Well, this is very disappointing. Over the first half of this year, we’ve talked about the resurgence of the Stop Killing Games movement, which aims to push various governments to legislate out the practice of video game publishers sunsetting their games and making them unplayable afterwards. The aims of theContinue Reading
A new version of miracle-wm, the Wayland compositor built on Mir with an i3/Sway style tiling window manager, has been released. Developer Matthew Kosarek, a Canonical engineer developing this keyboard-driven UX in his free time, says the new v0.10.0 release sees the plugin system introduced in the April 2026 release “gettingContinue Reading

SteamOS, the Linux-based operating system at the heart of the Steam Deck and Steam Machine, is growing ever more popular. It’s even coming to some Intel hardware, mostly on the strength of the appeal for those snazzy new handhelds. But it doesn’t work so well with Nvidia GPUs…Continue Reading

EV naysayers are fond of predicting that widespread EV adoption will “crash the grid,” or that it will lead to higher electric bills. In reality, the grid has been gradually expanding to accommodate new technologies for a century—none of the energy-hungry innovations of the past, from air conditioning to computing,Continue Reading
Soteria Battery Innovation Group has licensed Q-TRED, a thermal event detection technology developed by defense and security company QinetiQ, adding it to Soteria’s Battery Safety IP Exchange (IPX)—a licensing platform that bundles complementary battery safety technologies under a single framework. Standard battery pack sensing relies on temperature probes at aContinue Reading
BudsLink is a Linux app giving you more control over Bluetooth earbuds from the likes of Apple, Sony, Samsung and Nothing – battery levels, active noise cancellation (ANC) and more, all without needing to use a mobile app. Most Bluetooth audio devices ‘just work’ on Ubuntu and other Linux distributionsContinue Reading
The weather in space can be pretty dramatic, and we’re not very good at forecasting it. A single solar flare can release more energy in a few minutes than human civilization has produced in a million years, but unlike a hurricane that you can see on a satellite, it’s largely invisible to us on Earth.Continue Reading

In the general trend of “back to the future past” that we’ve been experiencing these days, a lot of users want to roll back from the streaming-based consumption services now, days of physical media or digital files that are locally present on their systems (I still miss my iPod). SoContinue Reading
Ever since it first appeared as a credit card-sized computer, the Raspberry Pi has quietly reshaped how we think about cheap, hackable hardware. Its ability to run fully-fledged Linux distros and GPIO pins for wiring up sensors and motors all while being cheap is what drew people in. Of course,Continue Reading
