Last week I provided a look at how Intel's GPU compute performance on Battlemage evolved in 2025. In today's article is a similar Intel Arc A-Series "Alchemist" and B-Series "Battlemage" look at how the OpenGL and Vulkan graphics performance has evolved over the past year. Simply put, the open-source Intel Linux graphics driver stack has evolved immensely this year... Not just for Vulkan but even the OpenGL support continues moving in the right direction too.

A bill introduced on Wednesday by California's Sen. Adam Schiff and Rep. Juan Vargas would authorize the attorney general to appoint temporary immigration judges that have served on appellate panels, are administrative judges in other agencies, or have 10 years of immigration law experience.

Such limits would preclude much of the administration's effort to authorize up to 600 military lawyers to be temporary immigration judges; as part of that move, the White House scrapped the requirement that temporary immigration judges should have immigration law experience.

My disk is encrypted with LUKS and I wanted to make it auto-unlock using TPM.

I can't enter UEFI as I have fastboot enabled.

Could anyone help me please? 🫡

One of these days I'll graduate to a real art software tool (and learn how to draw better). Today is not that day.

A 6-year-old Chinese boy has been separated from his father after federal agents arrested the family following a routine immigration appointment in New York City.

The boy’s father, Fei Zheng, is detained inside Orange County Correctional Facility in upstate New York, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s custody records.

In a statement to The Independent, Homeland Security assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin disputed that ICE had separated the father and son while acknowledging that they were in separate custody.

The president and his supporters are proponents of a doctrine known as the “unitary executive” theory – the idea that the president should have complete control over the executive branch. Under this theory, the president should be able to fire any member of the executive branch, and laws – like the one at the center of this case – that restrict his ability to do so violate the constitutional separation of powers between the three branches of government.

The dispute before the court next week began in March, when Trump fired Rebecca Slaughter, whom he originally nominated to the FTC in 2018. In 2023, then-President Joe Biden renominated her to serve a second term, which was scheduled to end in 2029.

Slaughter pointed to a long history – dating back to the founding of the United States – of “multimember agencies whose members are protected from at-will removal.” All three branches of government, she said, “have recognized that this agency structure advances the liberty interest that the separation of powers exists to protect”: Congress has created such agencies, presidents “have signed into law numerous bills creating, funding, and empowering ‘some two-dozen multimember independent agencies,’” and the Supreme Court has upheld those laws “time and again.”

Canada’s proposed Bill S-209, which addresses online age verification, is currently making its way through the Senate, and its passage would be yet another mistake in tech policy.

The bill is intended to restrict young peoples’ access to online pornography and to hold providers to account for making it available to anyone under 18. It may be well-intentioned, but the manner of its proposed enforcement – mandating age verification or what is being called “age-estimation technologies” – is troubling.

Globally, age-verification tools are a popular business, and many companies are in favour of S-209, particularly because it requires that websites and organizations rely on third parties for these tools. However, they bring up long-standing concerns over privacy, especially when you consider potential leaks or hacks of this information, which in some cases include biometrics that can identify us by our faces or fingerprints.
