Developers working on Apple Silicon support just dropped a new set of patches. They target NVMe storage access on the M4 chip. The work comes from Yureka Lilian. It builds directly on months of quiet progress inside the Asahi Linux project and related kernel efforts.
Storage sits at the heart of any usable system. Without reliable NVMe, even a booting kernel offers little value. These changes make that piece functional on Apple’s latest silicon. But don’t expect production laptops anytime soon. The path from patch to polished desktop remains long.

Linus Torvalds prepares to ship Linux 7.2. The kernel stands at more than 43 million lines. That figure comes straight from Phoronix’s feature overview. And the code keeps growing. Even as old sections get removed.

Search professionals have long chased followed links from high-authority domains. Yet the rules shifted years ago. Backlinks still carry weight. Their dominance has faded.
According to data compiled by Search Atlas, backlinks now account for about 45 percent of off-page ranking influence in 2026, down from 80 percent in 2012.

Houston welcomed Tim Cook on a humid August morning. The Apple CEO stood alongside U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, Senator Ted Cruz, and local leaders as the company officially opened its Advanced Manufacturing Center. The 20,000-square-foot facility sits inside a larger plant already building AI servers and preparing to assemble Mac minis later this year. This marks more than a ribbon-cutting. It signals Apple’s accelerated push to anchor high-tech production stateside.
