PWA in Firefox

Mozilla is working on an implementation of Progressive Web Apps (PWA) for Firefox. It is a feature that browsers based on Chrome already have and that Firefox OS also has. PWA allows web applications to run as if they were native programs.

ReactOS 0.4.15

A new version of ReactOS has been released. The update of the eternal free candidate to replace, first systems based on Windows 9x and later on NT kernels, comes with improvements in Plug and Play, Audio, memory management, the file system and many other components of the operating system.

Linux 6.14 available

Linux 6.14 comes with the famous (but not so groundbreaking in terms of performance) NTSync. It also brings improvements in read management in RAID1 configurations with Btrfs. In addition, an AMD NPU driver is included. As always, the list of changes is much more extensive.

Intel and Nvidia are negotiating a contract in which Intel would manufacture Nvidia's chips using the future 18AP process, a low-power 18A.
