    FreeBSD vs. Linux: 5 Factors When Considering FreeBSD vs. Linux: Packages
    [13:19] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-klarasystems.com | 5 Factors When Considering FreeBSD vs. Linux: Packages [13:19] schestowitz
    [13:19] schestowitz

    Package managers on various Unix distributions make it easy for system administrators to manage the software installed on the operating system. Packages are an easy, straightforward way to installe software that avoids time-consuming configure, compile, install sequences. The popularity of package managers permeates all Unix distributions. Yet there are subtle differences in the approach that Linux vs. FreeBSD take [13:19] schestowitz in handling packages. How does Linux compare to FreeBSDs way of managing packages? We have identified key points to consider in the software lifecycle management of both in the article below.

    The State of IoT December 2022

    [13:22] schestowitz

    Welcome to the December edition of the monthly State of IoT series. While we ended 2021 with a rosy outlook prompted by rising unit shipments and hardware spending, 2022 ended amidst supply chain disruptions, economic sanctions and an ongoing war. Despite this, we will likely remember 2022 as a transitional year in the ever-increasing adoption of embedded and IoT devices. Cybersecurity vulnerabilities in [13:22] schestowitz IoT devices, smart homes and a few major announcements took the headlines. Without further ado, lets dive straight into the most prominent news across the IoT landscape from the last month of what proved to be an exciting year.

    The system is based around a single Arduino Nano board, which is responsible for taking in sensor data and outputting the phrase that best matches the inputs. The orientation of the hand is ascertained by reading values from the X, Y, and Z axes of a single accelerometer and applying a small change based upon prior calibration. Meanwhile, resistive flex sensors spanning the length of each finger produce a [13:24] schestowitz different voltage level according to the bends extent.

    A 4-minute guide to Java loops
    [14:17] schestowitz
    [14:17] schestowitz

    A while loop performs a set of tasks for as long as some predefined condition is true. This is considered a control structure that directs the flow of a program. It's a way for you to tell your code what to do by defining a condition that it can test, and take action based on what it finds. The two kinds of while loops in Java are while and do while.
