Maybe the repository where the latest version of the kernel is not available with the system's subscription because the system is subscribed to an EUS repository. EUS is used by organizations that want to stay on a minor or "dot" release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux for a longer period of time instead of moving to a new minor release.Īs an example, an organization may choose to use RHEL 7.6 EUS so that the systems can stay on the 7.6 packages, but still get security updates for a period of up to two years instead of moving to RHEL 7.7. There is an add-on for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription called Extended Update Support (EUS). As a result, the command yum list kernel is not showing the latest version of that kernel package branch locally because an update is not available from the Satellite server. This is accomplished with a “Content View.” It could be that the system subscribed to a Red Hat Satellite is registered to some "Content Views" which are not updated. Red Hat Satellite allows administrators to provide specific packages to systems within their organization. The system is connected to Red Hat Satellite. But there are several reasons why your system’s view of the latest available kernel may be different than the one available directly from the Red Hat Customer Portal: So it should be the question of only seeing what the latest version of the kernel package is available for that system using yum list kernel. The Red Hat team makes the latest kernel version available in the RHEL repos. The RHEL administrator, with a system that has the latest available kernel installed, should be confident that the system has updates installed that comply with their organization’s requirements. The full command to list the kernel package available is: Where to download the latest kernel? The latest kernel for a specific version of RHEL should be installed within the OS, using the yum command. Getting the latest kernel for your RHEL systems You can browse and download Red Hat released kernels at this url. They are not from the same branch and are not intended for RHEL7.6. There are newer kernel versions available in other branches, such as kernel version 3.10.0-1062 (for RHEL7.7), and 4.18.0-80 (for RHEL8). Looking at the kernel packages in Figure 2, one can see that at the time of writing, the latest version of that kernel package's branch 3.10.0-957 is 3.10.0-957.38.3, found here: The Red Hat distributed kernel package has its own versioning, in this case, 957. From an operating system point of view, that kernel is built from source 3.10.0 available from the kernel package. That means, for example with RHEL7.6, that it shipped with the kernel version branch 3.10.0-957. RHEL7.6).įigure 1: Listing of RHEL releases with kernel versions This page in the customer portal shows the kernel version "branch" associated with a release of RHEL ( e.g. When Red Hat releases a major or minor update to RHEL, they ship it with a specific branch of the kernel version. A better approach would be to understand where to get that information about the latest kernel version for a given version of RHEL. ![]() Unfortunately, that might only be valid at the time of writing. Some users, trying to be helpful, gave a specific version of the kernel package. What is the latest kernel version for my version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)?

![]() ![]() She created a simple poll for Tumblr users, then left work and took the subway home. Holderness showed the picture to other members of the BuzzFeed social media team, who immediately began arguing about the dress colours. Later that night, the number of notes increased tenfold. Tom Christ, Tumblr's director of data, said at its peak the page was receiving 14,000 views a second (or 840,000 views per minute), well over the normal rates. She dismissed it, but checked the page near the end of her workday and saw that it had received around 5,000 notes, a large amount for Tumblr. It was amazing to watch this move from a local thing to, like, a massive international phenomenon.Ĭates Holderness, who ran the Tumblr page for BuzzFeed at the site's New York offices, received a message from McNeill asking for help resolving the colour dispute of the dress. And you could see it in my Twitter notifications because people started having conversations in, like, Spanish and Portuguese and then Japanese and Chinese and Thai and Arabic. It went from New York media circle-jerk Twitter to international. The most interesting thing to me is that it traveled. ![]() A few days later, on 26 February, McNeill reposted the image to her blog on Tumblr, creating further public discussion surrounding the image. They said they almost failed to make it on stage because they were caught up discussing the dress. Even after seeing that the dress was "obviously blue and black" in reality, the musicians remained preoccupied by the photograph. On the day of the wedding, Caitlin McNeill, a friend of the bride and groom, performed with her band at the wedding. For a week, the debate became well known in Colonsay, a small island community. Īfter Grace posted the photograph on Facebook, her friends also disagreed some saw it as white with gold, while others saw it as blue with black. However, Grace told her mother she perceived it in the photograph as white with gold lace. The dress was coloured blue with black lace. Bleasdale intended to wear the dress at the wedding and sent the photograph to Grace. In February 2015, about a week before the wedding of Grace and Keir Johnston, of Colonsay, Scotland, the bride's mother, Cecilia Bleasdale, took a photograph of a dress at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet north of Chester, England. The retailer of the dress, Roman Originals, reported a surge in sales and produced a one-off version in white and gold sold for charity. Within a week, more than ten million tweets had mentioned the dress. The dress was black and blue, but the conditions of the photograph caused many to perceive it as white and gold, creating debate. The phenomenon originated in a photograph of a dress posted on the social networking service Facebook. The phenomenon revealed differences in human colour perception and became the subject of scientific investigations into neuroscience and vision science. Viewers disagreed on whether the dress was blue and black, or white and gold. The dress was a 2015 online viral phenomenon centred on a photograph of a dress. