EU hits Microsoft with a deadline

The deadline refers to a 2004 judgement, where the Commission found the software firm guilty of abusing its market dominance.
Microsoft is supposed to provide details of how it could bring its practices back in line with EU rules.
But Brussels has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction at the slow pace.
We are waiting for the Microsoft people to do their homework," said European Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes.
In addition to a 497m euro ($640m; £343m) fine in March 2004, Brussels ordered Microsoft to open up its core software systems to rivals.
Ms Kroes said it was "too early" to say whether the case against Microsoft could be reopened.

Linux 5.10.8 Kernel Released - Finally Fixes That Btrfs Performance RegressionLinux 5.10.8 is out today as the latest stable release for the Linux 5.10 LTS series. Making this point release notable is that it finally addresses the 5.10 Btrfs performance regression.
As noted back on Christmas, Linux 5.10 was seeing significant slowdowns on Btrfs. For simply unpacking a Linux kernel source .tar.zst file it could easily take multiple times longer on this stable kernel version.
While patches for addressing this poor Btrfs behavior on Linux 5.10 were floating around since before the end of the year, it's taken until now to get them tested and queued up for mainline integration. Linux 5.11 meanwhile has a plethora of Btrfs improvements.
