Therefore, emulation requires more processing power than the original system offered....

What Is a Scratch Disk? A scratch disk is hard disk space that is temporarily allocated to any given running application to store transitional data. You can think of it as “over-spill” for your RAM. While it depends on the program itself, Photoshop uses the scratch disk to store slices of your documents and history panel. By default, Photoshop uses the same hard drive as the operating system. When you see the “Scratch Disks Are Full” error, this means that the scratch disk you assign is either completely full or (more likely) close to capacity....

Most modern distributions are running either “systemd-resolve” or “nscd.” There is a chance, though, that you might be working with “dnsmasq” or “BIND.” In any case, flushing the cache is usually as simple as restarting whichever daemon is running. systemd-resolve Ubuntu and other Debian-based distributions are probably running systemd-resolve. It’s a convenient DNS daemon that’s built in to systemd, which your system already utilizes for a ton of things. If you are running Ubuntu, everything is already set up and ready to go....

Their new browser, Opera Touch, adds some new features to simplify some basic browsing tasks and might attract your attention. Why a new browser?

While it has all the formatting tools to help you format your sheets, the one thing that I did not find in it was the feature that lets you apply alternate row colors. That way you can have a color for an even row and then another color for the odd row.

Since it introduces even more alien concepts to the desktop experience, people started to migrate to LXDE, XFCE, KDE, MATE and other environments/shells. But maybe you’re nostalgic and want Unity back. Or, maybe you’re actually one of the people that loved it for its way of doing things and feel more productive in it. These things are of course subjective....

In order to use these UNIX commands on your Mac, you need to have a utility called “Command Line Tools” installed on your machine. By default, OS X does not ship with this tool, and you need to manually install it. One way to install it is to install Xcode, and it will install these commands as well. But, Xcode is heavy (in filesize), and unless you are a developer, you won’t have any need for it....

With a Snap Snaps are a relatively new universal packaging format for Linux.

Only recently, Skype started packaging in a Snap format, which is a big deal because Skype has historically been one of the more problematic packages to manage on Linux. Hopefully, this step forward will help make Skype more reliable for Linux users....
