LINUX

Week-13


Ubuntu VS Android


            Linux is a group of open source Unix-like operating systems which was initially developed by Linus Torvalds. I am gonna discuss briefly, the competition between Ubuntu and Android distributions. Ubuntu is a kind which is mostly recommended to new Linux users as it appears to be the old and the reliable one out there. While Android brings arguments from the users as it is rather not always the most user-friendly one and not the best in terms of privacy.


Ubuntu is a free and open-source operating system that is developed and updated by Canonical and a group of developers. It is entirely sponsored by Canonical to ensure continued support and development. 
Android, on the other hand, is Google's closed source. Google holds the Android name and logo, and it does not allow uncertified devices to run the OS, keeping the users within the Google ecosystem.


In terms of security, they both aspire to be secure with few permissions, but Android has a flaw in the Play Store, which may be used to download malicious software.


Overall, Android is an example of open source software that has been commercialized for monetary benefit, therefore contradicting the purpose of Linux.

 Accessibility to the technology Week-14 Gaming Players with physical limitations are something that some developers have a hard time accommodating. To excel in many games, you'll need quick reflexes and rapid, precise inputs. And, especially in multiplayer settings, difficulty and other gaming features cannot be adjusted just for one person, as this could be exploited. Input controllers must be modified to do this.  Everyone can like gaming. Some games can be less approachable than others, but the medium as a whole must be accessible. When cost-effective, it's critical for developers to take steps to cater for a wide range of abilities. When that isn't possible, input elements that are specifically intended can aid.

 Three interesting examples of IT solutions from different decades Week-1 Touch ID It is an electronic fingerprint recognition feature which is created and published by Apple Inc in the late 2013's. It enables users to unlock devices, make purchases and authenticate Apple pay, etc. It first came out after the first release of Iphone 5S. In 2015, Apple introduced a faster second-generation version with a new Iphone 6s. Then in 2016, Apple integrated the Touch Id to the Macbook Pro on the right side of its touch bar. It is also used on Ipads since the Ipad Air 2 which was the first ever Ipad that had Touch Id. Users can create more than one fingerprints and use them at a time. Fingerprint information is stored locally in a secure enclave on the Apple A7 and later chips, not in the cloud, a design choice intended to make it impossible for users or malicious attackers to externally access the fingerprint information. Google It began in January 1996 as a research project by Larry Page a

One new media component Week-3  Wikis Wikipedia is the leading wiki in today's world. It would help with your history homework, or art project. It is always there for you in case information about any specific topic is needed.  Today getting misinformed about any subject is easier than ever. Wikis are one of the best options to provide you with the quality information. It gives you the right to cheat on your exam, or get to know about an article that you were interested in. Unfortunately, this causes Enclypoedias to be forgotten completely. If we have to compare Encyclopedias and wikis and find out why people seem to be more comfortable choosing wikis then firstly, they have search engines integrated. Simply, you can just type the specific topic/subject you are searching for. This will save plenty of time as you are immediately directed to the content that you are looking for. Secondly, information can be added, edited, and deleted by anybody. So it is always intended that the info
