Microsoft is testing a 'Low Latency Profile' that spikes CPU frequency for 1-3 seconds when opening apps, dramatically reducing launch times.

HashiCorp founder Mitchell Hashimoto's new terminal emulator, Ghostty, is taking the dev world by storm. Written in Zig with GPU acceleration and native split-screen, it finally solves the dilemma of having to choose between blazing speed and modern features.
If Ghostty isn't your speed, check out Ratty. It's a new terminal emulator that supports inline 3D graphics, pushing the boundaries of what a command-line interface can actually render.
Google is quietly overhauling its account registration process to fight SIM-swap attacks and bot farms. Instead of receiving an SMS code, new users must now scan a QR code and actively send a text message from their device to prove they're human.
The Bastl Kalimba has raised over $700k on Kickstarter by combining a traditional thumb piano with a wild synthesizer engine. The tines don't make much acoustic sound, but they drive a chaotic electronic soundscape.
