Nutanix announced the general availability of its integrated private cloud as-a-service solution with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), as well as a new integration with the popular IT management platform ServiceNow.
Nutanix’s strategy has been to integrate its hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software with all of the big server-hardware vendors in addition to selling its own hardware appliances. Nutanix shared the news at its .NEXT conference in Copenhagen.
HPE’s services are sold under the GreenLake brand, its metered on-premises service meant to counter the allure of the cloud. Customers can get ProLiant hardware under GreenLake without massive upfront acquisition costs and pay only for their use of the hardware.
INNEBANDY. Den gångna säsongen blev IF Frams sista i det finska seriesystemet. På lördag spelar man istället sin första match i division 6 Uppland.
Dessutom väntar det säsongspremiärer för ytterligare tre åländska lag.
Efter flera säsonger i Finland, på division 3- och 4-nivå, tar herrlaget IF Fram nu steget över till Sverige och division 6 i Uppland – något Nya Åland kunde avslöja i början av juni.
– Det är på spelarnas initiativ. När frågan kom upp hade vi en omröstning i laget och då ville majoriteten hellre spela i Sverige. Säkerligen mycket på grund av resorna. Spelar man i Finland så blir det betydligt längre resor, tidsmässigt i alla fall, förklarade IF Frams verksamhetsledare Simon Sjöström i samband med den artikeln.
Upplandsserien division 6 består av två zoner, den västra och den östra. IF Fram har placerats i den östra, vilket innebär att det under säsongen kommer att vankas lokalderbyn då åländska herrlaget Våsc också ingår där.
På lördag har IF Fram säsongspremiär på hemmaplan. För motståndet står SK Vide U. Matchen spelas i Ålands idrottscenter, Godby med start klockan 14.
Förutom IF Fram har ytterligare tre åländska Upplandsserielag seriepremiärer att se fram emot på lördag. Damlaget Våsc (division 3) spelar borta mot FBC Uppsala Ungdom och herrlaget Våsc (division 6 östra) borta mot Tobo/Örbyhus FF U. Vad gäller det nya juniorlaget Våsc/IF Fram (Pantamera Pojkar röd division 4) så tar man emot Alunda IBF på hemmaplan, en match som spelas i Ålands idrottscenter med start klockan 16.

In a new memo to employees obtained by Bloomberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook is defending Apple’s decision to remove the HKmap.live app from the App Store. Cook says the decision was based on “credible information” from the Hong Kong Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau and users in Hong Kong.

Det var redan våren 2016 som det kom uppgifter om att brittiska Dyson, kända för sina påslösa dammsugare, skulle ge sig i kast med att utveckla en eller flera elbilar. Knappt två år senare fick vi höra att det handlade om tre olika elbilar som dammsugartillverkaren skulle ta fram, bland annat en modell som sågs som en Tesla Model X-konkurrent. Så sent som i maj i år dök skisser, som bifogats med övrigt material som skickats till det brittiska patentverket, upp och som visade lite vad världen hade att vänta sig när en dammsugartillverkare ger sig på utveckling av elbilar.
Men nu är det stopp. Grundaren av företaget, James Dyson, har i ett företagsinternt utskick berättat att elbilsprojektet är nedlagt. Brittiska Autocar har tagit del av utskickat där James Dyson beskriver att de har utvecklat en fantastisk elbil med geniala lösningar som håller fast vid Dysons filosofier, men att de, trots hårda försök, inte längre kan se projektet som affärsmässigt hållbart.
James Dyson skriver också att de har försökt finna en köpare till elbilsprojekte, dock utan att vara lyckosamma. I stället kommer de nu att gå vidare med den teknik som projektet fått fram och som sägs kosta Dyson över 30 miljarder kronor i investeringar. Det handlar bland annat om automatiserad tillverkningsteknik och solid-state-batterier.
Apple will officially release last quarter’s earnings results at the end of this month but analytics firm Canalys is out today with data on PC shipments for Q3. While the entire market saw shipment growth, Apple’s Mac lineup also saw a YoY gain, keeping its market share steady just under 8% of worldwide shipments.

VMware has wrapped up its $2.1 billion buy of cloud-native endpoint-security vendor Carbon Black and in the process created a new security business unit that will target cybersecurity and analytics to protect networked enterprise resources.
When VMware announced the acquisition in August, its CEO Pat Gelsinger said he expected Carbon Black technology to be integrated across VMware’s product families such as NSX networking software and vSphere, VMware's flagship virtualization platform. “Security is broken and fundamentally customers want a different answer in the security space. We think this move will be an opportunity for major disruption,” he said.

