Linux Driver Posted For Enabling Apple Web Camera Support For M-Series Macs
A set of patches were posted today for review by the upstream Linux kernel developers in providing driver support for the Apple web camera and image signal processing (ISP) for Apple M-Series devices. This is enough to get the web camera support working on recent MacBooks while this code is now undergoing review for hopefully being mainlined in the Linux kern…

Greg Kroah-Hartman Makes A Compelling Case For New Linux Kernel Drivers To Be Written In Rust
The debate over the Linux kernel's Rust programming language policy continues... While some kernel maintainers are against it, Linus Torvalds has reportedly said he would override maintainers that may be against honoring Rust code. Linux's second-in-command Greg Kroah-Hartman has also been a big proponent of Rust kernel code. He's crafted another …

🥳 Happy 20th birthday, Einstein@Home! 🎉
The distributed volunteer computing project was launched on this day in 2005.
Since the launch of @einsteinathome on 19 February 2005, nearly half a million participants from around the world have donated idle computing time on their PCs and smartphones to search for astrophysical signals from spinning neutron stars – small, massive, and exotic remnants of exploded stars.
Einstein@Home is one of the world’s largest volunteer computing projects and a scientific success story: It has discovered more than 90 new neutron stars, some of them very unusual, through their radio and gamma-ray pulsations. It is also conducting some of the most sensitive searches for continuous gravitational waves from unknown neutron stars in @LIGO data. Finding the elusive waves would provide a new astronomical tool for studying extreme gravity and matter and fundamental physics.

To date, 55 radio pulsars have been discovered by @einsteinathome and its volunteers, and there may be many more to come.
“Einstein@Home has found radio pulsars in archival data that have been thoroughly analyzed many times before,” says Colin Clark, group leader of the Pulsars group at the @mpi_grav in Hannover, Germany. “This is why we expect to find many more exciting radio pulsars with Einstein@Home in the future.”

In 2011, @einsteinathome researchers realized that the highly efficient methods they had developed to search for continuous gravitational waves could be put to an entirely new use. Working with colleagues at the @MPIfR_Bonn in Bonn, Germany, they set their sights on analyzing data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.
In 2013, they reported the discovery of their first four gamma-ray pulsars found in Fermi data.
Over the next few years, the full discovery potential of Einstein@Home’s analysis of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope data became clear. Einstein@Home volunteers helped find 39 previously unknown gamma-ray pulsars. This corresponds to about one eighth of all known gamma-ray pulsars.
“One of the great things about the enormous collective computing power of Einstein@Home is that it lets us push the boundaries, and make discoveries that would be otherwise impossible,” says Colin Clark. “We have solved year-old mysteries, found a pulsar hidden in plain sight, the first millisecond pulsar visible only in gamma rays, and a record-breaking ‘spider pulsar’ that evaporates its lightweight companion.”
