Linux kernel 7.1 introduces a new in-kernel NTFS driver, a complete ground-up rewrite that delivers native read and write access to Windows NTFS volumes directly within the kernel without any userspace tools.
It replaces the slower FUSE-based NTFS-3G and the previous NTFS3 driver. Performance gains include 3-5 percent faster single-threaded writes, 35-110 percent faster multi-threaded writes, and mounting times for large drives up to four times quicker. The driver also features lower CPU overhead, better integration with modern kernel infrastructure, and improved reliability.
This update marks a major step forward for Linux-Windows storage interoperability.

Told my son Claude goes “Hmm…” while thinking.
His response: “Oh, like a Minecraft villager.”
He’s not wrong. Now I hear the villager sound every time it thinks. ⛏️🤣

I ran Claude Code on a Nintendo Switch! Here's how.
The original 2017 Switch has an unpatchable hardware exploit (Fusée Gelée) that allows you to boot into Recovery Mode by shorting two pins in the Joy-Con rail. I used a folded piece of aluminum foil instead of a commercial RCM jig (because I didn’t want to wait for Amazon delivery, haha).
From there:
• Injected @CTCaer Hekate bootloader payload via a browser-based tool
• Partitioned the SD card and installed @switchroot_org's L4T Ubuntu Noble 24.04
• Installed @claudeai Code using the native Linux installer
• Ran it successfully from the terminal on the Switch's Tegra X1 chip
The entire process is non-destructive if you copy everything from the Switch’s SD card and save it. The Switch's internal storage is never touched because everything lives on the SD card. To restore, you just reformat the card and copy your original files back. Fun little experiment!
Pro tip for all the dev dads out there: Never build a custom AI exam for your kid. They will find you in Minecraft, and they will show no mercy... 🥲🎮 RIP my pixels.

The Claude C Compiler is the first AI-generated compiler that builds complex C code, built by @AnthropicAI. Reactions ranged from dismissal as "AI nonsense" to "SW is over": both takes miss the point.
As a compiler🐉 expert and experienced SW leader, I see a lot to learn: 👇