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thus, the most important bit of advice I can dispense for those who must venture beyond Step 1 is this: make a complete backup of your system to provide a source for files and information that might otherwise go missing. Some steps involve additional work to restore the prior state of your PC more or less back to where it was prior to taking that step. The amount of time and effort required for each step goes up incrementally. (The only remaining step at that point would be to replace the system on which the software is running, and that’s outside the scope of this story.) ![]() Keep working through the steps in order until you reach the end, and you are bound to fix the vast majority of problems. If that doesn’t fix what’s broken, advance to the next step. The idea is to first try the initial step in the sequence. That said, most of these approaches also work with Windows 7 and 8 (with slight variations), and the advice here applies almost identically to Windows 11, which Microsoft is gradually rolling out to Windows 10 users whose hardware can support the new OS via Windows Update from October 2021 into early 2022. I’ve now updated it for the latest versions of Windows 10. ![]() I initially wrote this story in 2016, but as Windows 10 has evolved over time, some of the steps have changed a bit. When that happens, users would be well advised to break out the following routine to help them set things back to rights. This often takes the form of worsening performance or stability, and can originate from damage to, loss of, or corruption of Windows system files typically found in the C:\Windows folder hierarchy. Sometimes a Windows 10 system starts misbehaving to the point where repair is needed. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks to its multi-platform support, players on Windows, macOS, and Linux can all enjoy loads of features that the program offers. Thankfully, for Minecraft players curious about Lunar, it’s an incredibly easy program to install as we saw in the blog above. These mods generally comprise the PvP and FPS-related enhancements, which come in handy while playing on the Minecraft PvP servers.Īlthough Lunar isn’t the only third-party Minecraft client out on the web ( Badlion is also widely popular), it’s one of the best. Players may now customize the installed client mods by accessing the menu with the Lunar logo button at the bottom. Once you are successfully through the above steps, Minecraft should be able to launch it, and the player will see the Lunar Client menu as shown below in the image. Then the client will download some of the necessary files, so it may take longer than usual sometimes. Once you have selected the preferred version, the players must click the launch button. Lunar Client currently supports Minecraft versions as follows 1.7, 1.8, 1.12, 1.15, 1.16, and 1.17. Players must ensure that enough RAM has been allocated for this (allocate ⅓ of the machine’s available RAM).Ĭlick the down arrow button□ beside the Launch button so that you can select the version to be launched. Navigate to the settings section of the launcher, as shown below. The following guide can help you with this: Now, head over to Permissions and check the last item Execute then Allow the executing file as a program.Īfter the installation, now we can open the application How to Use a Lunar Client?īefore launching the lunar client on Minecraft, players should configure client settings to ensure the best possible gaming experience. You can locate that option at the end of ‘Properties’ by right-clicking on the pop-up. But don’t forget to change the file permissions in order to allow its execution as a program. ![]() If you are using Linux, the client is distributed as an AppImage file which doesn’t require any installations. ![]() After proceeding from this, the client installer should automatically take care of the rest of the installation process. Once the Lunar client installer setup starts running, players will need to read the license agreement and accept it by tapping the ‘I agree’ tab. Once it is finished downloading, either it will open automatically or you’ll have to double click on it for it to run. Then the Lunar Client installer application should begin downloading. The first and foremost step of installing and downloading Lunar Client is to Visit the Lunar Client () and proceed with the download option with the preferred operating system: Windows, Mac, or Linux. Let’s have a look at how to download lunar clients in a hassle-free manner. However, since the client is unofficial to Minecraft’s creator so Lunar needs to be downloaded and installed manually. With Lunar client, we can access 60 distinct modifications in a single install, powered with lots of features that keep being added continuously. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, you'll get more with Google search results, such as recent tweets, People Also Ask and videos, than you'll get with DuckDuckGo. As with Google, you can narrow your search to images, videos, news, maps and shopping.ĭuckDuckGo's results pages look fairly similar to Google's, with knowledge panels, news carousels and related searches. Type your query into the search bar and get your results. How to use DuckDuckGoĭuckDuckGo isn't all that different from any other search engine. If you prefer to use DuckDuckGo as your default search engine within Safari, Firefox, or Brave, follow the steps on DuckDuckGo's help pages.

