📰 ARCTIC Fan Controller: The Best Fan Controller For Linux Desktops, Less Than $10 USD Back in March were patches posted by ARCTIC Cooling for an ARCTIC fan controller driver for Linux. Typically we aren't used to seeing desktop/enthusiast focused vendors providing such Linux drivers for peripherals directly but the sad fact is most often it's left up to the open-source community to reverse engineer and create such drivers for Linux. 🔗 Source: #linux #opensource 👉@sysadminoff https://www.phoronix.com/review/arctic-fan-controller

Возобновлена разработка планировщика задач MuQSS и набора патчей "-ck" для ядра Linux Кон Коливас (Con Kolivas) возобновил работу над планировщиком задач MuQSS (Multiple Queue Skiplist Scheduler) и набором патчей "-ck для ядра Linux, нацеленных на повышение отзывчивости и интерактивности при выполнении пользовательских задач и игр. Разработка данных проектов была прекращена в 2021 году из-за потери мотивации и нехватки времени. Теперь Кон вернулся к прежней деятельности и выпустил набор патчей ck и планировщик MuQSS для ядра Linux 7.2. Отмечается, что вопрос нехватки времени удалось решить благодаря применению AI-инструментов, которые упростили разработку и адаптацию изменений к новому ядру. 👉@sysadminoff https://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=66088

Google puts A2A under Linux Foundation governance alongside MCP Google is transferring its Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), placing the standard for communication between AI agents under the same neutral umbrella as Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP). The move gives enterprises a clearer foundation for connecting agents built with different vendors and frameworks as multi-agent systems expand.

Anthropic keeps stronger Model 2 internal as AI risk rating rises Anthropic says its unreleased Model 2 is more capable than Mythos 5, but has no plans to offer it publicly as the company raises its assessment of high-stakes AI misalignment risk from “very low” to “low.” The decision comes as Anthropic observes faster progress in automated AI research and development, a capability that could also make misuse more dangerous.

GitHub Copilot update makes model switching the default GitHub’s latest Copilot update turns model choice into a core workflow rather than a one-time setting, adding Kimi K3, MAI-Code-1.1-Flash, and per-turn switching in Visual Studio Code. The flexibility comes with an enterprise concern: Copilot still does not provide a reliable record of which model generated or changed specific code.

Linux drops its last escape hatch for CPUs without a reliable TSC The Linux kernel is making the x86 Time Stamp Counter (TSC) mandatory, removing the final option to build a kernel without it. The change ends Linux’s decades-long compatibility path for very old processors and lets the kernel discard timing code that detected, calibrated, and worked around missing or unreliable TSC hardware.
