Software 44496 Published 2026-06-24 17:36 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Ventoy 1.1.14 patches the UEFI CA 2023 revocation that recently bricked bootable drives across modern systems. The update swaps in a fresh secure boot shim but forces users to manually enroll a new signing key during the first boot. On the management side, the release syncs VentoyPlugson and introduces a VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY flag for tighter deployment control. If you're relying on network booting instead of physical media, the release notes also point users toward the iVentoy PXE server alternative.

Valve Updates Stable Steam Client with 250 Mbit/s Remote Play and Multi-Controller Support

Software 44496 Published 2026-06-24 10:11 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Valve pushed a stable Steam client update on June 23rd that significantly raises the streaming ceiling for Remote Play. The new adaptive bitrate cap now pushes up to 250 Mbit/s on compatible clients, though you’ll need the beta branch to unlock the full limit. Windows users can also bypass the traditional four-controller limit by launching the client with the -gameinput flag, while Linux gets a quieter Pipewire session optimization. The rollout drops automatically with your next launch, but the enhanced streaming features and several Steam Input bug fixes only take full effect when both machines are running the latest client builds.

MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ Review Roundup: Intel Arc G3 Extreme Handheld, $229 ASRock Motherboard, Corsair HS35 v3, and Storage Tests

Reviews 52672 Published 2026-06-24 08:46 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The Claw 8 EX AI+ breaks the compromise. HotHardware and Windows Central reviewers agree that Intel’s Arc G3 Extreme chip pushes this thing to performance levels most competitors simply cannot match as of right now, even if it's that premium price tag that makes you blink twice during checkout. Storage capacity eating into monthly budgets fast, while raw speeds lag behind and hardware trends cycle every few years. On top of that, the $229 ASRock X870E board, Corsair HS35 v3 headset, and a TerraMaster NAS running TOS 7 with OpenClaw round out a day where there's clear performance gains despite the usual price hikes.

Node.js 24.18.0 has shipped as the latest LTS release, bringing targeted performance adjustments to the HTTP agent and Buffer allocation system. The update adds TurboSHAKE and KangarooTwelve support to the Web Cryptography API while patching CryptoKey handling against prototype pollution and malformed inputs. You'll also see the default Buffer pool size jump to 64 KiB, which should cut down on allocation churn for memory-heavy workloads. Alongside these core improvements, the release bumps the bundled npm dependency to 11.16.0 and patches SQLite to 3.53.1 for broader runtime stability.

Bvncserver, Libnfs, and Libcap2 updates for Ubuntu

Ubuntu 7128 Published 2026-06-24 07:53 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Ubuntu pushed out fresh security patches. Admins running Ubuntu 22.04 through 26.04 need to grab the libvncserver bump to 0.9.15+dfsg to plug CVE-2020-29260 and the trio of 2026 exploits that wreck Tight encoding handlers, while the libnfs fix stops a string length bug from spawning arbitrary code on remote mounts. On top of that, you'll want to run a standard system upgrade to clear the backlog, though keep in mind that patches for those older boxes from 14.04 up to 20.04 now require Ubuntu Pro to stay current.

Software 44496 Published 2026-06-23 17:25 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Python 3.15 beta 3 has been released. The release packs 195 patches alongside explicit lazy imports and a new frozendict type that finally stop unnecessary module loading and accidental data mutation across every major framework without requiring manual configuration changes or third party workarounds. A revamped profiling package alongside stricter UTF-8 defaults cleans up years of tangled performance tools and silent encoding failures that used to crash production scripts without leaving a trace. Anyone should test the beta in an isolated environment before touching critical systems because preview builds still break more production stacks than they fix and the final release will not wait for stragglers to finish checking their code.
