📰 AMD's fTPM is still causing random stutters, but the fix could cost you money
Stutters are among the most annoying symptoms of PC dysfunction because they're some of the most non-specific issues to solve. It could be caused by literally any component in your rig, and beyond that, software can play a large part in the smoothness of your experience. If you've dealt with stutters and you're running a Ryzen processor, there's a good chance the culprit isn't your RAM, your GPU, or a misbehaving driver. It's caused by a...

📰 Type with your voice on Linux using this Whisper-based app
Your mouth can say things faster than your hands can type them, yet voice typing is rarely used as a primary input method on desktop (most of us think nothing of it on mobile). That’s despite speech-to-text being available on desktop OSes for decades, natively and through dedicated apps. It never caught on because it was inaccurate and slow (and because what you do at a keyboard is less efficient to speak, but that’s a separate point).

📰 Valve Developer Further Improves Old AMD GPUs: HD 7870 XT Finally Working On Linux

That meant better performance, RADV Vulkan support out-of-the-box, and other benefits.

After a few worrying release candidates, Linus released the Linux 7.0 kernel a few days ago. While there seemed to be more bug fixes than usual during the preview builds, Linus felt that the changes were small enough not to warrant a delay. He also believes the increase in fixes was due to AI assistants getting better at finding problems in the code, which is valid.
