• losetup is the key
  
  
  
• Nvidia will not be releasing any new video cards this year. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  Their money is all tied up in not investing in OpenAI.
  
  They aren't likely to release anything new next year either. The 5000 Super series appears to be dead and the 6000 series has been pushed back to 2028.
  
  That leaves the field wide open for AMD to fumble.
  
  
  
• Valve meanwhile will be releasing its new Steam Cube this year, just not quite yet. (Liliputing)
  
  Real soon now though.

• Razer's new limited edition Boomslang costs $1337. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  It's a mouse.
  
  
  
• If you already have an Nvidia graphics card, congratulations! (Tom's Hardware)
  
  The latest Windows 11 update causes major problems, including reduced performance and graphics glitches.
  
  You can roll it back but the same update patches 114 security holes.
  
  
  
• It's 2026. Just use Postgres. (Tigerdata)
  
  Postgres is something of a database construction kit, but that is likely still less work than (as in the example provided) running seven different databases.
  
  
  
• There are multiple critical flaws in n8n, whatever that is. (Bleeping Computer)
  
  So what counts as critical these days?

  According to Pillar Security, exploiting CVE-2026-25049 enables complete compromise of the n8n instance and could be leveraged to run arbitrary system commands on the server, steal all stored credentials, secrets (API keys, OAuth tokens), and sensitive configuration files.

  Yeah, sounds pretty critical to me.
