NEWS FOR #HAIKU: #NVIDIA GPU support coming soon! 
Developer @X512 has successfully ported Nvidia kernel drivers to Haiku. The driver will support Turing+ GPUs and already includes Vulkan integration via Mesa's NVK.
Initial tests are working and show potential for future uses, including AI acceleration with llama.cpp.
A major step forward for the Haiku ecosystem and hardware compatibility!

A little child charged with murder after filming the car-killing of a physicist cycling to work; there were 2 other children in the car. If any of the 3 children in the car is ever released, they must never again be allowed to drive, and must be required to use bicycles for all transport https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/20/us/albuquerque-hit-and-run-teens-charged-hnk/index.html

QC pass. Bought some Ali Pozidriv impact bits to replace the ones that shattered in cold weather driving a big screw into a frozen stump at max torque.
The stump is frozen again, so I drove the same screw, which this time broke the screw, not the bit. Another went in fine (at the top highest torque setting of the impact driver).
So according to my not peer reviewed research, these are better than Bosch and Forte Tools 
Several years ago, a coworker restoring a car was chatting with a relative when his great grandmother made a comment about the vehicle.
The relative interrupted: "You don't even have a driver's license."
The coworker turned: "Dude, she drove a bootlegging car during prohibition for a living. She never got caught, but they suspected her, so the state yanked her license in retaliation. She simply never bothered to get it back later."
Does anyone have any tips on adding a new game controller to the Linux kernel? I have this Nintendo switch knock off controller that doesn’t work but I would like to use. I tried adding the vendor and device id to xpad.c, but that didn’t work. Any ideas?
The Navajo Nation Office of Vital Records has been inundated with calls from tribal members residing off-reservation, many of whom report being questioned by ICE agents about their identity.
Arizona state Senator Theresa Hatathlie (Navajo), who represents Arizona’s sixth senate district, highlighted a specific incident where a Navajo citizen was detained for nine hours. She stressed the urgent need for emergency protocols to protect tribal members.
Navajo Nation Council Speaker Crystalyne Curley echoed the urgency, emphasizing the critical role of the Executive Branch in safeguarding tribal members living off-reservation.
“Our people are reaching out to us directly, and their needs are urgent,” Speaker Curley said.
“We must act swiftly to ensure their safety and well-being. Our constituents are depending on us for solutions.”
Navajo Nation President Nygren advised Navajo citizens to be prepared when approached by ICE officers, emphasizing the importance of being proactive during these encounters.
“We are advising Navajo citizens to carry state-issued identification, such as a #driver’s #license or other picture identification if available.
Having your state ID is crucial, and if you possess a #CIB (Certificate of Indian Blood), it can provide an additional layer of reassurance,” President Nygren said.
Hatahlie stressed that many tribal members struggle with documentation, which has worsened under the recent ICE sweeps.
Despite possessing Certificates of Indian Blood (CIBs) and state-issued IDs, several individuals have been detained or questioned by ICE agents who do not recognize these documents as valid proof of citizenship.
“Our office remains dedicated to provide accurate information and to assist any and all Navajo citizens who get caught up in immigration issues,” President Nygren said.“
If you do run into issues with federal immigration officials, reach out to our office through Operation Rainbow Bridge.”
The "Operation Rainbow Bridge" telephone number is 855-435-7672.
The 25th Navajo Nation Council encourages Navajo tribal members impacted by ICE raids to contact the "Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission Office" at 928-871-7436.

“[H]ard data seems to show that—whether due to vehicle design, driver behavior, or a combination of these two factors—Teslas suffer twice as many fatal accidents compared to other brands.”
“Musk and Tesla’s repeated #autopilot claims may have led drivers to over-rely on a system that […] is not much better than a drunk raccoon driving a clown car.”
I've no #money for any sort of new #car so goodness knows why I was wondering about this. How do #heavy #EVs #perform in #crashtests? The #weight must change the whole #picture from #driver & #passenger #safety to that for #pedestrians & #people in other #cars.

In a statement, #StatesAttorney #AlisonHealey said the #prosecution stands by their argument that “the incident that took the life of Meghan Riley Lewis was undoubtedly a #FirstDegreeMurder.”

I know the odds for this are slim, but my partner #lost his bag which had the red hat I knit him for Christmas. He got in a car at #SFO yesterday/Sunday and the #driver wasn't using an app, quoted him a price higher than Uber, with no official means of receipt (meaning work won't reimburse him), so he got out, but accidentally left his leather bag in the back seat.
If you know anyone who drives at the #SanFrancisco airport or in the #BayArea, please pass this message to them! My partner will pay $150 for the bag and its contents (clothes, a cheesy love note I packed for him, and a red knit hat - cat not included).

Of course #VicePresident #KamalaHarris’ #favorite #F1 #driver is #LewisHamilton, one of the best #queer #allies in #sports.
In an interview Tuesday with #HowardStern, the #Democratic #presidential #nominee revealed she’s a big #Formula1 #racing #fan. “We love it. Our whole family does,” she told the former shock jock. When asked to name her favorite driver, the sitting Veep was unequivocal. “Lewis Hamilton, of course,” she replied.
For years I have thought the third-party 360 controller receiver that I bought on Amazon was just junk. Then I found out it works flawlessly on Linux.
JUST TODAY I found out you can manually install the driver on Windows. Not the 10.x driver from this year, but the 2.x driver from 2009.
- Open "Device Manager" (if it still exists at the time of reading)
- The "Other devices" section should be auto-expanded
- Right click "Unknown device" if you don't see anything else corresponding to your adapter.
- Select "Update driver"
- DO NOT SELECT "Search automatically for drivers". That will fail every time
- Select "Browse my computer for drivers" and then "Let me pick from a list of available drivers" and then under "Xbox 360 Peripherals" select the "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows Version: 2.1.0.1349 [8/13/2009]"
GAME ON!
