Released on Friday were the Linux 6.16.1 and Linux 6.15.10 stable kernel point releases. Notable there is an Intel i915 kernel graphics driver performance regression fix with some users having reported as much as a 30% performance hit on prior Linux kernel versions...

The Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit is an upcoming high-performance platform built for next-generation humanoid robotics, real-time sensor fusion, and generative AI at the edge. It delivers up to 2070 FP4 TFLOPS of AI performance, includes 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory, and supports high-throughput, low-latency connectivity for deploying large transformer and vision-language models in real-time […]

The non-profit has a new look but still stands up for the open web interview The Mozilla Foundation has changed its look, but its goals remain the same – supporting an internet that's open and inclusive, and that prioritizes the interests of people over corporations.…

One of the new exciting security features with Linux 6.17 is Attack Vector Controls as a means of easier managing CPU security mitigations depending upon the system/server use-case. It drastically simplifies CPU security mitigation management for only activating the mitigations relevant to intended use. With the Linux 6.17-rc2 kernel due out later today, Attack Vector Controls refines its logic around the Speculative Return Stack Overflow (SRSO) mitigation...

The Genesis IoT Discovery Lab has been launched on Crowd Supply as a modular prototyping system built around the AX22 connector standard. It eliminates the need for breadboards by allowing modules to lock directly into standardized ports, providing secure mechanical and electrical connections. The system is built around an ESP32-S3 board that provides six Genesis […]

While a proposal to replace the upstream X.Org Server with the XLibre fork was ultimately withdrawn prior to voting by the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo), a Fedora Copr repository has now surfaced for those wanting to try out this alternative X Server implementation on Fedora Linux...

The ELM11 is a scriptable microcontroller board from BrisbaneSilicon that runs Lua applications with hardware acceleration. It provides a REPL on each CPU core and combines rapid development in a high-level language with low-level control of timers, interrupts, and digital I/O. The board is powered by the Lumorphix processor, a softcore IP developed by BrisbaneSilicon […]

Espressif Systems ESP32-P4-EYE is a compact development kit in a mini digital camera form factor designed for real-time image processing and edge AI applications. Built on the ESP32-P4 SoC, the board targets smart cameras, IoT vision systems, and embedded HMI projects. The ESP32-P4-EYE integrates a wide set of peripherals for multimedia development, including a MIPI-CSI […]

Waveshare has launched the ESP32-P4-ETH, a multimedia development board built on Espressif’s ESP32-P4 SoC with an ESP32-C6 companion for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5. It supports Ethernet with optional PoE and targets multimedia, HMI, and edge computing, offering camera and display interfaces, audio features, and broad peripheral connectivity. The ESP32-P4 is built around a dual-core […]

The Ubuntu Release Management Team is pursuing a new concept called "Dangerous" Desktop Images that will ship leading-edge Snaps atop the latest Ubuntu daily development images...

A tiny model trained on trillions of tokens, ready for specialized tasks Google has unveiled a pint-sized new addition to its "open" large language model lineup: Gemma 3 270M.…

TeejeeTech takes Trixie, adds considerably more polish, yet comes in lighter Teejeetech turns its attention from Ubuntu to its progenitor. The result is a refined and attractive spin of Debian with Xfce.…

Before you start wondering about that age — yes, that’s 100000 in binary, or 0x20 years in hexadecimal. And as we all know, round numbers simply look cooler. ???? Debian was founded on 1993-08-16, which makes today our 0x20 anniversary.

While the Raspberry Pi 5 is a great and popular Arm single board computer, some elements of getting the hardware support upstream have lagged behind just as was also the case with prior generations of the Raspberry Pi SBC. One of the enablement bits now inching its way toward the mainline kernel is Ethernet support on the Raspberry Pi 5...

The GNOME 49 beta release is out this Friday evening as the next stepping stone on the path to GNOME 49 in September. Making the GNOME 49 Beta release even more notable is that it's the 28th birthday of GNOME...

Meanwhile, the clock's ticking for the previous FOSS Redis Redis 8.2 is FOSS again, albeit under a different license, and has multiple performance enhancements. Meanwhile, Redis 7.2, the last of the old FOSS versions, is nearing its end of life. New version, or new Valkey?…

For most of the last decade, talk about Wayland on KDE sounded like a promise: stronger security, modern graphics, fewer legacy foot?guns, once the pieces land. With Plasma 6, those pieces finally clicked into place. Plasma 6.1 delivered two changes that go straight to how frames hit your screen, explicit synchronization and smarter buffering, while 6.2 followed with color?management and HDR work that makes creators and gamers care. Together, they turn “Wayland someday” into a desktop you can log into today without caveats.

As £9 billion MoU sparks debate about value for money, it's time to have your say Register debate series It's a lot of money, £9 billion ($12 billion). Especially for a government which finds itself — for whatever reason — in a fiscal dead end.…

A change queued in drm-misc-next for DRM-Next ahead of the Linux 6.18 kernel cycle later this year is promoting the Nouveau driver for open-source NVIDIA GPU support to be using the GSP firmware by default. This reflects the reality that using the NVIDIA GPU System Processor "GSP" firmware with Turing and Ampere GPUs should provide a better experience than the older firmware alternative with Nouveau...

The folks at iXsystems announced this afternoon that nightly builds of TrueNAS 25.10 are now available for testing of this Linux-based network attached storage (NAS) operating system. With TrueNAS 25.10 there are more performance improvements, improved installation process, initial support for 400GbE networking, and other enhancements to this ZFS-focused platform...