Please note that because the browser is still in Beta mode with more to come, this is not meant as a review but rather as a preliminary overview. NOTE: According to DuckDuckGo, browser extensions are planned for the future. However, I don’t see this as a major issue because the browser is already fitted with most required features anyway. No Extensions: At this time there are no extensions available for the DuckDuckGo browser. There should be an option for users to whitelist those sites they visit regularly to assist with ad revenue and help keep those sites alive. Again, in my opinion, this is a serious omission. No Option To Whitelist Sites: At the moment, all ads and all trackers are blocked on all sites with no option to whitelist certain sites. However, as I mentioned earlier, the browser is still in Beta mode so, hopefully, that feature is in the pipeline. This feature is, in my opinion, an absolute must-have for serious privacy advocates. No Browser Fingerprinting Protection: For a self-confessed privacy-centric browser I am very surprised that there is no protection against browser fingerprinting included. It’s a real eye-opener seeing just how much tracking is involved with each and every website. When visiting a website, clicking a shield icon at the left of the address bar displays a list of ads and trackers that have been blocked on that site. I found it to be quick to load with no rendering issues and, overall, it performs very well. ![]() I’ve tested the browser’s performance over a relatively short period of time but have visited numerous websites during that time. Of course, you do need to provide DuckDuckGo with your real email address so messages can be forwarded. It’s very simple to set up and works a treat. There is a lot to like about the browser and I particularly like the feature to hide one’s real email address by setting up a email address. *For more details and links to download please visit: DuckDuckGo Windows Browser Email Protection: hides your real email address with unique addresses when signing up for things online.Cookie Pop-up Management: automatically selects the most private options available and hides cookie consent pop-ups.Smarter Encryption: ensures that more of the websites you visit and the links you click are encrypted.Duck Player: a YouTube player that lets you watch YouTube videos without privacy-invading ads.Secure password manager: secure and easy-to-use password manager to automatically remember and fill in login credentials.If you want to stay logged into a site, you also have the option to selectively “Fireproof” specific sites so your log-ins remain persistent. Ads and tracking are blocked by default and all browsing data for a session can be deleted on closing by clicking an icon labeled the “Fire Button”. As you’d expect, DuckDuckGo is the default search engine and, at this time, cannot be changed. ![]() ![]() In older versions of Windows, the booting time was too long and users had to wait for a long time to start using the PS, so Microsoft tweaked the Windows XP OS and reduced the booting time without compromising the performance. The use of liquid crystal displays was becoming popular as they were cheaper and more efficient than the conventional CRT(cathode ray tubes) displays, to support these emerging display features Microsoft improved the support for LCDs by tweaking the OS and has incorporated support features for LCDs in Windows XP. Support for Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) Well, in Windows XP, the Explorer has been improved and new features like image previewing and task panes have been added to make file accessing easier. Managing files and data on a PC is a very needed role of a good OS, so Windows has natively incorporated Windows Explorer in Windows OS. Graphics is a very basic component for modern computers and Windows OS is based on a graphical user interface and needs graphics memory to run and function, so Microsoft upgraded their graphics software package to DirectX8 and later improved it to DirectX 9 to improve the graphics performance providing users with good graphical freedom. Microsoft offered 30-day free trial to users and after which the user needs to use the activation key to access the OS. This is a simple system that was implemented in the XP OS to prevent people from using the OS components and claiming ownership.

Therefore, mod at your own risk.Before beginning the guide, you must know the risks of Switch hacking: EVERY time you modify your system, there is always the potential for an UNRECOVERABLE brick. While Android is open source and legal to mod in most cases, Nintendo Switch is not. ![]() It’s a weighty decision that comes with both pros and cons. Like jailbreaking or rooting mobile devices, modding allows your Switch to perform things never intended to do. In closing, modding can open your Switch to various games and applications previously unavailable on your device. All updates after this will prevent any tampering with the console’s code. Regardless of the process, you’ll want to read the directions carefully and perhaps multiple times before proceeding with the mod on your Switch.Įven if you have a patched Switch, future versions of these modding tools may crack the patch, and if you want to wait, do not update your version beyond 7.0.1. Search on Google for Switch mod RCM, Nereba, or Caffeine to see the step-by-step method to perform the mod. In addition, consoles with firmware version 1.0.0 can be modded using Nereba, and versions 2.0.0 to 4.1.0 are patchable with another software called Caffeine. You can find the firmware version of your device by going to the System Settings, tapping on System, and then scrolling down to see the Update Version.Īll firmware versions of unpatched Switch consoles can be modded using the Recovery Mode or RCM method. How to Mod a Qualifying Nintendo Switchĭepending on your firmware, there are several methods to mod an unpatched Nintendo Switch. If you don’t like looking at lists or are at a second-hand store and want to check if the console on the shelf is moddable, you can use this SSNC serial number checker tool or try the “” serial number checker. There’s a slight chance you can mod it, but the patch usually closes the vulnerability. Patched devices mean that it’s highly likely that modding will not work on the console.
