Geniatech has listed two M.2 AI accelerator cards targeting local inference workloads on embedded systems and edge devices. The AIM-M-R28 uses Rockchip’s RK1828 processor with 20 TOPS of computing performance, while the AIM-M-H10 is based on Hailo’s Hailo-10 architecture, delivering up to 40 TOPS for generative AI and computer vision applications.
Bitmerse’s Romu recently debuted on Crowd Supply as an ultra-compact development board based on the Raspberry Pi RP2354A microcontroller. Designed to plug directly into a USB Type-A port, the board features capacitive touch input, an RGB LED and MicroPython support
Manchester City showed resilience in the second half
When did something innocent turn from benign (e.g. Charlie Chaplin) to malicious or “warning sign”?
City ’til I die?

Coming almost three months after IPFire 2.29 Core Update 203, the IPFire 2.29 Core Update 204 release is here to improve the Knot Resolver full caching DNS resolver implementation, which was introduced in the previous update, with a fix for a regression where clients connected via IPsec, WireGuard, or OpenVPN were unable to resolve names because Knot Resolver replied from the wrong source IP address.
On October 14th, 1996, Matthias Ettrich proposed a consistent, easy-to-use desktop environment for Unix-like systems. He called it the “Kool Desktop Environment” (KDE) — a deliberate jab at CDE, the proprietary Common Desktop Environment dominant at the time. What followed was 30 years of remarkable momentum.
For Linux gamers, the new Steam Client update from Cotber 13th, 2026, makes the “Select compatibility tool” dropdown always visible to be easier to select aliases like “Proton Stable”, and updates the SteamOS compatibility dialogs to show in the desktop UI when installing games that are not verified for that hardware.
Mozilla Thunderbird 158 looks like a smaller update due to the faster development cycle, updating the ExtensionSettings policy to install add-ons from update_url when install_url is not set, and improving the responsiveness of the quick filter.
The 8th-gen TUXEDO Stellaris 16 Linux laptop is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor with 24 cores (8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores) and a 5.6 GHz clock speed, up to 96 GB DDR5-6400 or 128 GB DDR5-5600 RAM, and ultra-high-speed NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSD storage.
That’s right, the next major Linux Mint release will be Linux Mint 27, not Linux Mint 23 as initially thought, and since Linux Mint 22.3 “Zena” was the last to reach the end of the alphabet, the devs are now starting all over but using boys’ names this time, so the codename of Linux Mint 27 is “Adrien.”
