<li><strong>Linux kernel gets critical ACPI fix and OOM management via BPF</strong>: Upcoming Linux kernel versions, including 6.20/7.0, will integrate support for Microsoft’s ACPI Turn On Display DSM, resolving critical hardware issues like cooling fans failing on some Lenovo Yoga Slim models after suspend/resume cycles. Additionally, Google engineers are advancing patches to manage out-of-memory (OOM) behavior using eBPF programs, offering a more programmable approach to memory exhaustion in the kernel, as reported by Phoronix. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=NT39y376C&amp;id=QVssY3RTX" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Upwind security raises $250M for runtime cloud security</strong>: Upwind Security secured $250 million in Series B funding, valuing the company at $1.5 billion. Their platform uses an “inside-out” approach, analyzing internal signals like network requests and API traffic to provide runtime cloud security, contrasting with traditional agentless scanning. The company, founded by <a href="http://ex-Spot.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">ex-Spot.io</a> builders, achieved 900% year-over-year revenue growth and plans to expand AI security capabilities and misconfiguration prevention. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/LGgCBPA2D" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Kubernetes ingress NGINX deprecation sparks migration urgency</strong>: The Kubernetes Ingress NGINX project will cease security patches in March 2026, impacting roughly half of cloud-native environments. This deprecation, driven by maintainer burnout, necessitates migration to alternatives like Gateway API, Envoy Gateway, Traefik, or Cilium. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges of open-source sustainability for critical infrastructure, as discussed by DevClass and CNCF. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=wK9Dxbori&amp;id=PptBbhnAu" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Tesla robotaxis crash more than human drivers, transparency optional</strong>: Tesla’s robotaxi fleet in Austin reportedly crashes three times more often than human drivers overall, and nine times more for police-reported incidents, despite having safety monitors. Meanwhile, Tesla conveniently redacts all crash narratives in its NHTSA reports, unlike competitors like Waymo who operate truly driverless vehicles and have a better safety record. Nothing to see here, just move along, the future is totally safe. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/M8WkrOIKM" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI will make computer vision engineers optional, apparently</strong>: A new platform, Anisoptera’s Dragonfly, claims to replace specialized computer vision engineers with a no-code solution, positioning itself as the answer to the ‘AI talent bottleneck.’ Because, clearly, the complex nuances of computer vision can be fully automated by non-technical users. Engineers, better start brushing up on your ‘architectural skills’ like ‘vendor evaluation’ and ‘business communication’ because writing code is apparently for the plebs now. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/L9vFphH6F" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
