Do you waddle the waddle?
Following the recent launch of the Arduino Ventuno Q, Toradex has introduced the Aquila IQ8, its first Qualcomm Dragonwing-based System on Module. Built around the same IQ-8275 processor, the module targets industrial edge AI, robotics, computer vision, and other compute-intensive embedded applications.
The Ventuno Q was first shown in March this year and is based on the Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ8 IQ-8275, which integrates an eight-core Qualcomm Kryo CPU, an Adreno 623 GPU, a Spectra 692 image signal processor, and a Hexagon NPU rated for up to 40 dense TOPS of AI acceleration.
Radxa has recently published additional hardware details for the C201, a 120 × 120mm carrier board designed for its compute module based on Qualcomm’s Dragonwing IQ-9075 platform. The board provides access to the module’s high-speed interfaces through dual 2.5GbE, NVMe storage, camera support, as well as RS-232, RS-485, and CAN bus connectivity.
Firefox 156 promises to improve memory and CPU usage when displaying large JPEG images that are scaled down to fit a page, improve dragging of inline images to a new position in a rich-text editor, replacing it with a long line of text instead of moving it, and improve high-sample-rate FLAC audio in MP4 playback.
Highlights of Firefox 155 include support for Happy Eyeballs v3 for faster page loading, the ability to reorder containers in Settings, support for Nintendo Switch Pro and compatible aftermarket controllers on Windows, and support for showing how many trackers it has blocked in the address bar.

The resolution, adopted under the project’s constitutional authority to issue statements of its current position, neither endorses nor prohibits the use of generative AI tools in developing, maintaining, or documenting Debian’s software, packaging, and other media.
This follows months of uncertainty across the open source world, but the bill cleared the Senate this week with unanimous support and now heads to Governor Gavin Newsom, who signed the original act into law last October.
Coming five months after the OpenShot 3.5 series, the OpenShot 4.0 release introduces a new Recording View with a dedicated audio recording dock for screen, webcam, and audio capture, screen/webcam recording support for Linux on Wayland via desktop portals, and live multi-source recording with timeline previews while recording.
Two weeks have passed since the release of Linux kernel 7.2 and the opening of the merge window for Linux kernel 7.3, allowing contributors to submit their patches. This means it’s now time to test-drive the Release Candidate (RC) versions over the next couple of months, every Sunday afternoon.

ermany lost the Second World War 81 years ago. Then, the Soviet Empire grew a bit. NATO was created. The Cold War soon began.
still remember when this site was new more than 2 decades ago. In the summer of 2004 I think I was in London for a sort of “summer school” focused on computer vision. I’d log in to check AWStat after ‘classes’ (lectures rather) and be happy if this site got like 100 visitors in a day whilst I was away from home. To me, 100 people were already a good accomplishment and back then bots were easier to tell apart, hence estimating the number of daily visitors (real human visitors) was feasible.
Things that media is not covering or no longer covering

Last month: GNU/Linux at 6% in Singapore
Around the world, judging by statCounter, GNU/Linux is fast approaching 10% and Singapore, a technologically advanced country in relatively tropical geography, is part of this trend.
There are many other countries that show a similar upward trend. █
