    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Linux is an important part of modern development, and Windows users often rely on a separate app like Docker Desktop to get started. Now, Microsoft is making it easier to run Linux containers on its operating system through Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). The feature was first showcased at Build 2026 and entered public preview in June. Now, it’s available for everyone with the latest WSL update. For those unfamiliar with containers, they are lightweight, isolated environments that hold an app

    Windows still doesn't have these legendary Mac apps (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Raspberry Pi locked RAM upgrades to stop scammers, but DIY users are bearing the brunt (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Raspberry Pi has always been associated with tinkering, modification, and making hardware do things it wasn’t designed to do. Now, the company has publicly confirmed that it has been quietly locking its boards to factory-configured RAM capacities through firmware.
