Red Hat warned in June about kernel panics in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 due to the Falcon Sensor on kernel version
5.14.0-427.13.1.el9_4.x86_64. Another issue, related to the
falcon_lsm_serviceable kernel module provided from CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor/Agent security software suite, suggested disabling the module. Problems also occured in Debian and Rocky Linux.Here's what JackC said on Hacker News:
Crowdstrike took a day to respond, and then asked for a bunch more proof (beyond the above) that it was their fault. They acknowledged the bug a day later, and weeks later had a root cause analysis that they didn't cover our scenario (Debian stable running version n-1, I think, which is a supported configuration) in their test matrix. In our own post mortem there was no real ability to prevent the same thing from happening again -- "we push software to your machines any time we want, whether or not it's urgent, without testing it" seems to be core to the model, particularly if you're a small IT part of a large enterprise. What they're selling to the enterprise is exactly that they'll do that.

First look at the Google TV Streamer Set-top box
Source
At the MadeByGoogle event on 13th August, apart from Google Pixels, Watch 3, Buds 2 series, Google will also launch sequel to the Chromecast with Google TV (4K) from 2020. It will called as βGoogle TV Streamer.β
Google is aiming for a set-top/table-top design that has a slanted, pill-shaped surface with a minimal height. Two cables, likely the power and HDMI β protrude from the back
The voice input key is no longer Google Assistant-branded with a generic microphone used instead in a sign of the times. The volume rocker has been moved to the face of the remote instead of the right edge, while you now get a mute button too.

Nothing Phone 2a Plus will be powered by Overclocked Dimensity 7200 used in Phone 2a
Upcoming Phone 2a Plus will have Dimensity 7350 'Pro' SoC, which is just 200Mhz overclocked Dimensity 7200 'Pro' used on Phone 2a
The 'Pro' which Nothing exclusively advertises is nothing different, just offer more cash to MediaTek and then they will allow OEMs to use custom monikers. For example, Redmi Note 13 Pro plus has Mediatek 7200 'Ultra' while Phone 2a uses Dimensity 7200 'Pro'
The cores, the frequency, the GPU, everything is SAME as the regular Dimensity 7200 used in iQOO Z9 or Vivo V27
Funfact: Dimensity 7200 used in Nothing Phone 2a supports UFS 3.1 and LPPDR5 RAM.
However, Nothing did cost-cutting by offering LPDDR4X RAM with UFS 2.2 storage. Expect the same with Nothing Phone 2a Plus as well
