PINE64 quits making Linux devices – until the AI bubble bursts
If you’ve been eyeing up one of PINE64’s Linux-friendly single-board computers, phones or tablets, now is the time to buy one. The open-hardware company has announced it will stop “producing more Linux devices” for the time being, and said it expects its existing stock of certain devices, including the PineNote and PineTab 2, to sell out in the next three months. Obviously, RAMaggeddon is to blame. The AI infrastructure boom continues apace, with demand for memory and storage chips continuing to drive up costs because of reduced supply. If the price of even modest tech – $350 Raspberry Pi, anyone? […]

Salesforce opens Headless 360 MCP to let AI agents bypass its interface
Salesforce is moving its Headless 360 strategy from promise to deployment with an open-beta MCP Server that lets Agentforce, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini, and Copilot discover business capabilities directly. The company is also making Data 360’s MCP Server generally available, allowing agents to transform data, build models, and activate campaigns while inheriting Salesforce permissions and governance.

Microsoft shows how Windows 11 admins can slash update bandwidth
Microsoft has published a detailed Windows 11 Delivery Optimization guide that could significantly reduce internet traffic during update and app rollouts. The recommended baseline expands local caches, keeps peer discovery on the LAN, and uses deployment rings so a small group of devices seeds content before larger waves begin.

Tuba 0.11.0 released with full Mastodon quote support
A big update to Tuba, the GTK4/libadwaita Fediverse client, has landed – along with an experimental version for Android. Tuba 0.11.0 is the first major update to the social app in a year and brings full support for Mastodon quotes. Quoting posts, whether others can quote your posts and revoking consent from those who have are all supported in the composer. While the app had offered it own approach to “quote tweet” sharing of other people’s posts, adding support for Mastodon’s “consent-based” version means you will quote whilst respecting the needs/wishes of other users on the decentralised social media service.

Проект ориентирован на перевод больших репозиториев, содержащих сотни тысяч строк кода на Си, в безопасное (без unsafe-операций) и легко сопровождаемое представление на языке Rust. Canonical профинансирует работу исследователей над проектом в течение 3 лет. Развиваемая технология будет опробована для перевода на Rust пакетов AppArmor и snap-confine, чтобы проверить применимость метода к реальным системным компонентам.

Andrew Morton on Tuesday sent out all of the memory management "MM" updates for the Linux 7.3 merge window. The MM pull was particularly heavy as he noted 1,250 "added-to-MM" emails were sent out this cycle compared to 920 the prior cycle. With a lot of patch churn, he also turned to Google's Gemini AI for writing his patch summaries.

Chrome may let Gemini use saved passwords to complete web tasks
Google is testing a Chrome feature that would let its Gemini “Spark” agent use selected saved passwords to sign in to websites and complete multi-step tasks. The capability remains experimental and requires users to approve each action, but it would give an AI agent access to credentials that were previously confined to Chrome’s password manager.

Проект SoLo развивает загрузчик системных so-библиотек для полностью статических Linux-программ
Опубликован проект SoLo, позволяющий полностью статическим Linux-программам, собранным с musl, загружать через dlopen() установленные в системе glibc-библиотеки, в первую очередь GPU-драйверы. Обычно статическая сборка несовместима с драйверами Vulkan и OpenGL, которые дистрибутивы поставляют в виде разделяемых библиотек, собранных с glibc. SoLo снимает это ограничение при помощи встроенного в исполняемый файл загрузчика ELF и прослойки, транслирующей вызовы glibc в musl-рантайм процесса — сам glibc в процесс не загружается, второго libc в процессе не появляется. Код написан на C++ и распространяется под лицензией MIT.
