Linux Mint is ‘bringing back’ hibernation to laptops

Linux Mint’s next release will offer a hibernation mode, so you can close your laptop mid-session and not worry about returning to a drained battery. A new Sleep Modes page in the System Administration tool in Linux Mint 27, out this December, makes it easy to enable hibernation and ensure it’s setup the way you need. Current versions of Linux Mint suspend when you close the laptop lid. Though snoozing, the device continues to use some power. If the battery runs out while sleeping, the suspended session is kaput – an outcome “worse than a normal shutdown”, say Mint. Hibernation […] You're read

Affinity is coming to Linux (but there’s no ETA yet)

Canva has confirmed it’s bringing Affinity to Linux, with work already in active development. Affinity told users on X that a Linux version of its software is in development, but has not said when it will be released. Affinity is a free design app (not open-source) that handles vector illustration, raster image work, photo processing and page layout. It now has a scripting studio that uses JavaScript to automate repetitive jobs. It’s not a low-budget knockoff either. It’s a fully-fledged rival to Adobe’s Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign software. It currently runs on Windows, macOS and iPad

Google said today it worked with industry partners to dismantle a botnet made up of more than 1.3 million Android TV set-top boxes that ship with malicious software which secretly rents the user's Internet connection out to strangers and conducts advertising fraud. Experts involved in the takedown say the action is likely to sever the botnet's access to more than 10 million additional compromised systems, including other Internet of Things (IoT) products such as Android-based healthcare devices and karaoke machines.

llm 0.37

Release: llm 0.37 There's a lot of stuff in this new release of my LLM CLI tool and Python library, representing around two months of accumulated features and fixes. I added gpt-6.1-sol and gpt-6.1-terra , plus a new llm openai endpoint add command to make it easier to configure additional models that use OpenAI-compatible endpoints. I switched the default model (if you have not set your own default) to gpt-6-luna - half the price of the previous default, gpt-5.6-luna . LLM's support for embeddings now accepts that different binary content may have different content-type - necessary for models

Study Claims Vizio Simply Ignores 'Smart' TV Spying Opt Out Requests

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Techdirt: Recently, reports emerged that LG TVs are sniffing around your local network, and even listening to your local environment, even when the TV is purportedly "off." Some of those voice commands were then stored in plain text and uploaded to the internet. LG's response? To deny everything. [...] That latter point is central to a new study out of Northeastern that conducted 5,943 experiments across twelve commercial "smart" TV devices. The researchers found that most smart TVs utilize automatic content recognition (ACR), a technology that captures
