Logitech Spot sensor and Rally Board 65 offer smarter tools for hybrid work and video conferencing
Logitech has introduced two new products designed to improve workplace efficiency and collaboration. The Logitech Spot sensor monitors occupancy and environmental conditions, while the Rally Board 65 offers a portable all-in-one video conferencing solution with a 65-inch touchscreen display.
The Logitech Spot tracks room usage and environmental factors like carbon dioxide levels, dust, and other pollutants. Poor indoor air quality can hinder productivity and well-being, and Spot provides businesses with actionable insights to optimize air quality and reduce energy costs. The battery-powered device is easy to install with a peel-and-stick design and connects wirelessly to Logitech CollabOS devices or LoRaWAN gateways for spaces without video conferencing technology. Data is fed into Logitech Sync, where IT teams can view room health and energy scores and receive recommendations for improvement.
Wine 10.0 uncorks smoother support for running Windows apps on Linux
The Wine team has officially released Wine 10.0, marking a full year of extensive development with over 6,000 changes. This stable release introduces major updates designed to improve performance, compatibility, and visual experience when running Windows applications on Linux (and other non-Windows platforms).
Perhaps the most impressive arrival in Wine 10.0 is the addition of full support for the ARM64EC architecture, now on par with ARM64. This allows developers to build hybrid ARM64X modules that blend ARM64EC and ARM64 code in a single binary. While currently reliant on an experimental LLVM toolchain, the upcoming LLVM 20 release should streamline support. The update also introduces 64-bit x86 emulation, using ARM64EC to allow Wine’s internal processes to run natively, reducing the need for resource-intensive emulation.

Meta will continue to use fact checkers -- for now, at least, and only outside of the US
When Mark Zuckerberg announced recently that Meta was ditching fact checking on Facebook and Instagram in favor of X-style community notes, the response was very mixed. While hardly a clean line between the two camps, those with conservative political leanings tended to see this as a good thing, while those of a more liberal bent voiced concerns about the potential for misinformation.
The recent announcement about moving away from fact checking was widely seen as Zuckerberg trying to curry favor with Donald Trump, now installed as the 47th president of the USA. Now a new pronouncement from the company makes it hard to shake the notion that stepping away from fact checking was a politically motivated move.
