thursday may 21 2026 06 00pm from the new and improved dept vivaldi 8 0 is being pitched as the browser s most significant design overhaul yet featuring a new unified edge to edge interface six preset layouts and deeper customization across tabs toolbars panels and themes the company is also taking a swipe at rivals chasing questionable ai features neowin reports after updating to version 8 0 vivaldi will present you with the ability to select one of the six pre built styles you can select a minimal edge to edge theme one with the ui fully hidden for focused work or a power user variant with everything on the screen the update comes with a built in collection theme and users are free to select one of over 7 000 community themes available on the official website vivaldi says that while other browsers were busy adding questionable ai features it focused on a foundation that no other browser can match with flexible tab management built in productivity tools and advanced customization at the same time vivaldi does not force the new design onto its users so those who prefer the previous user interface can go back to it at any moment in settings with 8 0 we have done something we have been working toward for a long time we have given the browser itself a visual system worthy of everything it can do says vivaldi s ceo and co founder jon stephenson von tetzchner with this update vivaldi feels like one considered coherent tool you can download vivaldi 8 0 and view the changelog at their respective links 183311818 story trump calls off ai executive order over concern it could weaken us tech edge 42 posted by beauhd on thursday may 21 2026 05 00pm from the innovation vs risk dept trump called off a planned ai executive order just hours before a signing ceremony because he said he was worried the framework could slow america s lead over china we re leading china we re leading everybody and i don t want to do anything that s going to get in the way of that lead trump told reporters the associated press reports the order would have established a framework for the government to vet the national security risks of the most advanced ai systems before their public release according to a person familiar with the white house s deliberations with the tech industry but not authorized to speak about it publicly the directive was being characterized as a voluntary collaboration with participating u s based tech companies including anthropic openai and google the person said there are competing factions within the administration said serena booth a computer science professor at brown university and former ai policy fellow in a democratic led senate committee we do see this kind of public fighting she said we will release an executive order no we won t we re going to sign it this afternoon oh the signing is canceled i think this whiplash is because we re seeing these fractures some of those divides are balancing what booth said is a reasonable idea to test the most capable ai models before their public release with a concern that government scrutiny if it takes too long could burden ai developers it does come at a potential very large cost to innovation and speed of development she said there is i think a real risk here and i do see both sides they don t want to do it because it s politically risky in a million different ways said dean ball now at the foundation for american innovation ball said he would welcome an executive order that would get those companies working more closely with the government on cybersecurity but ultimately i m fine with them taking time to get this right 183310860 story flipper one could be the ultimate linux cyberdeck nerds xyz 28 posted by beauhd on thursday may 21 2026 04 00pm from the nerd bait dept brianfagioli writes flipper devices has finally revealed flipper one a linux powered cyberdeck that sounds less like a gadget and more like an attempt to rebuild portable arm computing from the ground up unlike flipper zero which focuses on offline protocols like rfid and sub 1 ghz radio flipper one is all about networking modular hardware sdr experimentation local ai and upstream linux kernel support the company says it wants to build the most open and best documented arm computer in the world complete with zero vendor bsp dependency and as few binary blobs as possible that alone is enough to get linux folks paying attention the hardware itself is loaded with nerd bait dual gigabit ethernet wi fi 6e m 2 expansion for ssds and 5g modems gpio add ons hdmi 2 1 and a dual processor architecture pairing a rockchip rk3576 with a raspberry pi rp2350 microcontroller flipper devices is even developing its own small screen linux ui framework because squeezing kde onto tiny touchscreens is miserable the company openly admits the project is financially and technically terrifying which honestly makes this announcement feel more believable than most startup hardware pitches whether flipper one succeeds or not it is one of the most ambitious linux hardware projects in years 183310416 story us to award 2 billion to quantum companies take equity stakes thequantuminsider com

service for the new feature or how many tickets artists would set aside with reserved though the service acknowledged there will be significantly more superfans than there are seats available on a tour so not every fan will receive an offer 183309976 story waymo pauses atlanta service as its robotaxis keep driving into floods techcrunch com 98 posted by beauhd on thursday may 21 2026 01 02pm
