Turtle Beach WaveFront ISA Sound Cards Seeing Suspend/Resume Support On Linux In 2026
It’s been an interesting 2026 in Linux development with beginning to phase out i486 CPU support, dropping ISDN and amateur “ham” radio support, and other code cleaning in the name of a diminishing user base – or perhaps even no users left – for those running such vintage hardware with a modern, up-to-date kernel. Yet ISA sound card drivers have seen an uptick in activity… ⌘ Read more

New NTFS Driver Sees More Fixes With Linux 7.1-rc2
One of the most prominent changes with the upcoming Linux 7.1 kernel release is the introduction of the new NTFS driver in the Linux 7.1 kernel. This new driver provides more features and better performance than the Paragon NTFS3 driver that’s been in the kernel the past few years and far better off than the original NTFS read-only driver that previously was in the kernel and for which this new driver is based. Needless to say it’s also a big improvement o … ⌘ Read more

Claude, Microsoft Copilot Fail Again to Predict the Winners of the Kentucky Derby
In 2016 an online “swarm intelligence” platform generated a correct prediction for the Kentucky Derby — naming all four top finishers in order. (But its 2017 predictions weren’t even close.)

Linux 7.1 Fixes Audio For The Steam Deck OLED After Being Broken 2 Years On The Upstream Kernel
It turns out the Steam Deck OLED gaming handheld has not had working audio support with the mainline (upstream) Linux kernel since a change in late 2023 that was merged for Linux 6.8. There was an AMD ASoC audio change that inadvertently broke audio support for the Steam Deck OLED handheld but not affecting the original LCD model. Valve’s downstream Steam OS kernel has compensated for this known breakage and other dis … ⌘ Read more

What if Tech Company Layoffs Aren’t All About AI?
“Running a Big Tech company during Silicon Valley’s AI mania may not necessarily require fewer workers or cost less,” writes the Washington Post:
