Today, we at SFC, along with our OpenWrt member project, announce the production release of the OpenWrt One. This is the first wireless Internet router designed and built with your software freedom and right to repair in mind. The OpenWrt One will never be locked down and is forever unbrickable. This device services your needs as its owner and user. Everyone deserves control of their computing. The OpenWrt One takes a great first step toward bringing software rights to your home: you can control your own network with the software of your choice, and ensure your right to change, modify, and repair it as you like.

The OpenWrt One demonstrates what's possible when hardware designers and manufacturers prioritize your software right to repair; OpenWrt One exuberantly follows these requirements of the copyleft licenses of Linux and other GPL'd programs. This device provides the fully copyleft-compliant source code release from the start. Device owners have all the rights as intended on Day 1; device owners are encouraged to take full advantage of these rights to improve and repair the software on their OpenWrt One.

Priced at US$89 for a complete OpenWrt One with case (or US$68.42 for a caseless One's logic board), it's ready for a wide variety of use cases. Manufactured in collaboration with Banana Pi, the OpenWrt One uses the MediaTek MT7981B SoC, with MT7976C wifi, 1 GiB DDR4 RAM, 128 MiB SPI NAND + 4 MiB SPI NOR flash, two Ethernet ports (2.5 GbE and 1 GbE), a USB host port, M.2 2042 for NVMe SSD or similar devices, and mikroBUS expansion header. The OpenWrt offers both PoE (Power over Ethernet) via the 2.5 GbE port , or direct power via the USB-C power port with 12V USB-PD. A convenient USB serial interface is built into the other USB-C port: expert users won't miss any boot messages! This hacker-friendly device is unbrickable, providing a switch to separately flash the NOR and NAND portions of the flash memory.

      Fan Control V269 by Razvan Serea Fan Control is a powerful and versatile portable utility that allows you to monitor, control and customize the fans of your GPU and CPU to keep your machine cool and running smoothly. Fan Control supports a wide range of devices and hardware configurations, giving you complete control over your computer's cooling system.

Main features Guided setup process on first launch Save, edit and load multiple profiles Change the theme and color of the application. Multiple temperature sources ( CPU, GPU, motherboard, hard drives... ) Multiple fan curve functions, including a custom graph Mix fan curves or sensor togethers (max, min, average) Low resource usage Advanced tuning with steps, start %, stop %, response time and hysteresis FanControl V269 changelog: Allow only 1 service client at a time App title no longer show the full path Add service retry policy by default Fix pre-pairing issue between control and speed cards Fix a bug with ADLX % (duty) reporting Download: FanControl V269 | Installer ~20.0 MB (Open Source) View: Fan Control Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      I spent a good 15 min today trying to get new Outlook to use my default browser instead of forcing links into Edge. That kinda tactic is shady and it sucks.

      Vivaldi 8.0.4033.42 by Razvan Serea Vivaldi is a cross-platform web browser built for – and with – the web. A browser based on the Blink engine (same in Chrome and Chromium) that is fast, but also a browser that is rich in functionality, highly flexible and puts the user first. A browser that is made for you. Vivaldi is produced with love by a founding team of browser pioneers, including former CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, who co-founded and led Opera Software. Vivaldi’s interface is very customizable. Vivaldi combines simplicity and fashion to create a basic, highly customizable interface that provides everything a internet user could need. The browser allows users to customize the appearance of UI elements such as background color, overall theme, address bar and tab positioning, and start pages. Vivaldi features the ability to "stack" and "tile" tabs, annotate web pages, add notes to bookmarks and much more. Changes in Vivaldi 8.0.4033.42: [Chromium] Update to 148.0.7778.256 ESR [User Agent] Set Chromium version spoof to 149.0.7827.53 [Crash][Extensions] Using chrome.tabs.discard(…) (VB-126984) [Periodic Reload] Settings are not saved anymore (VB-128316) [Tabs] Stack names are lost after browser restart (VB-128321) [Themes] Vivaldi menu button no longer touches the upper left corner (VB-128124) Download: Vivaldi 64-bit | 139.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Vivaldi 32-bit | ARM64 View: Vivaldi Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      Also try installing an alternative browser on ChromeOS. You have to enable dev mode and run it as a Linux app. Clunky.
