📰 EFS File-System Slated For Removal With Linux 7.3 After 20+ Years Unmaintained

The EFS file-system was used for non-ISO9660 CD-ROMs and disk partitions on SGI IRIX before IRIX 6.0 switched over to XFS. Inside the Linux kernel has been a read-only EFS file-system driver without a maintainer for 20+ years while for Linux 7.3 it's expected to be removed...

📰 ReactOS Implements First Windows NT6 System Call In Step Toward Vista Compatibility

The ReactOS project that is striving to be the "open-source Windows" with Windows driver and software binary compatibility hit another milestone today. ReactOS to date has primarily targeted Windows NT 5.2 as the architecture from Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 but with an eye toward Windows NT 6.0 for Windows Vista and later compatibility with software. ReactOS has now landed their first NT6 system call...

📰 Ubuntu 26.10 Snapshot 2 is out (with a ‘breaking change’)

Ubuntu 26.10 Snapshot 2 is available to download, the second of four snapshots planned for the ‘Stonking Stingray’ development cycle ahead of a stable release in October. As with the first snapshot, there’s not a lot “new” stuff to see or test out, so unless you’re a developer or an avid bug hunter there’s little reason to rush off and try it.

📰 Valve just open-sourced the Steam Machine e-ink faceplate, and you can 3D print one today

The Steam Machine has only just hit the market, and people are already doing all sorts of creative things. Not with the hardware itself, but instead replicating something somewhat similar to the Steam Machine's specifications but $300 cheaper. One company has even begun selling prebuilt gaming PCs that have SteamOS preinstalled.

Google Cloud developer billed thousands despite automated account hijack warning

A developer faced over $11,000 in fraudulent charges after a compromised Firebase service account key triggered massive Gemini AI image-generation activity. Although Google’s automated systems suspended the account for abusive activity consistent with a hijack, the company’s billing department refused to waive the debt. The victim followed all recommended remediation steps, yet remains financially liable for the usage that occurred during the 48-hour breach.

Anthropic Claude Fable 5 intelligence disappoints

Anthropic has redeployed its flagship Claude Fable 5 model following a regulatory suspension, but users report a significant decline in practical utility. While the underlying model remains unchanged, aggressive new safety classifiers frequently block legitimate requests to prevent potential cybersecurity exploits. These restrictions are particularly disruptive for systems-level development, as the system often triggers a fallback to the less capable Claude Opus 4.8 model when encountering technical keywords.

Fine-tuned models beat frontier models in Bridgewater finance tests

Bridgewater Associates and Thinking Machines Lab developed a specialized AI model that outperforms frontier systems like GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini on financial tasks. While general-purpose models initially achieved only 50% accuracy on document filtering, the custom solution reached 84.7% accuracy. This performance gap exists because the nuanced judgment required for financial triage relies on proprietary expert data rather than public information.

📰 Ubuntu 26.04 LTS has fixed its missing video/audio thumbnails

If you installed Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and noticed video and music files weren’t showing image thumbnails in the file manager, a packaging oversight was to blame, not anything you did. It turns out that Ubuntu’s Default install option (aka minimal install) wasn’t pulling in the gst-audio-thumbnailer and gst-video-thumbnailer packages which generate media thumbnails when you open a folder full of compatible files.

Industrialized ransomware alliance targets software supply chains and developers

The Vect ransomware group and the TeamPCP cybercriminal collective have formed a strategic partnership to industrialize the deployment of ransomware. This collaboration combines TeamPCP’s large-scale credential harvesting from software supply chains with Vect’s established ransomware-as-a-service infrastructure. Security researchers warn that this business-like model significantly lowers the barrier to entry for cybercriminals by automating complex attack pipelines.

Уязвимость в пакетном менеджере Guix, допускающая удалённое выполнение кода в системе

В пакетном менеджере Guix выявлены уязвимости (CVE не назначены) в реализации внутренней команды "guix substitute", автоматически вызываемой фоновым процессом guix-daemon при выполнении операций установки пакетов. Команда применяется для загрузки уже собранных бинарных пакетов с внешних серверов с проверкой их целостности при помощи цифровой подписи. Наиболее опасная уязвимость позволяет удалённо организовать выполнение кода на системе пользователя с правами под которыми выполняется фоновый процесс guix-daemon.

📰 Linux Preparing To Retire Its 32-bit MSR Interfaces

Currently measuring in at 32 patches, SUSE engineer Juergen Gross has been leading the effort to end the Linux kernel's usage of their 32-bit model specific register (MSR) interfaces so the more modern 64-bit interfaces can be exclusively used. This allows for better code unification and cleaning up the MSR code...
