- Linux Kernel Starts Retiring Support for AMD's 30-Year-Old K5 CPUs
Montag 11:34 – EditorDavid at Slashdot
Linux 7.1 started phasing out support for Intel’s 37-year-old i486 processor. Linux 7.2 removed drivers for the old AMD Elan 32-bit systems on a chip. And now some i586 and i686 class processors are being removed, reports Phoronix: Supporting those vintage GPUs without the Time Stamp Counter „TSC“ instruction are becoming a burden… TSC-capable Intel Pentium processors and the likes will still be supported with this just being for TSC-less i586/i686 CPUs. Among the CPUs impacted by this latest change is the AMD K5 as well as various Cyrix processor models. The K5 was AMD’s first entirely in-h … - Why AEO could be good news for smaller dev tools brands

Montag 7:34 – EditorDavid at Slashdot
Ford’s sales of electrified vehicles — including hybrids and all-electric models — dropped 31% from April 2025, reports Electrek. „Hybrid sales fell 32% to 15,758 vehicles, while EV sales continued to crash with just 3,655 all-electric models sold last month, 25% fewer than in the year prior.“ After discontinuing the F-150 Lightning in December, sales of the electric pickup have been in free fall. Ford sold just 884 Lightnings last month, 49% less than it did last April. The Mustang Mach-E isn’t doing much better.

Montag 3:34 – EditorDavid at Slashdot
The free/open source project OrcaSlicer is a popular fork of 3D printer slicing software from Bambu Lab. But Tuesday independent developer Pawel Jarczak shuttered the project „following legal threats from Bambu Lab,“ reports Tom’s Hardware: Jarczak’s fork of OrcaSlicer would have allowed users to bypass Bambu Connect, a middleware application that severely limits OrcaSlicer’s access to remote printer functions in the name of security. Jarczak said in a note on GitHub that Bambu Lab threatened him with a cease and desist letter and accused him of reverse engineering its software in order to imp … - Most Polymarket Users Lose Money, While Top 1% Claim 76.5% of Gains, Study Finds

Instead of using a traditional mechanical clutch, the system uses electronics to alter how the motor responds based on clutch lever position.

Freitag 20:00 – Nikita Kothari at DZone.com Feed
The Demo Problem: The „Vibe“ vs. The „System“
In 2026, the novelty of an AI agent answering a question has evaporated. Every developer can string together a „Hello World“ demo using the latest Anthropic or OpenAI SDK. These demos usually look flawless on LinkedIn: the agent reads a PDF, summarizes it, and perhaps even „books a flight“ in a mock environment.
However, the „Demo-to-Production Gap“ is wider than ever. When these agents hit real users, they encounter edge cases that a notebook can’t simulate: - Inside What Actually Breaks in Large-Scale S/4HANA Conversions (And How to Prevent It)
Freitag 19:00 – Deepika Paturu at DZone.com Feed
Broken Custom ABAP Code in S/4HANA
From an engineer’s perspective, one of the first headaches in a brownfield S/4HANA migration is custom ABAP code that no longer runs correctly. Unlike a simple upgrade, S/4HANA introduces a new architecture with a simplified data model and revised logic. Many classic SAP ECC tables and transactions either vanish or behave differently in S/4HANA, meaning some Z-programs that worked fine in ECC may now short-dump or produce incorrect results.

Successful HTTP requests have become a deceptively comforting metric in modern web systems. Dashboards show low latency, the network tab fills with green entries and the backend reports clean 2xx rates, yet users experience empty screens, contradictory state, stuck workflows or data that appears to randomly revert. This failure mode is common in Angular applications because the transport layer can succeed while the application layer has already violated a business contract and Angular’s default HTTP and reactive ergonomics are optimized around HTTP-level success versus domain-level correctness … - You’re Getting the Leads — So Why Aren’t You Growing?

For decades, the SOLID principles — Single Responsibility, Open-Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion — have been the undisputed gold standard of object-oriented design. They were forged in an era of monolithic desktop applications and strict C++ or Java hierarchies. However, as our industry has shifted toward microservices, serverless functions, and dynamic languages, many developers find that strictly following SOLID can lead to „over-engineering.“ We end up with an explosion of interfaces for single-method classes and a cognitive load that makes the co … - Stop Waiting For the ‘Perfect Moment’ — It Doesn’t Exist.

Freitag 15:00 – Sanjay Mishra at DZone.com Feed
When you let an LLM turn natural language into SQL, you need to know: is it correct, will it run on your database, and is it efficient? SQLclMCP is an open-source framework that answers those questions by comparing LLM-generated SQL to human-written baselines on Oracle Database — using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and a 500-question TPC-H benchmark. MCP keeps “how SQL is generated” behind a single HTTP API: the evaluator sends a question and gets back SQL, so you can swap models, prompts, or even the server implementation and still run the same evaluation.

Building real-time applications means balancing user responsiveness with heavy backend processing. A proven solution is to decouple heavy workloads using events and asynchronous processing. In this approach, a Spring Boot application quickly publishes events to Kafka instead of processing requests inline. Then Kafka consumers (with AI/ML logic) handle the data in the background, and the results are pushed to clients in real time via WebSockets. This article highlights three key patterns enabling this architecture: Event Production with Spring Boot and Kafka AI-Driven Processing in Kafka Consum … - The Data Warehouse Concurrency Playbook: Surviving the "Super Bowl" Moment

The confusing part here is that the CPU wasn’t paged, the warehouse didn’t look obviously maxed out, and nothing was ‚red.‘ Yet the platform was unusable.
