Microsoft is finally changing the way Task Manager reports CPU utilisation to make it consistent across the different tabs. So apparently this has been gradually rolling out to the 34 different Windows 11 beta dev preview testing alpha release candidate service pack 4...
RISC-V has been supported in the upstream Linux kernel since 2017. But without a common hardware baseline, ensuring compatibility across builds and distros hasn’t been easy. The ecosystem was in need of a compelling, clearly defined hardware target – something both...

The European Union is in the process of testing an age-verification application, which people can use to verify their age in a privacy-preserving manner (in theory, of course). There’s countless important discussions to be had about whether or not age verification,...
Have a Samsung phone (outside of the United States), and want to unlock the bootloader? Well, soon you won’t be able to do so anymore, as Samsung seems to be removing this option from their phones – including already sold models being upgraded to One UI 8. Bootloader...

Becoming friendlier to desktop users is one of the goals of the FreeBSD project at the moment, as we recently saw with the new ability to install a full KDE Plasma desktop environment during FreeBSD’s initial installation. This is just one small piece of a larger effort,...

This article will explain in details about the fundamental issues that held back accessibility in GNOME Calendar since the very beginning of its existence, the progress we have made with accessibility as well as our thought process in achieving it, and the now and future of...
You’ve seen them everywhere, especially on older computer equipment: the classic 9-pin serial connector. You probably know it as a DB9. It’s an iconic connector for makers, engineers, and anyone who’s ever used an RS232 serial device. Here’s a little secret, though:...
Last year the European Union introduced legislation to greatly improve the transparency around political advertising, specifically on social media and websites. The law mandates a few very basic requirements that tend to already apply to many other forms of political...
The Linux Terminal app that Google introduced earlier this year is one of the most exciting new features in Android, not for what it currently does but for what it can potentially do. The Terminal app lets you boot up an instance of Debian in a virtual machine, allowing...

I have stumbled upon the most Microsoft support document of all time. Support for the Microsoft Store installation type of Microsoft 365 Apps is ending. New feature updates will stop in October 2025 and security updates will end in December 2026. If you have the Microsoft...

Wayback, the recently announced tool that will allow you to run a legacy X11 desktop environment on top of Wayland, has just announced its first release, version 0.1. As the version number implies, there be dragons here, but the developers state some of them already use...
The work towards making the 64bit version of AROS a viable choice is continuing, as is the work on AROS’ web browser, and developer Krzysztof ‘deadwood’ Śmiechowicz gave an update a few days ago detailing the progress that’s been made – and it’s extensive. First, the beta...
One of the things lacking from the FreeBSD installation routine is the easy installation of a full desktop experience, from X11 all the way up to a login manager, desktop environment, and its applications. It seems this might finally change for FreeBSD 15.0, as the FreeBSD...

Ever wanted Windows to monitor what’s on your screen continuously and ask it to do stuff for you? Well, have I got news for you: Copilot Vision, as this feature is called, is now rolling out to users in the US. Copilot Vision on Windows, now available in the U.S., is a new...
Earlier this year, we talked about a peculiar oddity concerning Flatpaks and Fedora: unlike just about any other distribution, Fedora maintains its own Flatpak repository, while everyone else just defaults to Flathub. While there’s a few technical differences between Fedora...
In this blog post, I have described how I have been using Linux on my Amiga 4000. I hope this information can be of use to anyone who is planning to run Linux on their Amigas. Furthermore, I hope that the existing documentation on the Linux/m68k homepage gets updated at some ...

Microsoft wants to know why, exactly, Windows 11 is slow, so it’s adding a feature in the latest Insider Preview to collect data when a Windows 11 machine is experiencing slowness or sluggishness. As part of our commitment to improving Windows performance, logs are now...
Is KDE too much for you? GNOME tries to do too much? Xfce still a bit too fancy? Do you need something smaller? Even more minimalist? What about a mere 20 lines of code which provide the absolute barest possible minimum of window management functionality? You need mwm. This ...
