🛠️🔌 fwupd 2.1.6 a fost lansat! Gestionare mult mai sigură și stabilă a actualizărilor de firmware pe Linux 💻⚡Proiectul open-source fwupd — utilitarul de bază folosit în Linux pentru actualizarea automată și sigură a firmware-ului componentelor hardware (de la BIOS/UEFI, la SSD-uri, mouși, tastaturi și hub-uri USB) — a primit o nouă actualizare majoră: versiunea 2.1.6. Această iterație se concentrează pe rafinarea motorului intern de detecție și pe eliminarea unor erori ce puteau bloca procesul de scriere a codului pe dispozitivele conectate.Iată principalele îmbunătățiri introduse în fwupd 2.1.6:🔹 Gestionare îmbunătățită a erorilor la scriere:Actualizarea aduce un plus de siguranță în momentele critice ale rescrierii firmware-ului. Procesul este acum capabil să intercepteze mult mai precis micro-întreruperile de comunicare cu dispozitivul sau instabilitățile de tensiune de pe magistralele USB, prevenind eșecurile catastrofale care ar putea lăsa un periferic nefuncțional (starea de brick).🔹 Suport extins pentru hardware modern:Fwupd 2.1.6 extinde baza de date cu noi profile de identificare (GUID-uri) pentru o gamă largă de componente de ultimă generație lansate de producători mari precum Dell, Lenovo, HP sau Intel. De asemenea, a fost optimizată interacțiunea cu dispozitivele ce folosesc protocoale speciale de stocare de tip NVMe și Thunderbolt.🔹 Optimizări pentru daemon-ul de fundal și interfețe grafice:Consum redus de resurse: Serviciul de fundal (fwupd.service) scanează acum magistralele sistemului într-un mod mai eficient, reducând numărul de treziri ale procesorului (CPU wakeups) atunci când calculatorul se află pe baterie.Integrare mai curată cu magazinele de aplicații: S-au rezolvat problemele de sincronizare din cauza cărora manageri grafici precum GNOME Software sau KDE Discover raportau uneori eronat succesul sau eșecul unei actualizări de firmware încapsulate în capsule UEFI.Prin parteneriatul extins cu serviciul LVFS (Linux Vendor Firmware Service), fwupd continuă să fie un pilon indispensabil pentru securitatea ecosistemului Linux, permițând utilizatorilor să își păstreze sistemele protejate împotriva vulnerabilităților hardware fără a părăsi sistemul de operare. Versiunea 2.1.6 va fi integrată rapid în depozitele marilor distribuții Linux în perioada următoare.#fwupd #fwupd216 #LVFS #FirmwareUpdate #LinuxHardware #BIOS #OpenSource #TechNews

Kingston shipped 100 million A400 SSDs and SATA still refuses to die

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://nerds.xyz/2026/05/kingston-100-million-a400-ssds/

Csináltam egy merészet.

Van egy Lenovo Yoga 11e tablet PC-m. De, Linux alatt egyszerűen sosem működött a tablet funkció.

Hat éve van nálam, de együtt tudtam ezzel élni, mert igazából nekem egy valóban kis laptop kellett utazásokhoz, ha ügyet kellett oldanom alapon.

Sosem használtam ki tabletként. Még Windows alatt sem. (Igaz, Windowst csak és kizárólag az ősöreg, de LifeTime Garmin Nuvi GPS-em frissítéséhez használok egyedül, mert nincs kedvem kerülő utat keresni rá.)

De, úgy voltam vele, hogy ha már van mindenféle CLI-s AI agent, akkor teszek egy próbát azzal is.

Oda adtam a Claude AI CLI agentjének sudo joggal együtt, hogy... oldja meg, ha tudja.

Dolgozik bőszen. És, igazából nem csak azért nem félek, hogy elront valamit, mert nincs semmi szenzitív azon a gépen és pikk-pakk újra telepítem és kész.
De, azért sem, mert egyszerűen egy netes keresést nem tud megcsinálni anélkül, hogy minden oldalra külön rá ne kérdezne, hogy engem-e.

...és ugyanez minden lépésnél itt is. Egyszerűen nem tudok normálisan gépelni, mert a másik monitoron az ssh-ban folyamatosna nyomkodnom kell az entert a jóváhagyások miatt.

Kíváncsi leszek, mi lesz a vége!

A couple of minutes ago, "Linux Audio Plugin Development" (LAPD) became "Linux Audio Development" (LAD). 😎

https://linuxaudio.dev/

This allows us to focus on more than just #plugin (s) and also cover DAWs, specialized audio #linuxsoftware, and #linuxhardware support in the future.

The universe always extracts a cost when you use magic, including radio magic.

Today I checked into my first net using solar power. 😎

AND I received my future #LinuxHardware from ebay, all convertible and stuff for portable #HamRadio operations. $175 for a clean used Thinkpad Yoga X1. 🤸‍♀️

But the battery is borked and the touchscreen doesn't work lol. 💔

Get in on these Windows 10 EOL deals yall!

All AMD, No Intel: TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen10 Unveiled

Picked up an HP X2 detachable laptop/tablet hybrid thing from a friend's shop and am looking for an operating system that will work that isn't Debian. It's got 2GB of ram and 32GB of storage and some God awful Atom potato processor. I intended it to be a writing machine, so nothing too special needed. It's currently running Fedora like shit.

That's quite a beast for humble linux gamers.

｢ The biggest selling point of the TUXEDO Stellaris 16 Gen7 laptop is its 1000 nits HDR (High Dynamic Range) mini-LED matte display with 2560×1600 resolution, 100% sRGB, 16:10 aspect ratio, and extremely fast 300 Hz refresh rates. The new display is paired with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 24GB GDDR7 graphics card ｣

@samuelsantaella @itsfoss I agree - that is the only real reason. #YotLD is not about anything technical, nor about market share! The true practical definition of #YotLD is when people can simply walk in to physical stores. and buy affordable laptops with #LinuxPreinstalled.

Remember, most people don't install Windows or macOS on their computers. In fact, they have no concept of an operating system - it's just a computer. They are only concerned with using the apps!

I do have a Linux question.

Is there any website I could check if my special hardware like pedals, flight stick or infared camera is supported properly?

Heeeeeeey linux cats!

I would like to learn how to do kernel work and closer to the grain hardware work. Anyone know of any reasonably-priced device (wifi card? PCI-E card? even if it's a laptop, so long as it's relatively inexpensive for the whole shebang) that oh my god no one gives a shit about enough to write a driver but it would be super cool if it did work?

If you know of any listing of anything of this type or anything, that would be really helpful. I dunno what my price point is but given that it's education to increase my skillset for employability (and to possibly help stave off more compute lockdown in the future) I do have some budget for it. I'm not really a hardware kitten so I'm not quite sure where to begin to look for this kind of info.

Boosts very much appreciated!

Linux: Firmware-Sicherheit mittels fwupd auf Basis der HSI-Spezifikation überprüfen - codingblatt.de

I’m looking for a beefy prebuilt linux desktop for running local test workloads. (simulation of 1000s of nodes of a system).

Linux support needs to be great. I've looked at System76 but prices are quite high.

- 500GB Nvme storage
- Ryzen with at least 8 cores, 16 would be better
- min 32 GB RAM

Recommendations?
