Amazon is dropping support for Kindle older models from 20 May, 2026, meaning owners of pre-2013 models will be unable to download new books or set up a device that has been factory reset — deregistering a device will effectively ‘brick’ it. While no company can support all of their products forever (one could argue a company the size of this one could, mind), most of the devices impacted, listed below, have not received firmware updates for over a decade, and most lost on-device access the Kindle Store. The following 2012 or earlier Kindles are affected, as of 20 May, […]
A big infrastructure grant from Anthropic, and an investment from the Linux Foundation's Alpha-Omega, quietly become seed money for Apache’s new “responsible AI” push. The post Apache Spins Anthropic’s $1.5M Into ‘Responsible AI’ Initiative appeared first on FOSS Force.

A new version of Miracle-wm, a tiling window manager built around the Wayland compositor Mir, has been released with a new WebAssembly plugin system and Rust API. Developer Matthew Kosarek, an engineer at Canonical who created miracle-wm as a personal side project, says the new plugin system in v0.9 release will allow for greater window management, animation and configuration, thus making miracle-wm “truly hackable”. He also shared a video overview of the changes in the latest update: A new Rust API for writing plugins is supported in Miracle 0.9, with documentation available for fans of the memory-safe language to swot over; […]

The Intel IVPU accelerator driver used on Linux for the neural processing unit (NPU) on Core Ultra SoCs saw a patch posted for allowing the NPU clock frequency to be limited in the name of power and thermal management...
by George Whittaker The Linux kernel development community is stepping up its security game once again. Developers, led by key maintainers like Greg Kroah-Hartman, are actively adopting new fuzzing tools to uncover bugs earlier and improve overall kernel reliability. This move reflects a broader shift toward automated testing and AI-assisted development, as the kernel continues to grow in complexity and scale. What Is Fuzzing and Why It Matters Fuzzing is a software testing technique that feeds random or unexpected inputs into a program to trigger crashes or uncover vulnerabilities. In the Linux kernel, fuzzing has become one of the most effective ways to detect: Memory corruption bugs Race conditions Privilege escalation flaws Edge-case failures in subsystems Modern fuzzers like Syzkaller have already discovered thousands of kernel bugs over the years, making them a cornerstone of Linux security testing. New Tools Enter the Scene Recently, kernel maintainers have begun experimenting w
