Linus Torvalds blasts kernel dev for 'making the world worse' with 'garbage' patches

The Washington Post/Getty Images You can't say Linux creator Linus Torvalds didn't give the kernel developers fair warning. He'd told them: "The upcoming merge window for 6.17 is going to be slightly chaotic for me. I have multiple family events this August (a wedding and a big birthday), and with said family being spread not only across the US, but in Finland too, I'm spending about half the month traveling."

Sony Bravia Theater Bar 6 review: Great sound, greater frustration
