"Linux Kernel Drops QLogic 10Gb Ethernet Driver 'QLGE' for Good"

The QLogic 10Gb Ethernet driver, QLGE, is set to be removed from the Linux kernel source tree due to lack of maintenance and no active users. The driver, which has not seen any improvements since January 2021, will be deleted unless users of QLogic 10Gb Ethernet hardware express their need for it. This removal will lighten the Linux kernel source tree by 10.8k lines of code.

Linux Kernel Crashes Linked to Logitech USB Receiver Disconnects

Unplugging Logitech USB receivers has been causing the Linux kernel to crash for several months. The issue has been addressed in the Linux 6.6-rc6 kernel, with a fix that will also be back-ported to existing stable Linux kernel series. Red Hat's Hans de Goede played a significant role in resolving the bug, which involved addressing four time-of-check vs. time-of-use races. Users are advised not to unplug their Logitech USB receivers on recent Linux kernel versions to avoid potential crashes.

"Unlocking the Potential: Exploring macOS Sonoma's Installation and Features"

The OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.0.0 has been released, enabling 83 unsupported Mac models to run macOS Sonoma, despite lacking official support. The patcher project allows newer macOS versions to work on older models, expanding the range of features available to users without requiring hardware upgrades. However, the T1 Security Chip found in 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pro models with a Touch Bar is not currently supported. The list of compatible models includes various MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, iMac, Mac Pro, and Xserve models from 2007 to 2019.
