The CUDA toolkit provides developers with a parallel computing platform and programming model that uses NVIDIA GPUs for general-purpose processing. Until now, developers had to download CUDA from the NVIDIA website to install it on Ubuntu, but soon that will no longer be the case.
Firefox 143 is yet another small update that only brings a couple of new features, one of them being the ability to preview when a website asks for camera access in the permission dialog, which may come in handy when switching between multiple cameras.
Giada 1.3 is a small update, but an important one as it introduces support for multiple audio output configurations (more than stereo), along with improvements to the JACK Audio Connection Kit support to enable support for multiple output connections.

Dubbed “Goodbye Stranger”, the MKVToolNix 95.0 release improves the chapter generation feature in the MKVToolNix GUI by implementing a new placeholder when generating chapters for appended files, which will be replaced by the appended file’s title metadata.
GStreamer 1.26.6 introduces support for WVC1 and WMV3 codecs to V4L2 (Video for Linux API version 2), adds a new blocking adapter element to the threadshare plugin (gst-plugin-threadshare) for use in front of block elements like sinks that sync to the clock, and updates the librespot library to version 0.7 for compatibility with recent Spotify changes.
The device is powered by a Rockchip RV1106G3 processor featuring a single ARM Cortex-A7 core running at 1.2 GHz. It includes 256 MB of DDR3 memory and 8 GB of onboard eMMC storage, with additional expansion available through a MicroSD card slot.
The system is equipped with the Intel Processor N97, a quad-core SoC with a 12 W TDP. It supports up to 32 GB of DDR5 memory via a single SO-DIMM slot running at 4800 MHz. Storage options include one M.2 M-Key slot (PCIe 3.0 x2 or SATA III) for NVMe SSDs and one M.2 E-Key slot for wireless modules, providing flexibility for different application needs.
The board is built around the Texas Instruments AM3358 processor, an ARM Cortex-A8 running at 1 GHz with a NEON SIMD coprocessor and dual-core PRU-ICSS for deterministic, real-time control. It integrates 512 MB of DDR3L RAM and expands onboard storage to 16 GB eMMC, a fourfold increase compared to the earlier BeagleBone Green.