En förare som var inblandad i en mindre kollision i Mariehamn strax efter 19.30 på torsdagskvällen försökte smita – men en polispatrull som såg kollisionen följde efter föraren i nästan 20 minuter innan föraren kunde gripas i stan.
Flera trafikanter som den flyende föraren mötte längs vägen var nära om att vara med om en olycka. Polisen vet inte ännu om den misstänkta föraren körde på någonting längs vägen.
Därför vill polisen att trafikanter som upplevt att de var i fara och personer som kan ha lidit egendomsskador tar kontakt med polisen. Telefonnumret är 040 8479550.
Polisen ger mer information om händelsen på fredag förmiddag.
In what would be the world’s fifth-largest economy by itself, at least 800,000 but as many as 2 million residents have already lost power — on purpose — as California’s largest utility provider cut the power supply in fear of faulty equipment sparking wildfires.
It’s kind of mind-boggling how big it could get: 22 of the state’s 58 counties are affected by a “public-safety power shutoff” in the northern half of the state, ranging from Santa Cruz to Tahoe National Forest to Redding. The Santa Ana winds that usually come into full force in the fall, combined with dry conditions, are apparently putting the area at risk of recreating last year’s Camp Fire, the deadliest and most destructive in state history. Powerful winds, ultra-dry conditions, and a downed power line — after the bankrupt utility company had warned it might shut off power but did not — contributed to that original spark. PG&E, the utility, said these widespread shutoffs might become “the new normal.”
No stop lights, no cellphone charging (but you can use your phone flashlight to find other flashlights, as this police department recommended), no classes, medications shuttled to other hospitals, and more. And this could stretch on for another five days or more.

There are a few places people can go for reliable information about this — though in this increasingly paywalled world, some are free, some not so much. The shutoffs are scary and serious, and national and local outlets are paying a lot of attention. The crisis brings up an important question that arises during a hurricane or other natural disaster, when some news outlets turn off their paywall:
If we're going to have news that is paid for by audiences, we have to talk about the news that should never be behind paywalls. [https:]]

The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times are tracking the outages with live updates and maps of the outage areas, though those paywalls are still operating as normal. Both Timeses are in the midst of a push to round up new subscribers in the California. (The West Coast Times for obvious reasons, but California is also the largest market for digital subscriptions at the East Coast Times.)
But other California papers like the (formerly San Jose) Mercury News and East Bay Times, both part of the MNG-owned Bay Area News Group, have moved their outage map and information beyond their paywall. The Chico Enterprise-Record, which covered the heart of the Camp Fire last year and is also part of BANG, is doing the same with coverage by a Report for America corps member. A Mercury News article points out:
We are providing free access to this article. Please consider supporting local journalism like this by purchasing a subscription. Click here for our 99-cent, 1-month trial offer.
The San Francisco Chronicle, owned by Hearst, which was called out in that above tweet for having paywalled map access, now has a “support free map access” button on its map that leads to a donation box via LaterPay, a German startup that began as a semi-micropayments processor.
The local TV stations, of course, offer up free information with many pop-ups; CNN is promoting its text-only site on its running updates page about the outages, though you currently have to scroll past 50 other bullet-pointed links to find the first California story on the lite site, beneath “Lauren Conrad welcomes 2nd child.” Google Maps is sharing information (including a link to the Mercury News’ coverage), and PG&E’s map is still there. Digital outlets like Berkeleyside and student newspapers like the Daily Californian are putting out information on the crisis for free as well. But local legacy newspapers, despite their cuts, are still putting out more local journalism on average than other forms of media. (How to actually do this reporting while caught in the middle of a crisis, as the Chico Enterprise-Record faced during the Camp Fire last year, is another question.)
The communities impacted by these power outages are in a time of need. They need information about their power, their friends and family nearby, their workplaces, and their options. Local and national outlets are providing this information, but at what cost?
Many Americans think local news outlets are doing just fine without their support, a Pew study found earlier this year. Paywalls are not going to go away, but a conversation could and should be started (now, if not already) about the relationship between paywalls and critically important information like the power outage updates. Maybe it’s time, while outlets are providing help to residents in need, to gently remind them that they can use some help, too. Is a stringent paywall worth the added frustration that a consumer gets in a public safety power outage?
Meanwhile, it’s probably a good time to note a print newspaper doesn’t require batteries or a power adapter.
