Summary of the week of July 8, 2024

[cobito]

A weak week due to technical issues more than anything else:

Accounts in AI

According to a study, companies that have bet on AI will have to enter 600 billion a year just to cover the costs of their data centers.

Atomic block writing

Linux 6.11 will come with a feature called atomic block writing. It will allow you to write in storage units blocks of a different size than the one supported by the device or the file system. This will help, among other things, to reduce data loss in case of power outage.

Firefox 128 available

A couple of days ago, Firefox 128 was released. It comes with the possibility of translating text selections using the context menu. It also comes with changes in the cache and history deletion screen.
