USB, the Universal Serial Bus, was first released in 1996. It did not achieve widespread adoption until some years later; for most of the '90s RS-232-ish serial and its awkward sibling the parallel port were the norm for external peripheral. It's sort of…

OpenAI Thinks AI Agents Are Coming for Your Job This Year
If the CEO of OpenAI is correct, 2025 could be a transformative year for artificial intelligence.
There's a recent change by goolag that requires some patches for Google apps to work with microg.
Could we get this patch on RisingOS?
It's been included in LOS and crdroid code officially already. Here's more details:
Google recently changed the method used to create app signatures on all Google Apps, and will be rolling these changes out to ALL apps distributed via Google Play starting next year.
This requires all app signature spoofing methods (either embedded within your ROM or used as an external patch) to be updated to continue to support apps distributed via Google Play on a device running microG.
The Github comment linked below contains a list of which ROMs and signature spoofing patches have imported the changes necessary to support the new Google Play app signing mechanism.
https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/2680#issuecomment-2548579352
Here's a summary of the situation:
FakeGApps (fix merged) - v6.5 or higher contains the fixes
LineageOS 19.1/20/21/22 (fix merged) - All builds from 2024/12/17 onwards contain the fix
LineageOS for microG (fix auto-included from upstream) - All builds from 2024/12/17 onwards contain the fix
/e/OS (fix merged) - v2.6.3 or higher contains the fix
