The #7955 bug report is over the S-Hoai Windows client displaying an application exception when clicking the “File” or “Projects” menu.
S-Hoai is a Windows application used in Germany by architects and building engineers/contractors for managing estimates and billing according to German laws.
This S-Hoai “Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure” software on at least older versions has been borked running under Wine with little activity in the bug report over the years.
But now in Wine Staging 9.11 is an OLEDB32 patch where mode can have multiple values as a string.
That will hopefully take care of the issue for S-Hoai and any other similar Windows software.
Separately, Wine Staging 9.11 carries an ODBCCP32 patch to correct the look-up of DSN before writing to registry.

Ah shoot, I wasn’t aware posts about them were a no-go, specially since this is a useful tool for people that already have hardware from them, it isn’t any sort of news about “hey buy our new product” or something like it.
I gotta be honest: it’s deeply frustrating and dismaying that Intel is tied up with Israel, but the fact remains that, as technical professionals, it is literally impossible to avoid Intel, because enterprise customers don’t really care about that BDS list. Ignoring technical innovations from Intel - one of the leading CPU manufacturers since CPUs became a thing - is only going to kneecap your own knowledge and expertise.
Intel Low Power Mode Daemon v0.0.4 has been released with “LPMD” being the open-source daemon for optimize active idle power for modern Core hybrid CPUs under Linux that sport a combination of the E and P cores.
The Intel LPMD selects the most power efficient CPUs based on the detected CPU topology or a user configuration file.
Then based on system utilization and other hints it will put the system into a low-power mode when applicable by engaging the most power efficient CPU cores and disabling the higher power/performance cores when not needed.
This Low Power Mode Daemon so far hasn’t been too commonly used by Linux distributions or popular with Intel Linux users, but alas still in its early days and only today crossing the v0.0.4 milestone.
With the support for multiple low-power states, Intel LPMD can define multiple states based on EPP / EPB / ITMT settings, IRQ migration, and task migration.
I’ve been meaning to run some Intel LPMD power/performance impact benchmarks and now with this new release is a great time to do so.

I like that he is being decisive about it. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the feature was only being delayed because of internal project politics or quirky policies that normally make sense, but don’t in this specific scenario.
The potential for distros optimized for specific tasks without needing to swap out entire kernels. A “gaming” focused scheduler probably looks different from a big data cruncher or a super multi-tasker server.
