📰 Someone made a Raspberry Pi D&D DM cyberdeck that tracks campaigns, rolls dice, and generates NPCs

There's nothing like being put on the spot as a D&D dungeon master when your players ask to talk to someone you haven't made notes for. And you know you can't just make up a random name and backstory, because your players will somehow make that one NPC a bigger part of the story than your planned villain.

📰 New AMD Low-Power Core & Unified Intel/AMD CPU Core Type Handling In Linux 7.3

Covered first on Phoronix back in June was an AMD Linux patch for introducing a new "low power" CPU core type to complement their typical "performance" cores and their "efficiency" cores like with Zen 4C/5C. That low power core is presumed for some Zen 6 clients and that integration is now merged for Linux 7.3 as well as unifying the Intel/AMD CPU core type handling...

The regression left Defender showing “Threat service has stopped” errors and, as detailed in the broken Defender scans, sometimes produced 0xc0000005 access-violation crashes.

PINE64 quits making Linux devices – until the AI bubble bursts

If you’ve been eyeing up one of PINE64’s Linux-friendly single-board computers, phones or tablets, now is the time to buy one. The open-hardware company has announced it will stop “producing more Linux devices” for the time being, and said it expects its existing stock of certain devices, including the PineNote and PineTab 2, to sell out in the next three months. Obviously, RAMaggeddon is to blame. The AI infrastructure boom continues apace, with demand for memory and storage chips continuing to drive up costs because of reduced supply. If the price of even modest tech – $350 Raspberry Pi, anyone? […]

Microsoft shows how Windows 11 admins can slash update bandwidth

Microsoft has published a detailed Windows 11 Delivery Optimization guide that could significantly reduce internet traffic during update and app rollouts. The recommended baseline expands local caches, keeps peer discovery on the LAN, and uses deployment rings so a small group of devices seeds content before larger waves begin.

Tuba 0.11.0 released with full Mastodon quote support

A big update to Tuba, the GTK4/libadwaita Fediverse client, has landed – along with an experimental version for Android. Tuba 0.11.0 is the first major update to the social app in a year and brings full support for Mastodon quotes. Quoting posts, whether others can quote your posts and revoking consent from those who have are all supported in the composer. While the app had offered it own approach to “quote tweet” sharing of other people’s posts, adding support for Mastodon’s “consent-based” version means you will quote whilst respecting the needs/wishes of other users on the decentralised social media service.
