On this tip we will revitalize an old Windows Vista computer with Ubuntu Studio. The Vista OS was slow on the computer and the system became slower over use as usually happens on a windows computer.
This computer is being re-purposed to use for creative design. We will take a computer that was worthless and breath new life. There are certainly distros that are better for an old computer, but the owner of the system has specific goals and we are using Linux to bring new life to this machine.
If you need help putting Linux on an old computer (or a new one), let me know!

This week in Privacy News, we see that Apple has been scanning email for CSAM since 2019, Google Health gets distributed throughout the rest of the company, and most government agencies use Facial Recognition Technology. We also see someone take responsibility for the T-Mobile breach, some Apple security warnings, and more.

We are in a world where even our televisions come with privacy policies. I even bought a universal remote that requires acceptance of a policy and an online account. Wow.
