I asked Google Bard whether it thought Web Environment Integrity was a good or bad idea. Surprisingly, not only did it respond that it was a bad idea, it even went on to urge Google to drop the proposal.

For those out of the loop, some AMD users have been suffering from stuttering issues caused by the AMD fTPM random number generator. A firmware/BIOS update appears to fix the issue for some users, but not others, leading to more bug reports being sent in. Last week, Linus Torvalds said "let's just disable the stupid fTPM hwrnd thing", and, as of today the Linux kernel has gone ahead and blanket disabled RNG use for all current AMD fTPMs.

Nitrux uses the Liquorix kernel, described as "an enthusiast Linux kernel designed for uncompromised responsiveness in interactive systems, enabling low latency in A/V production, and reduced frame time deviations in games."

It also uses OpenRC instead of systemd. New in this release is kboot, a utility to switch kernels on-the-fly without needing a reboot, and VMetal, which allows users to run Windows in parallel to Nitrux to provide users of access to Windows software.

A new tactic employed by threat actors utilizes Google AMP URLs as links embedded within their phishing emails. These links are hosted on trusted domains and have proven to be successful at reaching enterprise-level employees.

"The new Asahi Linux flagship distribution will be Fedora Asahi Remix!

We’re confident that this new flagship will get us much closer to our goal of a polished Linux experience on Apple Silicon, and we hope you will enjoy using it as much as we’re enjoying working on it.

We’re still working out the kinks and making things even better, so we are not quite ready to call this a release yet. We aim to officially release the Fedora Asahi Remix by the end of August 2023" [...]

I'm on a Galaxy Fold 4 and I was expecting Sync to show posts in two columns (like how Sync for Reddit did), but it seems like the second column is for comments only? Anyone know if it's possible to show posts in the second column instead of comments? I tried playing with the tablet options in the settings, but couldn't get it to display two columns of content.

Heilos pads designed for an easy to use alternative to thermal paste. Thermalright rates the thermal conductivity of its Heilos pads at 8.5W/mK, which is equivalent to the thermal conductivity of Arctic's MX-4/MX-5 - also spec'd at 8.5W/mK, which is considered to be a quite decent level of performance for inexpensive pastes.

A cautionary tale for a world racing into renewables: The large majority of mini-grids in India no longer work, an environmental group found.

About 4,000 solar mini-grids have been installed in India, of which 3,300 are government financed and owned. Only 5% of the government grids are operational.

Last spring, Amazon launched its live audio-streaming platform, Amp, which aims to reinvent radio with “an infinite dial of shows.” Amp offers users access to a vast, built-in music library to create their own DJ sets with. No need to buy songs or flirt with the DMCA, just make a playlist, go live, talk in between tracks, follow the chat and even invite callers. A little over a year later, Amp is finally available on Android.

AMD claims that the new Ryzen 9 7945X3D with a whopping 144MB cache is the fastest mobile gaming processor on the planet, and that it's more than 15 percent faster than the Ryzen 9 7945HX on average. It has 16 cores, 32 threads, up to 5.4 Ghz boost speeds and 55W+ TDP. The CPU is built on the Zen 4 architecture.

Juno Tab 2, a Linux-powered tablet with an 11″ screen and Intel N5100 CPU, is now available for pre-order. The price starts at $525.

I've seen comments claiming most people would like to have a wider front screen, but I wonder if this is really the case, so thought I'd create a poll to get some actual numbers.

If you were holding out on buying the WH-1000XM5 because it lacked multipoint LDAC support, well now may be a good time to get one.

It's nice that Voyager has dark mode, but if I open it at night, in a dark room, the white splash screen blinds my eyes, even if it's visible only for a short duration. Therefore, I'd like the splash screen to be a dark themed one, if dark mode is enabled.

"Good" as in something that looks just as good as an RH cert on my CV. I was considering LFCS, but I haven't come across any job listings mention LFCS (at least, not where I live).
