In addition to content inspired by the movie 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker', Star Wars: Battlefront 2 will also receive a new edition this month — the Celebration Edition will launch on December 5. Initially, the festive version of the game was revealed by the True Achievements service, and today a mention of the project could be seen in the European PlayStation blog. The Celebration Edition includes […]
The long-awaited day has finally arrived when I can present this development. The project was started exactly one year ago, on September 1, 2018; at least in the RRS repository on GitHub, the first commit has that date. Passenger train at Rostov-Glavny station (clickable) What is RRS? It is an open cross-platform simulator of 1520 mm gauge rolling stock. […]
The theory of 'management' has greatly succeeded in analyzing leadership behavior, studying the reasons for their successes and failures, and systematizing knowledge on how to develop strong qualities in themselves and combat weak ones. Foreign theorists receive particular attention from us. Ask your boss what to read on this topic or request them to name their 'favorite book'. You will surely hear the names Goldratt, Adizes, […]
After two and a half years of development, the release of emulator Bochs 2.6.10 has been announced. Bochs supports CPU emulation based on x86 architecture, from i386 to current x86-64 models of Intel and AMD processors, including the emulation of various processor extensions (VMX, SSE, AES, AVX, SMP, etc.), standard input/output devices, and peripherals (emulating video cards, sound cards, Ethernet, USB, etc.). […]
The Linux-Hardware.org project has published statistics on hardware used in Linux over the past five years. The study involved users who uploaded hardware samples during this period using the hw-probe program. The results correlate with the yearly Ubuntu User Statistics report from Canonical. Despite the fact that in most parameters, the statistics from Canonical and Linux-Hardware.org differ within 10 […]

The project code is written in C++ (interface on Qt) and is distributed under the GPLv3 license. LibrePCB includes: Project management interface; Schematic editor; Multi-layer PCB editor with cloning support […]
The kinetic energy of the Sapsan at maximum speed exceeds 1500 megajoules. To come to a complete stop, all of it must be dissipated by the braking systems. I was asked to elaborate on this topic right here on Habr. There are quite a few overview articles published on railway topics, but this particular theme has not yet been covered in detail. I think it would be quite interesting […]
I see that the first, historical part of my narrative was well received by the audience, so there's no reason not to continue. High-speed trains, like the TGV, no longer rely on pneumatic braking. Today we will talk about modern times, specifically about the approaches used in the 21st century to create braking systems for rolling stock, which will soon be celebrating its third decade. 1. Classification of brakes […]
The CAINE 11.0 (Computer Aided INvestigative Environment) release has been unveiled. This specialized live distribution is designed for conducting forensic analysis, searching for hidden and deleted data on disks, and uncovering residual information to reconstruct the breach of the system. The distribution is based on Ubuntu and features a unified graphical interface built on the MATE shell to manage a variety of utilities for exploring both Unix and Windows […]
On November 19, Football Manager 2020 was released and, according to GamesIndustry, immediately topped the EMEAA weekly chart, surpassing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. In the second week since its release, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is holding its second position, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has dropped to fourth place [...]
The MAT2 0.10.0 utility has been released, designed for removing metadata from files in various formats. The program addresses the issue of residual data remaining in documents and multimedia files, which may be perceived as undesirable for disclosure. For example, photographs may retain data about location, time of capture, and device used, while edited images may contain information about the operating system and the programs used [...].
Jeremy Soller, the founder of the Redox operating system written in Rust, spoke about the successful use of Redox on the System76 Galaga Pro laptop (Jeremy Soller works at System76). Fully functional components include the keyboard, touchpad, storage (NVMe), and Ethernet. Experiments with Redox on the laptop have already improved driver performance and provided HiDPI support for some […]
