AI server demand to strain supply chains and components through 2027

Demand for AI servers is projected to remain robust through 2027, driven by aggressive data center investments from major cloud providers like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. This sustained demand is shifting the primary industry challenge from a lack of AI chips to broader shortages across the hardware supply chain. Analysts warn that these supply constraints will likely intensify, leading to higher prices and extended lead times for critical infrastructure.

📰 4K @ 60 FPS USB Video Capture Finally Becomes Less Problematic On Linux

One area of Linux hardware testing I haven't explored much in many years has been modern USB video capture for the lack of said hardware. The last time I did much video capturing on Linux was during the Hauppauge PCI card days. It turns out though that USB video capture of 4K 60 FPS content has been a pain point under Linux but is finally smoothing out with newer versions of the Linux kernel...

📰 I replaced VLC with PotPlayer, and these 5 fantastic features convinced me not to go back

For well over two decades, VLC has genuinely been the undisputed king of media players. It's free, open-source, and plays practically every single file format I've ever thrown at it. That's why it has rightfully earned a permanent spot on millions of Windows PCs. I truly couldn't ever have fathomed that I would mention anything other than VLC when asked for a media player recommendation, but that was only until a few months ago.

Возобновлена публикация Android-прошивки CalyxOS, не привязанной к сервисам Google

Опубликован выпуск проекта CalyxOS 7.2.2.0, развивающего прошивку на основе платформы Android, избавленную от привязок к сервисам Google и предоставляющую дополнительные средства для обеспечения конфиденциальности и безопасности. CalyxOS 7.2.2.0 стал первым стабильным выпуском после приостановки публикации обновлений в августе прошлого года, вызванной необходимостью переработки процесса формирования релизов, проведения полного аудита и изменения криптографических ключей после ухода основателя проекта и технического лидера, имевших доступ к ключам для цифровых подписей. Новый выпуск переведён на кодовую базу Android 16 и доступен в сборках для устройств Pixel 4-9, Fairphone 4/5, Motorola Moto G32-G84 и SHIFTphone 8.

Apple представила Apple Container 1.0, программу, позволяющую запускать Linux-контейнеры прямо на macOS

Проект стал развитием ранее открытого решения, которое компания показала около года назад как альтернативу классическим контейнерным платформам вроде Docker. По сути, это CLI-утилита, с помощью которой можно создавать, запускать и публиковать OCI-совместимые контейнеры, с интеграцией в macOS и собственным способом их запуска.
Так как macOS не поддерживает Linux-контейнеры напрямую, Apple использовала подход с легкими виртуальными машинами. Каждый контейнер запускается внутри изолированного Linux-окружения, фактически получая собственную микросистему. Это чем-то напоминает WSL от Microsoft.
