The company say this will make it easier for users to enable and configure VPN settings. Among the changes, NordVPN 6.0 combines protocol and technology settings in a nordvpn set protocol command, while obfuscation is now handled by NordWhisper, rather than a separate setting.

📰 Linux Finally Making It Easier To Answer The Question: "Is This RISC-V System RVA23?" The RISC-V RVA23 profile is a big deal for reducing fragmentation in the RISC-V ecosystem and standardizing more of the ISA to make it easier to distribute modern RISC-V binaries and the like. Modern versions of Ubuntu mandate RVA23 even though compliant hardware is still quite limited. Somewhat surprisingly, only coming about now is an easy ability for Linux users to find the answer to "is my RISC-V system RVA23 compliant?"

Arm AGI CPU claims 1.99x modeled rack performance over AMD EPYC 9755 Arm says its AGI CPU delivered 1.99 times AMD EPYC 9755’s average performance per rack across seven agentic AI workloads. The advantage comes largely from a power-based model that fits 21 or 23 Arm servers in a 24 kW rack, compared with 13 AMD servers—not from a twofold per-chip lead. Signal65 reviewed the results, but did not rerun the tests in its own lab or measure fully populated racks.
