Gigabyte has confirmed, via its Aorus livestream , that the recently launched Z490 motherboards come with support for Intel's future 11th-gen Rocket Lake-S processors.

Comet Lake-S just landed yesterday, so it might seem weird that there are already murmurs of its successor. Comet Lake-S marks the turning point for Intel since it's the first time that the Intel is introducing a 10-core processor

By default, any Raspberry Pi that uses Raspbian, the official OS, has “raspberrypi” as its hostname. So, whether you’re trying to use your Raspberry Pi as a web server or set up a headless Raspberry Pi that you access remotely, your board will always be listed as “raspberrypi” on your network. That’s not very helpful when you have multiple Raspberry Pi devices and can’t tell one from the other.
