A few months ago, I decided to breathe new life into a 2019 Dell XPS 15 that had been collecting dust for a couple of years. Despite its (at the time) high-end Core i7 CPU and 32GB of RAM, Windows was frustratingly slow on it. The fan was constantly at full throttle even when the machine was idle, and it regularly failed to install updates.

The Game Boy family of handheld consoles was groundbreaking, making gaming more accessible to millions worldwide. Nintendo's portables beat off technologically superior competition from the likes of Sega's Game Gear and Atari's Lynx. They became home to foundational moments for the medium, from what is still arguably the definitive version of Tetris to the birth of Pokémon. Yet with the iconic gray monolith launching in 1989, it's now pushing 40-and playing those important classics gets tougher every year.

Dependabot sounded the alarm on a large scale. Thousands of repositories automatically received pull requests and warnings, including a high vulnerability score and signals about possible compatibility issues. According to Valsorda, this shows that the tool mainly checks whether a dependency is present, without analyzing whether the vulnerable code is actually accessible within a project.

Aurora OS.js isn't just a web-based OS. It's a portal. Born from the intersection of digital art and cyberpunk culture, this project reimagines the operating system as an immersive game world. It is a high-fidelity hacking simulator built on modern web technologies (React, Vite, Electron), designed to blur the line between utility and gameplay. Currently in its pre-Alpha stage, it serves as the foundation for a future MMO hacking universe - a persistent world where you script, hack, and uncover the lore

The reason for this is Snap - a Linux application packaging format - creates a local Trash folder for each VS Code version, one that's separate from the system-managed Trash, according to a VS Code bug report dating back to November 11, 2024. Not only that, but Snap keeps older versions of VS Code after updates, potentially multiplying the number of local Trash folders and the trashed-but-not-deleted files therein. Emptying the system Trash folder doesn't affect the local instances.

For the longest time, Linux was considered to be geared specifically for developers and computer scientists. Modern distributions are far more general purpose now -- but that doesn't mean there aren't certain distros that are also ideal platforms for developers. What makes a distribution right for developers? Although I consider app compatibility, stability, and flexibility to be essential attributes for most any Linux distribution, developers also need the right tools

Bash scripts are a great way to automate all sorts of repetitive tasks -- you can run backups, clear temporary files/logs, rename or batch-rename files, install or update software, and much more. Although writing such scripts isn't nearly as hard as you might think, it does take some time to learn the ins and outs of bash scripting. Also: 6 hidden Android features that are seriously useful (and how they made my life easier) Good news: If you have an Android device, you can enable the Linux terminal, which means you can create or practice your bash scripting on the go.
