Easyduino is an open-source GitHub repository hosting KiCad PCB designs for popular microcontroller devboards (Easyduino UNO, Nano, ESP32, ESP32 S3, Raspberry Pi Pico 2040, Bluepill STM32F103). It aims to faithfully reproduce the original boards using KiCad, with USB-C support and cross-board conventions. Each project provides main KiCad files, nonstandard footprints, a readme, and production assets (Gerbers, BOM, CPLs, PDFs) in a ProductionFiles folder. The projects use a 4-layer copper stack (JLCPCB), and KiCad v8/v10 compatibility is noted. Licensing is CERN OHL v2 Permissive. Contributions are welcome.

Adding a CX team without input and a separate dashboard misaligned with the tribe caused slow information flow, poor adoption, and burnout. The team reported to product, not to tribe leaders, creating communication gaps. Early efforts built per-team dashboards and a greenfield frontend, delaying progress. Reframing, the author embedded CX capabilities in existing teams, built simple internal dashboards, paired with CX, trained, and aligned with Jira. Adoption rose; fewer tickets and faster resolution—within hours. The CX team was later disbanded as product teams took over CX. Lesson: avoid new teams; empower existing ones and avoid over-engineered tooling.

Decoupled DiLoCo (Distributed Low-Communication) is Google's resilient training architecture that splits large model training into decoupled compute “islands” with asynchronous data flow. It is self-healing and tolerates hardware failures, maintaining progress without blocking. In tests with Gemma 4 models, it trained a 12B-parameter model across four US regions over 2–5 Gbps WAN, achieving comparable ML performance to traditional methods but more than 20× faster due to reduced bandwidth and longer compute phases. It supports mixed hardware generations (TPU v6e/v5p) and reduces synchronization bottlenecks, enabling scalable, production-level distributed pre-training.

Canva apologized after its AI feature Magic Layers automatically changed “cats for Palestine” to “cats for Ukraine” in designs. The issue seemed limited to Palestine, with Gaza unaffected. Canva quickly fixed the bug and said it’s adding safeguards to prevent recurrence. The episode highlights risks in Canva’s AI overhaul as it competes with Adobe’s design tools.

Dutch central bank De Nederlandsche Bank plans to sign a major contract with Schwarz Digits (Lidl’s IT arm) to use its Stackit European cloud, aiming to reduce reliance on American providers. The move follows a push for a sovereign European cloud, despite concerns about robustness. Lidl/Kaufland and Deutsche Bahn already use Stackit; Schwarz Digits is expanding a European data-center footprint, with data under European law, unlike Cloud Act–subject U.S. providers. DNB notes geopolitical risks and will assess dependency with each cloud step.

The piece argues that common GPU utilization metrics (nvidia-smi, nvtop, cloud monitors) falsely reflect GPU work by only indicating whether a kernel is running, not how much useful compute is being done. It introduces Utilyze, an open-source, production-friendly tool from Systalyze that measures true GPU compute and memory utilization in real time using hardware performance counters. It reports Compute SOL % and Memory SOL %, and Attainable SOL % to reveal how close workloads are to hardware ceilings. The paper shows how relying on accurate measurement enables targeted optimizations, not just more hardware, and invites community contributions.

GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing starting June 1, 2026. Plans will include monthly GitHub AI Credits used for token-based usage (input, output, cached); code completions and Next Edit remain free. Copilot code review will consume AI Credits plus GitHub Actions minutes; fallback to a lower-cost model is removed. Individuals: Pro $10/mo includes $10 AI Credits; Pro+ $39/mo includes $39 AI Credits. Business/Enterprise pricing stays $19/$39 per user with included AI Credits; credits can be pooled and admins gain budget controls. A May preview bill will show projected costs; June–August promotional credits apply to existing Business/Enterprise.

macOS 27 brings notable networking changes. AFP file sharing will likely be dropped, affecting Time Capsule and older NAS; upgrades to macOS 27 may require replacing AFP-supporting storage. A TLS change may require servers used for MDM, device enrollment, app distribution, and Apple software updates to use TLS 1.2+ (TLS 1.3 preferred) with ATS-compliant ciphers and valid certificates; local Content Caching is unaffected. Admins should audit TLS on servers and collect logs via an Apple diagnostics profile (sysdiagnose). Not retroactive. Developer beta due June 8, public beta July 8, 2026; likely release mid-September 2026.

