Fix the “The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT” WordPress Error

This is pretty straightforward, you’ll see this error when updating or installing a plugin.

[enlighter linenumbers=”true”]The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT[/enlighter]

Basically the file WordPress is trying to download is either corrupt or you don’t have the PHP curl module installed. So simply install it, for Ubuntu this is:

[enlighter linenumbers=”true”]apt-get install php-curl[/enlighter]

or

[enlighter linenumbers=”true”]apt-get install php7.3-curl[/enlighter]

Western Digital developing 20,000RPM drives

That's right, this isn't a joke.
The new drive will be very similar to the recently-released VelociRaptor, in that it’ll be a 2.5in drive with a custom 3.5in housing built around it. Details are incredibly light at this stage, given that the product is still in development, and we don’t even have a release timeframe at the moment. However, our sources said that the drive will be ‘silent’ – that’s the last thing I would have expected from a drive with platters spinning at 20,000 RPM. Western Digital is apparently working on silencing the beast by improving the housing technology, which will now not just act as a heatsink, but also as a noise cancelling device. We’d also hope that the drive enclosure has some vibration dampening technology as well, because that’s also likely to be a problem given the high spindle speeds.
