As the most prominent SBC lineup, the Raspberry Pi family is compatible with a battalion of operating systems. Full-fledged desktop distros such as Kali Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, and the all-powerful Raspberry Pi OS provide a highly versatile experience.

Adobe's suite of Creative Cloud applications has been the gold standard for creatives for decades. It's easy to see why these apps perform a lot of invaluable functions, and now they're supported by artificial intelligence with Firefly. However, the Creative Cloud portfolio is only available through a subscription model that is considered to be user-hostile by some. For example, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission brought official charges against Adobe for anti-consumer practices, which the Department of Justice used to file a court complaint. In other words, there are real reasons you might want to consider a move away from Adobe services.

In 1976, there was a big race to capitalize on the personal computer market. The main competitors were the Commodore PET, the Apple II, and the TRS-80. And while that early part of the personal computer war is long gone, people still like to replicate the computers of the early days using modern hardware. Now, someone has created the "Faux TRS-80," a project that combines 3D printing with a Raspberry Pi to bring the old into the new.

How badly were you affected by the CrowdStrike BSOD bug? While you may not have owned a PC that ran CrowdStrike, some people were either out of work or couldn't use their favorite services because of it. However, while people were sharing photos of big screens displaying bluescreens, there was still some news that made it to the presses. As such, if you were too busy checking out what was going on worldwide, here's a top-five collection of the news of the week.

A recent update to the CrowdStrike has caused BSODs worldwide. Despite all the chaos in the outside world, there's a very good chance your personal PC has been unaffected, as CrowdStrike is a business-oriented security program designed to protect organizations from breaches. However, you may have noticed degraded services when trying to use your favorite websites. Fortunately, those dark days may soon be over, as Microsoft has published a recovery tool that can put things back to normal.

A few days ago, Windows-based systems were rocked due to a bug with CrowdStrike causing BSODs across system-critical computers. 8.5 million computers were hit, which sounds like a lot on paper; however, it's a drop in the pond when compared to the total number of Windows devices there are in the wild. Unfortunately, those 8.5 million computers were more likely to be in charge of keeping important business systems alive, meaning that people saw reduced service and BSODs in public displays around the world. Despite this, it seems that some companies managed to escape...because their systems run on 30-year-old software.
