Malware was discovered infecting Android-based automotive head unit firmware.
The malicious code targets the infotainment system of vehicles that run Android, potentially allowing remote control or data theft. Researchers highlighted the need for stricter code signing and OTA update verification in automotive software. This incident underscores the expanding attack surface as cars become more software‑centric.
Linux stable kernels 7.1.10, 6.18.46, 6.12.105, 6.6.153, 6.1.184, 5.15.217, and 5.10.266 were released on Sunday, each containing additional fixes.
These releases continue the regular maintenance cycle, back‑porting security patches and bug fixes to long‑term supported branches. Users of older distributions can update to benefit from mitigations for recent vulnerabilities. The kernel tree also includes minor driver updates and performance tweaks.
Steve French, longtime maintainer of the Linux kernel SMB filesystem, has passed away.
French contributed to the SMB/CIFS implementation for over two decades, ensuring compatibility with Windows file sharing. He stepped down only a week before his death due to health issues. The kernel community posted tributes recognizing his technical impact and mentorship.
davila7/claude-code-templates is a CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code.
The utility streamlines setup of Claude Code environments, allowing users to apply predefined templates and watch runtime metrics from the command line. It targets developers who integrate Claude's AI capabilities into their codebases, simplifying repetitive configuration tasks.
VoltAgent/awesome-agent-skills curates over 1000 agent skills compatible with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Cursor.
The collection aggregates contributions from official development teams and the community, covering domains such as data extraction, code generation, and workflow automation. It serves as a plug‑and‑play library for AI‑augmented agents, reducing the effort to build custom skill sets.

A Hackaday project demonstrates 3D printing a functional railway pump car handcart.
The design replicates the classic seesawing beam mechanism used in early film handcars, requiring at least two operators to generate motion. Printed components are assembled with off‑the‑shelf hardware, showcasing rapid prototyping for niche mechanical devices. The project includes STL files for community use.
AROS, an Amiga‑inspired operating system, now runs bare‑metal on Raspberry Pi hardware.
The port eliminates the need for a host OS, allowing direct access to Pi peripherals and lower boot times. It demonstrates the flexibility of AROS's modular kernel and opens possibilities for retro‑computing enthusiasts to experiment with classic software on modern SBCs.
A Bluetooth shock collar was built to deter doomscrolling by delivering mild electric pulses.
The device pairs with a smartphone and triggers a configurable shock when the user exceeds a set time on social media apps. Its creator argues the physical feedback helps break compulsive scrolling habits, though safety and ethical concerns are noted.

ran-j/PS2Recomp provides a static recompiler and runtime tool for converting PlayStation 2 binaries to native PC executables.
The tool analyzes PS2 machine code, translates it to x86‑64, and supplies a runtime environment that emulates necessary hardware calls. It aims to simplify porting classic PS2 titles to modern PCs without full system emulation.
Alexays/Waybar is a highly customizable status bar for Wayland compositors such as Sway and Wlroots‑based environments.
Waybar supports modules for system metrics, media playback, and custom scripts, rendering them with CSS‑styled widgets. Its modular architecture lets users tailor the bar's appearance and behavior to fit lightweight or feature‑rich desktop setups.
FreeCAD/FreeCAD hosts the source code of FreeCAD, a free, open‑source, multiplatform 3D parametric modeling application.
The repository includes the core C++ engine, Python bindings, and a Qt‑based GUI. Frequent contributions expand its capabilities in mechanical engineering, architecture, and product design, while the community maintains extensive documentation and tutorials.
RPCS3/rpcs3 is an open‑source PlayStation 3 emulator and debugger.
The project implements the PS3's Cell processor and GPU in software, allowing many commercial games to run on x86 hardware. It also provides debugging tools for developers to analyze PS3 binaries, contributing to preservation and research efforts.
