  18.   <summary>Also No Edition Top Story Intel has started shipping Nova Lake... Engineering samples. (WCCFTech) Linked from that article is a tweet that announces the news and pronounces AMD's Zen 6 dead on arrival because Nova Lake is just so much faster. Not mentioned in the tweet (but listed in the article) is that the full dual-die models of Nova Lake will consume up to 700W. Tech News Intel has also started shipping - for real - its low-end Wildcat Lake CPUs. (WCCFTech) One of the first laptops with this chip is the Chuwi Unibook priced at just $449. That's with...</summary>

The creator of OpenClaw burned through $1.3 million in OpenAI usage in a single month. (Tom's Hardware) Yes, that would certainly be a change. But I like not living under a bridge. Tech News Halupedia is a Wikipeda-style website that is made up on the spot by AI.

  40.   <summary>Polypole Edition Top Story If you're looking for an inexpensive CPU to soothe the bite of memory and storage prices, should you choose AMD's 7600X3D, or Intel's new 250K? (Tom's Hardware) Both have six full-speed cores and the AMD chip has an extra 64MB of cache, making it 10% faster for games. However, the Intel chip is 28% faster for single-threaded productivity tasks, which don't often take great advantage of the larger cache. And for multi-threaded tasks the Intel chip is 114% faster. On the fourth hand, AMD's socket AM5 platform currently supports Zen 4 and 5, and will see...</summary>

Disappointingly, the PEZ dispenser is the name given to the release system for satellite clusters launched to orbit and doesn't actually dispense PEZ. Starship V3 completed a static fire test last month and the test flight is scheduled for the 19th. Tech News OpenAI wants ChatGPT to access your bank accounts. (The Verge) Not their bank accounts.

(Tom's Hardware) A year after it was released for the 9000 series, and eight months after the source code for a version that worked on RX 6000 and 7000 cards was accidentally leaked. This is good news for owners of older AMD graphics cards - and also for Xbox and PlayStation owners, which also use custom versions of those older graphics designs. In fact Sony has announced its own release of FSR 4 technology for the PlayStation 4. It may be the...</summary>

(Phoronix) Bad news: No major distributions have patches out yet. Good news: It's in the same kernel modules as all three other vulnerabilities, so if you applied the quick fix of just disabling those modules entirely, you're protected this time as well. Oh, and five new vulnerabilities in CPanel since the weekend. (InMotion) But these ones aren't being actively exploited yet, so just update and you're good. Tech...</summary>

Which raises the question: Why didn't the Chromebook run Android in the first place? There are no specs or indeed any hardware information at all; that will be left to Google's partners including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. It might potentially be a good time to be launching a laptop that doesn't need 32GB of RAM to get out of bed - as indicated by the runaway success of Apple's MacBook Neo.

I'm not sure why just AI - though that is a hot topic at the moment - but Digg was originally a news aggregator just like this.

(Notebook Check) It's not going to be cheap thanks to the RAMpocalypse, but shipping manifests show that Valve has collected 50 tons of something in a warehouse, and the latest update to Steam includes four new product codes and a reservation queue that again appear to correspond to the new device.

It's literally called Copy Fail 2: Electric Boogaloo. But under the hood it's abusing the same module as yesterday's Dirty Frag, so if you already applied the mitigation for that, you're protected from CF2EB. Also, my recommendation is don't install Ubuntu 26.04 just yet. Unlike 24.04 which worked smoothly from release day, Ubuntu 26.04 still has some odd quirks.

It abuses bugs in three optional kernel modules to give any local user root access. Good news: It's relatively easy to prevent. Bad news: It's already out in the wild even though none of the Linux distributions has had a chance to patch it yet. There's a script available that prevents the affected kernel modules from loading that blocks the exploit. Run it once and you're good - unless you depend on...</summary>
