations: version 15.40, Download & Info
6th Gen: version 15.45, Download & Info
If you are on Windows 10 and using Skylake CPUs or newer I would use the DCH drivers instead:
Newest Intel DCH Drivers are v27.20.100.9168

Reader Question
Q – Why did you stop using openSUSE?
A –
1 – For me openSUSE has become less stable and less desirable over time. I’m not alone. While not scientific, IMHO the Distrowatch page hit ranking offers good insight into what people think about each distro:
Distrowatch Page Hit Rankings for openSUSE
2014: #4, corporate merger, BTRFS now default FS
2015: #4, openSUSE Leap 1st released November, 2015
2016: #4
2017: #6
2018: #9, sold to investment company
2019: #11
2020: #14

2 – IMHO Linux hasn’t lived up to it’s potential: https://www.google.com/search?q=linux+failed

What Are You Streaming?
It’s beginning to get hard for my wife and I to find something to watch. Over the last few months we were so desperate we did a speedy trip through:
Star Trek Enterprise, DS9, and Voyager. LA Law and Dallas too. We only watched the higher rated shows and use the IMDB app (Android) for that.
We watched Cougar Town and enjoyed that. Trying to put off watching Letterkenny on Hulu for a while.
We subscribed to PBS/Masterpiece through Amazon Prime. Both of use like British TV. Currently we are watching Endeavor and might do Inspector Morse after that.

    Before streaming there were 4 channels of TV here in the UK (unless you paid for Sky): BBC1 & 2, ITV, & Channel 4. They’ve all got websites that you can stream from now. channel4.com itv.com and bbc.co.uk/iplayer

    I don’t know if you can watch the shows outside the UK, I’m pretty sure the BBC won’t let you as the BBC is tax payer funded. There’s some good stuff in there, but you have to sift through a lot of rubbish. I guess it depends how you feel about the ethics of using a UK VPN
