The Asus gaming laptop ACPI firmware bug

The ASUS Gaming Laptop ACPI Firmware Bug: A Deep Technical Investigation If You're Here, You Know The Pain You own a high-end ASUS ROG laptop perhaps a Strix, Scar, or Zephyrus. It's specifications are impressive: an RTX 30/40 series GPU, a top-tier Intel processor, and plenty of RAM. Yet, it stutters during basic tasks like watching a YouTube video, audio crackles and pops on Discord calls, the mouse cursor freezes for a split second, just long enough to be infuriating. You've likely tried a

Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed

You asked for it. A lot. So we built it: our Claude Code integration is now available in public beta, running natively in Zed through our new Agent Client Protocol (ACP). For months, developers have been asking us to bring Claude Code into Zed. We didn’t just want to bolt on a one-off integration; we wanted to build something better. ACP is our new open standard that lets any agent connect to Zed (and other editors, too). Claude Code is a perfect example of what’s possible. Now you can: Run

Agent Client Protocol (ACP)

The Agent Client Protocol standardizes communication between code editors (IDEs, text-editors, etc.) and coding agents (programs that use generative AI to autonomously modify code). The protocol is still under development, but it should be complete enough to build interesting user experiences using it. AI coding agents and editors are tightly coupled but interoperability isn’t the default. Each editor must build custom integrations for every agent they want to support, and agents must implemen

Permit for xAI’s data center blatantly violates Clean Air Act, NAACP says

xAI continues to face backlash over its Memphis data center, as the NAACP joined groups today appealing the issuance of a recently granted permit that the groups say will allow xAI to introduce major new sources of pollutants without warning at any time. The battle over the gas turbines powering xAI's data center began last April when thermal imaging seemed to show that the firm was lying about dozens of seemingly operational turbines that could be a major source of smog-causing pollution. By J

MacPaint Art from the Mid-80s Still Looks Great Today

MacPaint Art From The Mid-80s Still Looks Great Today I really enjoyed browsing the BMUG's CD-ROM and discovering earliy 80s art made in MacPaint, so I browsed all 18,000+ MacPaint images on Discmaster to see what gems I can unearth. Here is some what I found - I've got so many more cool icons/smaller drawings kept aside for the next time I'm bored and feel like making a blog post. Would be cool to try track down some of these artists and see what they're up to these days. If they could do thi

xAI faces legal threat over alleged Colossus data center pollution in Memphis

After thermal imaging appeared to show that xAI lied about suspected pollution at its Colossus supercomputer data center located near predominantly Black communities in Memphis, Tennessee, the NAACP has threatened a lawsuit accusing xAI of violating the Clean Air Act. In a letter sent to xAI on Tuesday, lawyers from the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) notified xAI of the NAACP's intent to sue in 60 days if xAI refuses to meet to discuss the groups' concerns that xAI is not using the re
