Hmm.. found an odd thing in Linux.. On my laptop which is an Intel AX201, Bluetooth audio works fine but on another laptop with Intel AX200 the audio is all distorted and choppy.. I've ruled out the wireless headphones since I used 2 separate ones and both worked perfectly fine on the AX201 but were horrible on the AX200.

Just wondering if there's anyone who has an AX200 chipset and has used Bluetooth audio on Linux with it before?

President Donald Trump sealed a deal that gives the U.S. government a nearly 10% stake in Intel, part of an unconventional bid to reinvigorate the beleaguered company and boost domestic chip manufacturing. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/23/us-intel-stake/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #intel #chipmakers #us #donaldtrump #investments #computers

Intel is ending development of Clear Linux after ten years. The GNU/Linux distro was optimized for x86_64 chips and had a reputation for being super speedy. But it seems to be a victim of budget cuts and will no longer receive any updates (including security patches). https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-Ends-Clear-Linux#ClearLinux#Intel#Linux

This is more of a curiosity, and to see what the bias is here on #Mastodon, so here is a band of characters that might be a potential travel buddy in a month or so. As a poll on this default instance only allows for 4 options, and there are 6 to choose from, respond to this toot with you're choice of travel companion. #Boost this to get the largest audience it can find.

Did you know that the 'NT' in Windows NT stood for "Nine Ten"?

The intended core platform for the OS was the then-expected Intel i910 RISC processor, which was to be the rebranded moniker for the i860 that can be found in the wild.

It never came to be due to the i860s terrible handling of context switching -- a capability that a CPU for a multitasking, multiuser workstation OS must be able to do very_efficiently. The i860 wasn't.

** EDIT: Several have pointed to sources indicating differently that NT stood for N10, which was the codename for the i860, so -- N10, N-Ten > NT.

FreeBSD 14.3 got a greatly improved support for Intel WiFi hardware (iwlwifi driver).

Finally, the AX210 (802.11ac) wifi card in my ThinkPad T480 works perfectly fine without having to rely on the wifibox workarround anymore.

IPv4 works perfectly fine
IPv6 work perfectly fine
Standby and resume woks
Speeds are phenomenal

Also the WiFi configuration is rather easy:

In /etc/rc.conf:
wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode sta regdomain ETSI country DE"
ifconfig_wlan0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"

In /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
ssid="Hoda-IOT"
scan_ssid=0
psk="my-secure-wifi-key"
priority=10
}

Amazing progress for FreeBSD on laptops 😄 I really like it!
