ISD is an independent interactive systemd management tool with a nice text user interface "TUI" for dealing with systemd units and other systemd functionality. Out today is isd 0.6 with many fixes and other refinements to this helper for administering systemd-backed Linux systems...

Radxa has announced the Fogwise AIRbox Q900, a rugged edge AI system powered by Qualcomm’s IQ-9075 processor. The compact unit delivers high-performance compute with industrial reliability, targeting real-time inference in manufacturing, robotics, smart cities, and research. The AIRbox Q900 is powered by the Qualcomm IQ-9075 SoC. It integrates an octa-core Kryo Gen 6 CPU based […]

In addition to some Intel Linux kernel drivers being "orphaned" following the corporate restructuring at Intel between developers being laid off and others deciding to pursue opportunities elsewhere, these changes have also led to a number of Intel-related software packages within Debian being orphaned. In turn these Intel packages are also relied on by Ubuntu and other downstream Debian Linux distributions...

Devs live in terminals - now Jules does too In the beginning was the command line, and despite all the machine-learning froth, developers still live there. That is why Google has shoved its Jules coding agent into a terminal with a new tool it calls Jules Tools.…

wafer.space has launched its first pooled silicon fabrication run on Crowd Supply, known as GF180MCU Run 1. The campaign offers designers the opportunity to fabricate 1,000 chips of their own design using GlobalFoundries’ 180 nm mixed-signal process. The initiative is aimed at providing accessible, structured access to custom silicon, with dies expected to ship in […]

A set of patches merged via the networking pull request for the Linux 6.18 will help servers better cope with distributed denial of service "DDoS" attacks. Thanks to a Google engineer there are some significant optimizations found in the Linux 6.18 kernel code for more efficiently handling of UDP receive performance under stress, such as in DDoS scenarios...

Announced over the summer by Canonical was Stubble as a way to improve the ARM64 experience by providing a minimal UEFI kernel boot stub for loading machine-specific Device Trees embedded within a kernel image. The initial focus with Stubble is on improving the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite laptop experience on Ubuntu Linux. Thanks to some granted feature freeze exceptions, the support is ready for Ubuntu 25.10...

Open source giant admits intruders broke into dedicated consulting instance, but insists core products untouched What started as cyber crew bragging has now been confirmed by Red Hat: someone gained access to its consulting GitLab system and walked away with data.…

Terasic has introduced the Atum Nios V Starter Kit, a feature-rich evaluation platform designed to accelerate development with Altera’s Nios V processor. The kit is aimed at embedded engineers, system developers, and educators looking for a practical way to explore RISC-V–based designs on the Agilex 3 FPGA platform. According to Terasic’s announcement, the kit is […]

Small Granite 4.0 models are available today, with ‘thinking,’ medium, and nano variants releasing later this year.

Artificial intelligence works when humans use it wisely Over the past two years, the open source curl project has been flooded with bogus bug reports generated by AI models.…

GL.iNet has introduced the Comet PoE (GL-RM1PE), a compact remote KVM device for server management, industrial systems, NVR setups, and HomeLab use. It supports 4K@30 FPS remote display, two-way audio, PoE for simplified deployment, and includes onboard storage with self-hosted cloud support. The Comet PoE is equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, paired with […]

Fedora’s beta releases offer one of the earliest glimpses into the next major version of the distribution — letting users and developers poke, test, and report issues before the final version ships... This beta is largely feature-complete: developers hope it will closely match what the final release looks like (barring last-minute fixes). The goal is to surface regression bugs, UX issues, and compatibility problems before Fedora 43 is broadly adopted.

After Linus Torvalds yesterday shot down RISC-V big endian prospects for the Linux kernel, today he has used his authority to wage a war on "crazy" Rust code formatting as well as to critique poor text formatting...

Following last month's release of the first KDE Plasma 6.5 Beta, a second beta milestone was released today ahead of the stable release coming later in October...

Simulating physics is central to robotics: before a robot ever moves in the real world, much of its learning, testing, and control happens in a virtual environment. But traditional simulators often struggle to match real-world physical complexity, especially where contact, friction, deformable materials, and unpredictable surfaces are involved. That discrepancy is known as the sim-to-real gap, and it’s one of the biggest hurdles in robotics and embodied AI... the Linux Foundation announced that it is contributing Newton, a next-generation, GPU-accelerated physics engine, as a fully open, community-governed project. This move aims to accelerate robotics research, reduce barriers to entry, and ensure long-term sustainability under neutral governance.

Following the recent Raspberry Pi 500+ launch, the latest Raspberry Pi news is the release of Raspberry Pi OS now re-based against Debian 13 "Trixie" along with some additional changes...

Valve just published the Steam Survey results for September with a slight increase to the Linux gaming userbase...

The hardware monitoring "HWMON" subsystem updates have been sent out for the Linux 6.18 kernel with some notable additions...

Crowd Supply recently featured the SigCore UC, an upcoming universal industrial I/O controller that combines rugged hardware with open-source software for engineers, researchers, and educators seeking a flexible control and data acquisition platform. Unlike typical development boards or expansion modules, SigCore UC arrives as a complete, ready-to-deploy solution. It is capable of handling real-world voltages, […]
