AMD restores memory encryption to Ryzen 9000 CPUs after community backlash

AMD has announced it will reinstate Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME) for consumer-grade Ryzen 9000 desktop processors via a BIOS update in July. This decision follows significant community feedback after the feature was quietly removed in a recent firmware update. TSME, which AMD brands as Memory Guard for its professional product lines, provides a hardware-based layer of protection for data stored in system memory.

Файловая система Bcachefs официально перестала быть экспериментальной

Кент Оверстрит (Kent Overstreet) опубликовал выпуск файловой системы Bcachefs 1.38.6 и объявил об официальном снятии с проекта метки экспериментальной разработки. Последнее время число поступающих сообщений о проблемах сократилось, а выявляемые ошибки стали менее серьёзными и замысловатыми.
Выпуск охватывает два пакета: bcachefs-kernel-dkms с модулем ядра, собираемым при помощи системы DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support), и bcachefs-tools с запускаемой в пространстве пользователя утилитой bcachefs, реализующей команды для создания (mkfs), монтирования, восстановления и проверки ФС. Пакеты собраны для Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux и ожидаются для Fedora, openSUSE и NixOS. DKMS-модуль поддерживает работу с ядрами Linux, начиная с 6.16.
Несмотря на непримечательный номер версии, обусловленный отсутствием изменений в дисковом формате, выпуск 1.38.6 включает ряд серьёзных оптимизаций производительности. В код для работы со структурами в формате btree, журналирования и обеспечения работы файловой системы внесено около 200 изменений, повышающих производительность. Логика подтверждения транзакций ужата в 4КБ машинного кода, добавлены оптимизации для исключения возникновения конкурирующих блокировок (lock contention) при работе с btree, полностью избавлен от блокировок процесс сброса состояния журнала (journal flush).

Optimizing Microsoft Defender Antivirus update delivery and fallback order

Maintaining current security intelligence is essential for Microsoft Defender Antivirus to identify and neutralize emerging threats effectively. Administrators can define a specific fallback order for update sources to ensure endpoints remain protected even if a primary connection fails. Available update locations include Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Microsoft Configuration Manager, network file shares, and the Microsoft Malware Protection Center.

Intel and AMD standardize ACE extensions to unify AI matrix compute on x86

Intel and AMD have released the official specification for AI Compute Extensions, or ACE, a standardized instruction set for future x86 processors. Developed through the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group, these extensions aim to accelerate matrix multiplication and machine learning workloads directly on the CPU. By establishing a common technical standard, the two rivals intend to prevent market fragmentation and provide a consistent target for software developers.

📰 GIMP v0.54 From 1996 With Motif Toolkit Now Flatpak'ed For Modern Linux Desktops

📰 Linux's ARM64 NEON Intrinsics CRC64 Code Adapted To Work On 32-bit ARM

Merged for Linux 7.1 was ARMM64 NEON-accelerated CRC64-NVMe support for around 6x the performance out of that checksumming algorithm. The generic code had been a bottleneck in NVMe and other storage subsystem code of the Linux kernel with CRC64-NVMe being used to help verify against data corruption. Now for Linux 7.2, the NEON-accelerated code will also work for those still relying on 32-bit ARM...

Getting your daily briefing printed out on a little piece of paper is so much more satisfying than an email. Maybe it's the fact that the paper is a tangible thing you can hold, or maybe it's just because it looks like you're getting a briefing from some kind of secret agency; either way, it's a lot cooler than receiving your daily digest digitally.