Scratch’s SVG sanitization has repeatedly failed: since 2019, SVGs could execute scripts (XSS) and other vectors persisted through multiple fixes (case-sensitive script removal, DOMPurify, removing hrefs and @import, CSS parsing), with new leaks via CSS url(), image-set(), and CSS nesting relaxed syntax discovered through 2025–2026. Despite extensive hardening, multiple holes remain; authors argue the approach is unsustainable, propose sandboxing SVGs in a sandboxed iframe (TurboWarp) as a robust alternative, and note ongoing open issues in css-tree and browser specs.

An analysis of the TP-Link TL-SG108 8-port switch shows it uses Realtek RTL8370N with an embedded 8051 for web UI and no CLI. With only a 4 Mbit SPI flash, it lacks a web interface; upgrading to 32 Mbit SPI flash and editing the MAC/serial at 0x1fc000 can enable VLAN management, but this has downsides (LEDs, no reset, uncertain hardware revisions). The article also notes other RTL8370N devices (Araknis AN-110) and suggests buying used OpenWrt-friendly managed switches instead. Flashing the TL-SG108 is possible but nontrivial.

On a 10-hour flight with no wifi, the author ran local LLMs on a MacBook M5 Max (128GB, 40-core GPU) using Gemma 4 31B and Qwen 4.6 36B via LM Studio, plus a DuckDB tool. He processed ~4M tokens for small tasks; results matched models for tight-scope work, but power (≈1%/min), heat (70–80W), and context limits (>100k tokens) constrained throughput. Instrumentation (powermonitor, lmstats) showed ~81.6W total; cable choice affected power delivery (iPhone ~60W vs MacBook ~94W). Takeaway: local inference works for a subset of tasks; cloud for context-heavy work. Next: test with the right cable, publish numbers, explore Neural Engine LLMs.

Tendril is a self-extending, agentic sandbox that demonstrates the Agent Capability pattern: a model searches a registry for tools, builds missing ones, registers them, and reuses them across sessions. It uses a Strands SDK Bedrock model (Claude) and a three-tool bootstrap loop, with a registry (index.json) and a Deno sandbox for tool execution. Core components: tendril-agent (agent loop), tendril-ui (desktop UI), transport (ACP JSON-RPC over NDJSON). Setup: clone, run make dev, configure ~/.tendril/config.json with workspace, AWS Bedrock model, and credentials; capabilities live in workspace/tools (fetch_url.ts, summarize_text.ts, parse_json.ts).

Lean is popular, but formalising math predates it. AUTOMATH (de Bruijn, 1968) and Jutting’s work formalised results; HOL Light and Isabelle followed. The LCF lineage (Coq, HOL, Isabelle) used ML as a metalanguage; Milner showed you can check proofs with abstract data types and proof irrelevance, avoiding bulky proof objects. The author argues that almost any formalised result could have been done in AUTOMATH, despite its clumsy notation and lack of automation. Lean’s rise dropped constructivism; Propositions-as-types view isn’t the only path. Isabelle offers strong automation, legibility, and non-dependent types; AI can help translate and tidy proofs. Mizar.

Windows 11's Second Chance Out of Box Experience (SCOOBE) pushes ads and subscriptions after setup, nudging users to adopt Microsoft services such as Edge, Office 365, and Xbox Game Pass. It can reappear months later, disrupt work, trigger support tickets, and erode trust on work PCs. IT teams say it diverts time from real tasks and may lead to unwanted licensing. Disable SCOOBE via Settings > System > Notifications > Additional settings (untick 'Suggest ways to finish setup') or Group Policy: Turn off Microsoft consumer experiences, and check Task Scheduler for UserNotPresentOrFirstLogon.
