The companies involved have all been slammed by Elon Musk or are Twitter competitors. Musk once called himself a "free speech absolutist." After the media broke the news, t.co revoked the delayed redirect for specific domain names.

The content of the article stated that the cause of the sharp drop in the resistivity of the LK-99 sample and the partial suspension of the magnet was due to impurities in the material, especially cuprous sulfide. This conclusion completely broke the hope of LK-99 as the first room temperature and pressure superconductor in history.

30th Anniversary of Debian
On August 16th, Debian's official blog posted a post to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Debian's birth. Thirty years ago, Debian founder Ian Murdock (deceased) sent an email to the comp.os.linux.development newsgroup saying that he had completed a new Linux distribution, which he named "The Debian Linux Release".
It can be said that this version was created by hand from scratch. lan laid out the guidelines for running this new release, stipulating the approach the release will take in terms of size, upgrade methods, installers, etc., with very careful consideration for users without an internet connection. Unaware that he had started a movement in the nascent F/OSS community, lan continued to work on Debian development. With the help of newsgroups and volunteers from around the world, Debian has grown to become one of the largest and oldest free operating systems available today.

AMD releases RGD 1.0 tool to help post-mortem analysis of lock failures after GPU crashes
AMD today released the Radeon™ GPU Detective (RGD) 1.0 tool, focusing on fixing driver time-out (TDR) and black screen issues.
Users can use the RGD 1.0 tool to perform post-mortem analysis of GPU crashes after encountering issues such as black screens and TDRs, and generate information that helps narrow down the search for the root cause of the crash. This information includes page fault details, resource details, and execution flags, reflecting the GPU work in progress at the time of the crash. (IT House)
