<h4>Gadget of the Week Playstation 5 Controller</h4>
<p><a href="https://www.playstation.com/en-us/accessories/dualsense-wireless-controller/" rel="nofollow">DualSense™ Wireless PS5 Controller</a> </p>
<ul>
<li><p>The DualSense wireless controller for PS5 offers immersive haptic feedback2, dynamic adaptive triggers2 and a built-in microphone, all integrated into an iconic design.</p></li>
<li><p>Feel physically responsive feedback to your in-game actions with dual actuators which replace traditional rumble motors. In your hands, these dynamic vibrations can simulate the feeling of everything from environments to the recoil of different weapons</p></li>
<li><p>Experience varying levels of force and tension as you interact with your in-game gear and environments. From pulling back an increasingly tight bowstring to hitting the brakes on a speeding car, feel physically connected to your on-screen actions.</p></li>
<li><p>Available from Sony for $69.99</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/20201219062336.72568-1-roderick@gaikai.com/" rel="nofollow">Linux driver support</a></p></li>
</ul>
<p>[From Roderick Colenbrander](<a href="mailto:roderick.colenbrander@sony.com" rel="nofollow">roderick.colenbrander@sony.com</a>)</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Supported in linux<br>
*DualSense in both Bluetooth and USB modes<br>
*LEDs<br>
*Touchpad<br>
*Motion Sensors<br>
*Rumble</p></li>
<li><p>Not supported yet<br>
*Adaptive Triggers<br>
*VCM based Haptics</p></li>
</ul>
<p>These features require a large amount of data and complex data structures. It is not clear how to<br>
expose these. The current Evdev and FF frameworks are too limiting. We hope<br>
to have a dialog on how to expose these over time in a generic way.</p>
<ul>
<li>Companies are starting to get it - make a good controller, make the code open so everyone can use it, people will buy your controller.</li>

<h4>XFCE 4.16 has been Released!</h4>
<p><a href="https://www.xfce.org/about/tour416" rel="nofollow">https://www.xfce.org/about/tour416</a></p>
<ul>
<li><p>The Settings Manager itself received a visual refresh of its filter box<br>

<li><p>Added fractional scaling based on the RandR extension of X11</p></li>
<li><p>Added more default keyboard shortcuts out of the box (Examples: for window tiling or to open Thunar)</p></li>
<li><p>xfce4-panel</p></li>
<li><p>The panel received quite a few noteworthy updates<br>
*Animation for autohide and intellihide<br>
*New 'Status Tray' plugin that combines both legacy Systray item support with modern StatusNotifier item support<br>
*Dark mode support<br>
*Launchers showing additional actions on right-click<br>
*Window buttons offering to Launch a new instance</p></li>
<li><p>XFCE Power Managment was cleaned up</p></li>

<h4>[DarkTable](darktable.org) - 3.4 Encore!</h4>
<p><a href="https://www.darktable.org/2020/12/darktable-3-4/" rel="nofollow">https://www.darktable.org/2020/12/darktable-3-4/</a></p>
<ul>
<li><p>Best professional photography tools out there</p></li>
<li><p>This is the second major release of 2020</p></li>
<li><p>5,500 commits in 2020!</p></li>
<li><p>Many of the computationally-intensive image processing algorithms have been updated to be faster and more scaleable when running on the CPU.</p></li>
<li><p>Improved operations to a number of the tools</p></li>
<li><p>Releasing the first version of the new user manual, now split into a separate project named “dtdocs”. We have completely reorganised and rewritten the manual into a more maintainable structure using Markdown. This project has involved new content as well as a significant overhaul of the text, making it much easier to read for native English speakers</p></li>
<li><p>In addition, filmic RGB version 4 now works with OpenCL and highlight reconstruction is now significantly faster with OpenCL-enabled hardware.</p></li>
<li><p>New Module: Color Calibration</p></li>
<li><p>Tone Equalizer Improvements</p></li>
<li><p>Export Print Sizes</p></li>
<li><p>Map View Changes</p></li>
<li><p>The global color picker module UI has been overhauled</p></li>
<li><p>It is now possible to automatically hide the header buttons on processing modules in the darkroom</p></li>
<li><p>Hovering your mouse over the header of a processing module now displays a tool tip providing detailed in-app documentation.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Many users have requested customization of module groups, and now that feature is here! Processing modules in the darkroom can now be assigned to user-defined module groups. This replaces the previous “favorites” group and the “more modules” module with a tool that allows you to create your own module groups and presets based on your work flow.</p>
