I link to TUXEDO a lot in this blog post. These links are not affiliate links, and this post is not sponsored (duh). TUXEDO Computers is a laptop manufacturer based in Augsburg, Germany, who are special to Linux users because they’re one of the few manufacturers developing specifically for Linux. They ship with their own TUXEDO OS, which comes with KDE Plasma by default. For my new job, I actually wanted a Framework laptop with an AMD chip, but they were temporarily out of stock so I opted for

Mysterious Petroglyphs Reemerge on Oahu Beach

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-12-31 15:20:46

Shifting sands have once again revealed mysterious petroglyphs on the shores of a remote group of islands. The carvings appear and disappear depending on the water current, sometimes remaining hidden for years at a time before returning like a divine omen. But they’re not (as far as we know) an auspice, and this isn’t a fantasy movie. The petroglyphs are carved in sandstone along a beach on Oahu’s west coast, in front of a U.S. Army recreation center, and could be over 1,000 years old, as first

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-12-31 20:08:00

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Arch Linux has a reputation for being too complicated, unstable, and not for everyone. For those reasons, several distributions have emerged that attempt to bring Arch to the masses. Many of them (such as Manjaro and EndeavorOS) succeed quite well. However, not all of those forks of Arch are created equal. Take, for example, Liya Linux.

The First ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Trailer Is a Huge Level Up for Pandora

Give James Cameron three years to tinker with the same world, and everything is going to get bigger and better. That’s the main takeaway in this first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film in Cameron’s mega-blockbuster sci-fi series. Everything in this trailer takes what we expect from Avatar and brings it up a notch. The action is bigger. The sets are more elaborate. The characters are more emotional. And, if we’ve come to learn anything from Cameron and this franchise, it’s sure to

Over the past 2 years, 250 intersections were to be equipped with so-called “intelligent traffic lights”, which would receive a signal as soon as a road user with the app approaches.

He was driving in the heart of Chicago, on a busy city street, about to lose control of a truck that was supposed to help him save people’s lives. He looked around, panicked.
