While there has been the Apple System Management Controller "SMC" hardware monitoring driver with the intent on exposing battery/power stats as well as thermal and more for Apple Silicon SoCs on Linux, it hasn't yet been working out properly on the mainline kernel. Between missing Device Tree nodes to the hodgepodge mess of sensors between the different Apple M-Series SoCs, it's a mess...

A month ago there was a change proposal raised for offering a "light" version of the GRUB2 bootloader for use in confidential computing environments. While there were some differing views on the matter for this alternative, stripped-down GRUB package as opposed to just using other bootloaders like systemd-boot, ultimately, the proposal is now approved...

As modern applications expand across multiple clusters, clouds, and hybrid regions, traditional security mechanisms, such as long lived secrets, static certificates, or cloud provider specific identity and access management, struggle to keep up with the scale, velocity, and ephemeral nature of microservices. Red Hat’s zero trust workload identity manager is designed to resolve this by dynamically issuing temporary, cryptographically attested identities to workloads at runtime. This enables your applications to systematically prove what they are, not just where they run.Zero trust workload id

Navigating the complexities of 5G and AI requires telecommunications service providers to move beyond the restrictive, vendor-locked vertical architectures of the past. Legacy, single-vendor vertical stacks, once the industry standard, have become the primary bottleneck to growth. These rigid architectures lock operators into slow innovation cycles and unsustainable operational expenditure (OpEx). As network complexity explodes at the edge, the traditional model of "one vendor per domain" creates isolated silos that are impossible to automate at scale and too expensive to maintain.To thrive, t
