Vivaldi 8.2 is out with a calculator in the address bar
Vivaldi 8.2 rolled out today (3 September 2026) and lets you do quick and private math calculations directly in the address bar. This may prove useful when you don’t want to open to a new tab or a calculator app. I’ve often narrowed my eyes at an online checkout page after applying a coupon code (don’t judge), muttering “that can’t be right”. A quick number crunch later and, of course, it always is. You can click to copy the the result to your system clipboard, ready to paste elsewhere. Previous versions Vivaldi let you do local calculations from the Quick Commands menu, […]

Top AEO Tools for Linux and Developer Documentation Teams
by Malana VanTyler These platforms help teams monitor how technical content appears in AI-generated answers, from brand mentions and citations to accuracy and referral traffic. Search is splitting into two experiences: one built around ranked pages and another around generated answers. As AI platforms summarize Linux tutorials, open-source project documentation, API references and technical guidance, teams need ways to measure whether their content is mentioned, cited and accurately represented. An AEO platform provides that visibility. They help writers, maintainers, developers, and content teams examine how pages appear in generated answers, which sources receive citations, and whether AI platforms send traffic to the intended documentation. Top AEO Tools for Technical Content AEO and AI visibility platforms vary greatly. Some are mostly about tracking mentions, while others combine AI visibility with citations, referral traffic, competitor data or content recommendations. Below is a

Audacity 4.0 released with brand-new look
Audacity 4.0 has been released with a new Qt user interface, a new clip editing model and project file format – as well as a swathe of smaller improvements. The Qt port of Audacity is more than a superficial – some would say much-needed – facelift, as the toolkit switch brings native HDPI scaling, light and dark mode support and is able to follow system accent colours in its UI. A new app logo compliment the refresh. Customising Audacity’s interface is now possible. Toolbars and panels can be moved, popped-out or closed. Users can create UI layouts to suit their […]
[$] Recent work in memory tiering
Tiered-memory systems are built with multiple types of memory, each of which has different performance characteristics. In addition to the usual DRAM, a tiered system might also provide faster high-bandwidth memory or slower CXL memory. On these systems, the placement of memory allocations has a significant effect on the performance that a workload will obtain. While work on tiered-memory improvements has been ongoing for years, it feels like the pace has slowed a bit recently. Even so, there are a few efforts underway, but they are facing questions about whether the tiering design makes sense.
Audacity 4.0 released
Version 4.0 of the Audacity audio editor has been released. Notable changes in this release include a rewritten interface using Qt, ability to save user-interface layouts as "Workspaces", improvements in working with audio clips, and a new .aup4 project format. The release is not fully feature-compatible with the Audacity 3.x series; see the compatibility notes for a list of missing features.
