Today's Story Highlights

Tech Strides, Tech Worries and Tech Visions: ECT News Roundtable, Episode 1
If you're turned off by the mere thought of talking heads vying to speak
the loudest or the longest in a TV "discussion" of some pressing issue
of the day, read on for a refreshing dose of sanity. ECT News Network
recruited five smart people with plenty to say about the state of
technology, and we gave them plenty of time to say it. The result is a
far-ranging intercourse.

Samsung Debuts Sleek Galaxy Chromebook
Samsung introduced a high-end Galaxy Chromebook at CES 2020 in Las
Vegas. The new model could serve as an extension of the company's
smartphone lineup and spawn a premium device demand in the category.
Samsung aims to position it as the company's flagship Chromebook to meet
potential demand for a more useful and powerful multipurpose premium
mobile device.

New Feren OS Does Plasma Better
Feren OS now is built around Ubuntu Linux 18.04 and the KDE Plasma
desktop instead of Linux Mint. The Cinnamon desktop version could retire
later this year. The Feren OS community has released a mostly
maintenance snapshot update for the Feren OS Cinnamon version. This new
Feren OS release meets the goal of mixing the Cinnamon desktop with the
more capable KDE Plasma 5 to make a better distro.

CES 2020: Prepare to Be Amazed
Every year I look forward to CES being over. That's not because it isn't
interesting -- it is. It's because the place is a nightmare to get
around, thanks to some incredibly stupid decisions that turn Las Vegas
into a gridlocked mess. Coming right after the holidays, it destroys
more family vacations than any other event short of a long driving trip
with very young children.

Don't Expect Too Much From Electric Trucks
With the rise of electric cars, it was only a matter of time before
electric trucks hit the market. Several electric vehicle startups --
including Bollinger, Lordstown Motors, Rivian and Workhorse -- have been
working on developing electric pickup trucks for several years, but none
have come to market yet. However, it was Tesla's announcement of the
Cybertruck that ignited interest in the market.
