Do you waddle the waddle?
Highlights of Audacity 4 include a new project manager that prompts you to select your project from the local file system or cloud, create a new one, or copy audio clips across projects, as well as support for Nyquist and VST3 plugins across Linux, macOS, and Windows, and LV2 on Linux, and Audio Units on macOS.
Linux kernel 7.1 was released on June 14th, 2026, introducing new features like a new NTFS file system implementation, which has been in the works for the last 4 years, featuring full write support with delayed allocation, iomap, and folio integration to improve write performance, and a new suite of userspace utilities called ntfsprogs-plus.
Highlights of Mozilla Thunderbird 155 include an updated S/MIME pop-up that now shows signature, digest, encryption algorithms, and key sizes, custom OAuth support for IMAP and SMTP servers, new PKCE and external browser fields for custom OAuth settings, and new Enterprise policies to disable QR export and experimental features.
The new stable Steam Client update for September 1st, 2026, is here to introduce support for HDR streaming on Steam Deck OLED via Remote Play, improve video color range on all platforms during Remote Play, and add support for changing accounts while a game is running.
Arch Linux 2026.09.01 is the first Arch Linux ISO release to ship with Linux kernel 7.2 by default, which should give users a boost when detecting hardware, especially on newer devices, but especially on older ones where previous Arch Linux ISOs failed to detect some of the components.
Coming about two and a half months after Audacity 3.7.8, the Audacity 3.7.9 release is here to add support for the latest and greatest FFmpeg 9 open-source multimedia framework and enable ASIO support for Windows to remember playback and recording device selection per host.
The board is based on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52840 microcontroller, which integrates a 64MHz Arm Cortex-M4 processor with floating-point support, 1MB of flash memory, and 256KB of RAM. Wireless connectivity from the MCU consists of 2.4GHz Bluetooth 5.0, with supported Bluetooth data rates of 2Mbps, 1Mbps, 500kbps, and 125kbps.
The Amlogic A311Y3 integrates two Arm Cortex-A78 cores running at up to 2.4GHz alongside six Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2.0GHz. Graphics are handled by an Arm Mali-G625 MC1 GPU, while the integrated neural processing unit provides up to 8 TOPS of AI acceleration with support for INT4, INT8, INT16, FP8, FP16, and BF16 workloads.
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.
Actions speak louder than press releases
Paying more for less.
he site of RMS (online since the 1990s) has been offline for about 3 days. We don’t know what’s taking so long for it to come back online.
Science and technology as codified in caselaw
Remember to save to disk, and do so very often
People In Love, probably not easy to find anymore (rare).
Too much this past week
3 years pass by just like that
This makes no sense.
Coming out shortly.
Follow our installation instructions.
This version includes important security updates to Firefox.

This release continues our ongoing development towards using Arti as a relay and as a directory authority, with much of the work focusing on document parsing, directory mirror support, and DNS stream handling. Additionally, on the RPC front, we are making steady progress towards RPC-based configuration management. Finally, congestion control and Counter Galois Onion cryptography are both now always enabled in arti.
