Windows 11’s New Low Latency Profile Pushes Your CPU Into Short Overclocking Bursts To Kill Start Menu Stutter

A blue Windows logo is shown next to the text 'Low Latency Profile' with a stylized speedometer icon.

While the latest feature doesn't get enabled by default, users can still enable it manually from a workaround. Microsoft Rolls Out Low Latency Profile, A CPU Boost Feature That Accelerates App Launch and Core Shell Experiences It might seem small, but this will actually have an effect on your system's performance. As spotted by Windows Latest, Microsoft has rolled out a new feature in the new 2026 optional update, KB5089573/Build 26200.8524, as a part of the May update. The new feature is called "Low Latency Profile", which will temporarily push the CPU harder for short moments. It doesn't appear explicitly […]

You can now install Linux on your PS5

Andy Nguyen (TheFloW) has launched a guide to installing Linux on a PS5. By publishing the technical steps to turn a PlayStation 5 into a fully functional PC, Nguyen has effectively handed players a β€œPlan B” for hardware ownership. This jailbreak targets disc-version consoles running older firmwares, but not all equally.

The developer published the guide and all things necessary for this procedure on GitHub (via VideoCardz). Once the OS is installed, users are greeted by a Ubuntu 26.04 Resolute Raccoon environment running on Linux kernel 7. Surprisingly, the installation is quite sophisticated, offering custom VRAM allocation, granular fan control, and a boost mode that can be toggled through system files. It essentially turns the console into a pseudo-Steam Machine, though it is currently limited to 60 Hz across all resolutions. Future updates may unlock 120 Hz support, but for now, the driver development team is focusing on the stability of 2K and 4K output at 60 FPS.

The guide only works with PS5 consoles running firmware versions 3.00 through 4.51. M.2 storage support is limited to firmwares in the 4.XX range. While firmware downgrading might be possible, the reliability of such a process remains a gamble for most users.

There are, of course, the usual growing pains associated with such a port. Wireless networking has its issues, often requiring a manual restart of the WLAN adapter, and the DualSense controller's built-in Bluetooth functionality is also not working. Perhaps the most important caveat is that this remains a soft mod. If the console is restarted, the Linux environment vanishes, requiring the jailbreak to be reapplied. While this might sound troublesome, it serves as a safety net, as the base PlayStation OS remains entirely untouched.

Keychron releases 3D printing files for its keyboards and mice

Keychron has published a GitHub repository containing CAD files for its hardware designs, effectively making its keyboards and mice open-source hardware. The collection provides the community with access to 3D models and 2D plate files, enabling users to produce or modify enclosures and internal components using 3D printing or CNC milling.

First reported by Noteboocheck, Keychron has published a GitHub repository with most of its hardware designs. These repositories include STEP and DXF files, which are compatible with CAD software such as FreeCAD, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD. The available designs cover a comprehensive range of components, including keycaps, keyboard housings, buttons, plates, mouse shells, and stabiliser housings.

Access to the files is managed through the Keychron website. Users select a specific hardware model from a menu and complete a checkout process to receive the download links. Keychron states that while these files are publicly accessible, the license prohibits their use for commercial purposes.

Although there are already plenty of model files available for download, some newer releases, like the Q Ultra series, are not. However, it seems Keychron is still adding more models, so we might see the missing ones at a later date.

KitGuru says: Do you think other peripheral brands should make their hardware designs open source? Will you consider this the next time you buy a peripheral?

Intel Publishes XeSS 3 SDK On GitHub, But It Remains Closed-Source

Intel XeSS 3 MFG "Multi-Frame Gen" With Up To 4x Mode Unveiled, Coming To All Arc GPUs With XMX Cores, XeSS 2 Games Supported & Further Perf/Efficiency Optimizations For Arc

The promised "open-source" upscaling technology remains closed-source, as we see Intel rolling out the XeSS 3 SDK. Intel Rolls Out XeSS 3 SDK on GitHub for Game Developers, Still Distributed as Windows Binaries Intel has released the XeSS 3 SDK (software development kit) on GitHub recently, giving developers broader access to its latest AI upscaling and frame-generation technology. While this improves accessibility to the latest upscaling technology, it remains closed-source since the SDK is currently distributed as proprietary Windows binaries. XeSS 3 and Multi-Frame Generation, which debuted alongside Intel Panther Lake series, have already expanded to more hardware recently, including […]
