Linux crossed five percent of Steam's user base for the first time in March 2026, driven by Microsoft's end-of-support deadline for Windows 10 and the Steam Deck's adoption of Linux. NTSYNC, a kernel-level driver, offers great performance gains over previous versions of Wine by providing a native implementation of Windows-specific tools.
Cisco announced Q3 FY26 earnings with record $15.8 billion revenue, up 12 percent year over year. The company is making strategic investments and reducing workforce by fewer than 4,000 jobs to focus on AI, security, and silicon.

Google's main codebase had a uniform IDE issue until Cider, a web-based editor, was developed around 2016. Cider eventually became popular and was later replaced by Cider V, a VSCode frontend, which now handles 80% of development in the main Google codebase.
The author is frustrated with the current state of Markdown viewers and editors, particularly in the terminal and App Store. They created a custom Markdown viewer, MDV.app, using an AI agent in just 30 minutes.
Kempelen created a chess problem with four black queens and one black bishop to attack every square on the board. The goal is to place these five black pieces so the white king cannot avoid checkmate.
Two brothers, Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter, were fired from their jobs at Opexus in February 2025 after their employer discovered their past crimes. They then deleted 96 US government databases and stole sensitive information before being arrested and charged with various crimes.
Princeton's faculty voted to require instructor supervision during in-person exams starting July 1, a significant change to the 1893 honor system. The move aims to address increasing concerns over academic integrity violations, including AI usage, and provide an additional witness to report potential Honor Code violations.
Nibble was written in 3000 lines of C to demonstrate an approach to LLVM IR generation without relying on external dependencies or heap allocations. Nibble supports defer, recursion, integer, floating, and boolean types, structs (simply named types), GLSL-like struct operators, pointers, function pointers, branching, loops, type checking, basic C interoperability via generic pointers, and ...
To attenuate microplastics pollution, we first must quantify the number and types of microplastics found in the natural environment and identify their sources. Quantifying environmental microplastics requires distinguishing synthetic polymers from other naturally occurring species. Quality assurance and control measures – including wearing gloves when handling laboratory materials and samples ...

The US is winning the AI race due to its comprehensive infrastructure including chips, power, data centers, cloud platforms, and developer tools. The US owns global hyperscalers and platforms that generate and organize the world's data, giving it a significant lead over China and Europe.
The system supports various S-100 bus cards including processors, memory, I/O devices, and peripherals. These cards provide functionality such as memory, I/O operations, serial communication, and graphics display.
Python 3.14 and 3.15 will revert to the generational GC due to memory pressure issues. 3.14 will release an early patch 3.14.5 and 3.15 may release an extra alpha 9.
A security researcher, Nightmare-Eclipse, has exposed two Windows zero-days, YellowKey and GreenPlasma, which allow BitLocker bypass and privilege escalation. Experts warn that these vulnerabilities pose serious security concerns, especially since the researcher provided substantial technical information about exploiting them.
Security researcher Chaotic Eclipse published two new zero-day exploits, Yellow Key and GreenPlasma, targeting Windows Defender and BitLocker. The exploits grant system administrator and full system-level access, respectively, and have not been patched by Microsoft.
Gemini 3.1 was distilled into a 26m Simple Attention Network, Needle, for consumer devices. Needle outperforms other models in single-shot function calls but may be finicky and less effective in conversational settings.
In the late 1990s, hackers used tools like Back Orifice and Sub7 to remotely control Windows machines, often through IRC channels. This era laid the groundwork for modern threat actors and cybersecurity professionals, who learned from the scene's operational security and technical innovations.
User lost access to past projects after switching from Claude to Codex, citing similar issues with credits expiring upon plan end. Complex contracts and rate limiting cause user frustration, prioritizing growth over user experience.
Meta is testing a feature on Threads that lets users tag Meta AI for answers, but users can't block the account. Users can mute or hide Meta AI replies to see fewer of them in their feed.
A complete reverse engineering, documentation, emulation, and preservation of all Fisher-Price/Mattel Pixter device series and almost all the games was achieved, including the discovery of a 16-bit virtual machine that executes most simple opcodes in a dozen cycles or so. The Pixter Color device was found to use a unique audio system that involves a Melody Chip, which is controlled using a ...
I moved my code from GitHub to a self-hosted Forgejo instance due to concerns about Microsoft's ownership and control of GitHub, as well as the company's increasing reliance on AI and potential data collection practices. The Dutch government made a similar decision, and I chose Forgejo for its fully open-source nature and ability to maintain digital autonomy, despite some migration friction ...
The user migrated their digital infrastructure to European-based services to achieve digital sovereignty, choosing tools like Proton Mail, Scaleway, and Lettermint for email, hosting, and transactional email.
The 1989 memory map for the 68000 CPU used round-number allocation and intentionally left unused spaces, prioritizing simplicity over memory efficiency. This design approach is still relevant today, as memory capacity continues to grow but so do demands placed on it.
AT&T's Bell Labs developed the vacuum tube, which amplified electrical signals and enabled long-distance phone calls. The invention of the transistor, a solid-state amplifier, eventually replaced vacuum tubes and revolutionized electronics.
Language models have an uncanny ability to generate images in one-shot from natural language. Given a detailed prompt, you can get a close approximation to any artist, theme, or genre you like. I do find it amazing that, even though language is not the substrate through which paintings are created or reasoned about, a language model can somewaht faithfully reproduce images from text. While ...
