Ah, the Common Hardware Reference Platform, IBM’s and Apple’s ill-fated attempt at taking on the PC market with a reference PowerPC platform anybody could build and expand upon while remaining (mostly) compatible with one another. Sadly, like so many other things Apple was trying to do before Steve Jobs returned, it never took off, and even Apple itself never implemented CHRP in any meaningful way. Only a few random IBM and Motorola computers ever fully implemented it, and Apple didn’t get any further than basic CHRP support in Mac OS 8, and some PowerPC Macs were based on CHRP, without actually being compatible with it. We’re roughly three decades down the line now, and pretty much everyone except weird nerds like us have forgotten CHRP was ever even a thing, but Linux has continued to support CHRP all this time. This support, too, though, is coming to an end, as Michael Ellerman has informed the Linux kernel community that they’re thinking of getting rid of it. Only a very small number of machines are supported by CHRP in Linux: the IBM B50, bplan/Genesi’s Pegasos/Pegasos2 boards, the Total Impact briQ, and maybe some Motorola machines, and that’s it. Ellerman notes that these machines seem to have zero active users, and anyone wanting to bring CHRP support back can always go back in the git history. CHRP is one of the many, many footnotes in computing history, and with so few machines out there that supported it, and so few machines Linux’ CHRP support could even be used for, it makes perfect sense to remove this from the kernel, while obviously keeping it in git’s history in case anyone wants to work with it on their hardware in the future. Still, it’s always fun to see references to such old, obscure hardware and platforms in 2024, even if it’s technically sad news.

You can configure a lock down date for account records and interval meter data, known as transactional data, for your organization. If a lock down date is set, manual capture and data import into accounts for any date prior to the lock down date is not allowed.When you manually enter data for a period prior to the lock down date, the following error will be displayed on the Capture Data form:The items date precedes the data lock down date and changes are not allowed.If you upload data with account transactions that are dated before the lock down date, the file is rejected and an error appears on the Files Processed – Accounts & Setup page.Note:Even if only a portion of the data in a file is for transaction dates before the lock-down date, the entire file is not loaded.If the data is locked-down, the accruals made prior to that lock-down date will not be changed.Hierarchy (consolidation rules) and factors can be changed for an account after the lock-down date.

The event put on at Barking and Dagenham College by the CyberHub Trust was aimed at inspiring them to look at the digital and cyber industry. “These events bridge the gap between education and industry,” CyberHub’s chief executive Michael Klonowski explained. “Our mission is to ensure young people are aware of careers in cyber security.” Staged at the college’s East London Institute of Technology campus, the event included IBM’s robotics sessions where students had to programme a robot to navigate an obstacle course with coding skills. The activities were organised by IBM, BAE Systems and the Civil Aviation Authority while talks were given by the Met Police, National Crime Agency and the Department for Science and Technology about the need for cyber security. Kenney Jones, a 17-year-old from Upminster, said: “Hearing about careers in cyber security opened my mind, while learning interactively was fantastic.” Other activities included a laptop “bomb disposal” exercise in technology problem-solving, a “criminal minds” forensic challenge testing analytical abilities in real scenarios and an immersive headset Taser challenge to sharpen decision-making and risk assessment.

Use Kanban-style boards to manage issues. Create a new board from scratch or use an existing board as the basis for the new board.You can create a board that is visible to you or one that is public, that is, visible to anyone in the organization.

In IBM® Envizi ESG Suite, you can create an issue to track a problem. You can assign the issue to someone and you can upload supporting information to the issue.

This presentation outlines the process for administrators to set a minimum operating system (OS) version limit for enrolling Android devices using MaaS360. We will explore two primary methods for achieving this : 1. The Compliance Rules method, which checks for OS version compatibility after device enrollment, and the 2. Minimum OS Version for Enrollment method, which prevents devices with unsupported OS versions from enrolling altogether, including how to customize error messages for users who attempt to enroll devices that do not meet the requirements. We will see how these settings enhance device security and streamline the enrollment process, ensuring that only compliant devices access organizational resources.

Computational advances and AI to support patients in Thailand and ASEAN Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital (SiPH), operating under Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital in Thailand, has announced a successful transformation of its Pathology Information System (PIS) using advanced computational technologies and artificial intelligence. In collaboration with IBM, the system now integrates laboratory workflows, image scanning systems, and centralised data processing, establishing a cohesive approach for pathological cancer diagnosis and laying the foundation for SiPH’s future advancements in cancer diagnostics. Developed by IBM Supply Chain Industry 4.0 team in Singapore, the system simplifies data entry using smart forms and speech-to-text AI models, seamlessly integrating tissue specimen information with high-resolution images from slide scanners. These images undergo artificial intelligence (AI)-powered analysis using algorithms from SiPH and AI inferencing capabilities of IBM Power10 MMA. This streamlined process gives pathologists real-time access to integrated data, allowing them to quickly and accurately diagnose potential cancer cases. SiPH’s newly transformed PIS system now empowers pathologists to focus on critical aspects of cancer diagnosis. The system’s automated workflows and AI-driven slide image analysis, currently piloted for prostate cancer, streamlines the identification of potential cancerous tissues. By automatically processing and feeding diagnostic results back into the system, the platform enables doctors to concentrate on high-risk cases, significantly improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.

As companies look to increase their investments in sustainability-related technology, the survey found that the vast majority executives are confident in the potential for AI to support their sustainability efforts. For the study, IBM’s State of Sustainability Readiness Report 2024, IBM commissioned a survey by Morning Consult of nearly 2,800 business leaders, including Vice Presidents, Directors, and C-suite executives, across 15 industries and 9 countries.

In the tech sector, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna is positioning himself as a key proponent of deregulation, advocating for a business environment that prioritizes agility, innovation, and reduced government oversight. Krishna’s comments resonate with the broader sentiment that a Trump-led administration might ease these pressures, fostering a climate where businesses can pursue innovation without the looming threat of regulatory roadblocks.
