When commercial Internet providers declined to serve the Colville Reservation in Washington, United States, the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation decided to build their own network. By connecting tribal offices, schools, and community centers, they strengthened the infrastructure the community relies on daily. A recent study examines what changed after the network went live and offers evidence that connectivity can support local economic opportunity.
Coming two months after PipeWire 1.6.8, the PipeWire 1.6.9 release improves JACK object callbacks to avoid reporting old removed objects, adds the node.network=true option to network sinks and sources so that pavucontrol and others don’t wake them up, and improves the FC and LFE volumes when upmixing is enabled.
HPLIP 3.26.6 adds support for printers in the HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow series, including HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow N9000 sn1 and HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow 9000 s1, as well as printers in the HP ScanJet Pro series, such as the HP ScanJet Pro 4200 s1.
Development of Ubuntu 26.10 (codename Stonking Stingray) kicked off on April 30th, 2026, with the usual toolchain upload, based on the Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon) release. Ubuntu 26.10 Snapshot 4 is running the latest and greatest Linux 7.2 kernel series.
Highlights of GNOME 51 include support for saving and restoring monitor brightness, support for elogind as a libsystemd provider, a new API to generate QR codes, support for the input capture portal to integrate with the clipboard, and improved screencasting by minimizing stage paints and buffer copies.
Nordic Semiconductor has expanded its nRF54L Series with the nRF54LC10A, an entry-level multiprotocol SoC aimed at compact, cost-sensitive IoT devices. The chip integrates a 128MHz Arm Cortex-M33, a 128MHz RISC-V coprocessor, 1MB of non-volatile memory, 192KB of RAM, and a 2.4GHz radio supporting Bluetooth LE, Thread, Zigbee, Matter, and proprietary protocols.
Described by Radxa as its flagship edge AI module, the rCore-Q8550 targets robotics and machine vision with the Qualcomm Dragonwing QCS8550 platform and an optional Hexagon AI processor delivering up to 48 Dense INT8 TOPS. The 36 x 32mm module also supports up to 16GB of LPDDR5X, 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage, PCIe Gen 4, and six four-lane MIPI-CSI interfaces.
CompuLab has introduced the UCM-iMX952, a 28 x 40mm System-on-Module based on NXP’s i.MX952 processor. The module supports up to 16GB of LPDDR5 or LPDDR4X memory and 128GB of eMMC storage, along with PCIe Gen 3, 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and multiple display and camera interfaces.
Hat & Hammer has launched a Crowd Supply campaign for OpenMote, a programmable universal remote built around an ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 module. The device supports infrared transmission and reception, Bluetooth LE, Wi-Fi, motion sensing, audio, haptic feedback, and Qwiic/STEMMA QT expansion, while also targeting smart-home and game-controller applications.
Sipeed is preparing the SLogic32U3, a compact 32-channel logic analyzer designed for high-speed digital capture over USB 3.2 Gen2. The device supports configurable sample rates based on the number of active channels, direct streaming to a host system, optional analog acquisition modules, and software support across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
