-> Linux Kernel 6.14-rc3 Released: Key Updates 

Advertisment

Linus mentioned that 6.14-rc3 has some very big patches and features, including Paolo Bonzini’s KVM binaries, handling vector registers, vCPU race conditions, and AMD SNP fixes.

FauxBus is a mini-framework for device driver developers to work on, supporting C and Rust bindings. That touched 30 files, added 420 lines, and deleted 427 lines.

Give it a run and try to get it stable and fast on as many platforms as possible.

  • The scoop: A TMNT-themed event battle pass and unlockable cosmetics, possibly new characters?
  •  One question still remains: how will melee combat work and katana strikes and Escrima strikes?

With TMNT so popular and COD having experience with pop culture crossovers, it’s going to be totally tubular. No word on when it’s coming out, but teasers are being teased. Cowabunga, dudes! for more info read here-> TMNT Joins Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 & Warzone – Play as the Ninja Turtles!

WhatsApp's latest update gives users 22 themes and 30 wallpapers to customize their chat. Search for this update in your App Store and Google Play Store to change the brightness of the wallpaper while changing the color of outgoing messages and incoming messages that remain the same.

The other mod allows users to set a global theme for chats or customize themes for individual chats by selecting the backdrop of their choice, adjusting the brightness parameter, or adding their own image.
