Every couple of weeks, my 1TB SSD starts to fill to the brim for one reason or another. And every time, the fix is to open WizTree, go through the biggest files and folders one after another, and decide what can go. WizTree is excellent at showing me where the space went, but it won't tell me which of those files are safe to remove, and that's something that takes up a huge chunk of my time.

If you use KDE for Linux and you've noticed that it has been crashing on you more often than usual, you're not alone. As it turns out, a bug caused people using a Chromium-based browser with KDE Plasma to run into some pretty nasty issues. Fortunately, it seems a patch has just been pushed out, so give your system an update and see if that fixes the problem.

Going forward, official policy websites, policy documents, and press releases will refer only to "Super Intelligence," thanks to a new executive order signed by President Donald Trump."The word super is the best word of all, and it's the simplest," Trump said at an event announcing the launch of America.gov earlier on Tuesday, and said Chinese President Xi Jinping, who visited the White House last week, "loves it" too. "We don't want to hear artificial. Because it's not artificial. It's very powerful, it's very brilliant. It's going to mostly be …Read the full story at The Verge.

I run a Jellyfin server on an HP ProDesk 600 G6 in my home lab, under Proxmox with iGPU passed through for hardware transcoding. With the server side sorted, the app on each device decides how Jellyfin feels. Though the official clients work just fine, a handful of third-party clients include things I’d otherwise chase with a plugin or workaround.

If there's anything I've learned about people and their handhelds, it's that someone, at some point, will try to get Linux running on it. And while any form of Linux operating on a proprietary handheld is really cool, there's something to be said for someone running a whole desktop off it. Such is the case of this person who managed to get Arch Linux, KDE Plasma, and Steam running off their Switch Lite.

Elon Musk | Image: Laura Normand / The Verge Grokipedia, the AI-powered online encyclopedia from SpaceXAI, appears to be updating articles once again after a months-long pause. In August, Lawfare reported that articles on Grokipedia hadn't reviewed edits since April, but the platform's live updates site is now showing various recent changes to pages - though as I write this, many are just a note that says "recheck all references and sources."The site seems to have become active again relatively recently. The page for President Barack Obama has a note that says it was "Fact-checked by Grok" two days ago, and the page for Elon Musk was fact-checked while I was writing this, within the …Read the full story at The Verge.

Getting games running on Linux has never been easier, but it still requires a little bit of elbow grease. That being said, it feels like you need less and less grease the more time goes on and the more compatibility layers like Proton evolve. Now, Linux gamers have managed to get their hands on The Witcher 3: Remastered, and they've already got it running pretty well a few hours after release.

Dutch police say they arrested a 24-year-old Amsterdam man in connection with ShinyHunters, the hacking group that claimed responsibility for high-profile attacks on Ticketmaster, Rockstar Games, and more recently, the FBI.

When BMW first announced it was reimagining the i3 as an all-electric four-door sedan built on its Neue Klasse platform, it left out a lot of important details, like battery capacity, range, and price. Today, the German automaker is finally starting to fill in the blanks on the i3. Let's start with price. BMW says the 2027 i3 50 xDrive will start at $61,500, plus a $1,350 destination fee, putting it firmly in the Mercedes C-Class segment of competition. (Back in March, we could only guess a ballpark starting price around $60,000.) We also weren't certain when the new EV would be available in the US; today, BMW confirmed an official launch …Read the full story at The Verge.

For months, people have wondered when OpenAI will go public. CEO Sam Altman says it won't happen until the company can make better promises about model safety, with no firm timeline in sight. "We intend to continue with AI progress … but as the models have had this surge forward in capability, and we see more of that ahead of us, we have got to be able to make confident safety claims," Altman said Tuesday during a Q&A with reporters after his DevDay keynote. At the same time, he said, waiting too long for an IPO would be "bad for the world." Altman's comments come after months of controversy about whether or not OpenAI and its rivals can c …Read the full story at The Verge.

When you really think about how most people use Claude or ChatGPT on their phones, it's really not that deep. For example, most simply use it to reword an email before it goes out, or ask for an explanation of a word they hadn't heard before. Most of these tasks don't need a frontier model in a data center, but that's where they end up anyway because the app is on your home screen and an easy reach.

If you went a decade back in time and asked someone in the Linux community what the best beginner distro was, there's a good chance they'd reply with Ubuntu. It's what I heard a lot about when I first dipped my toe into the world of FOSS operating systems, and for good reason.
