A Handy Battery Optimizer for Ubuntu Laptops
‘Slimbook Battery 3’ is an open source desktop tool designed to help improve and increase the battery life of laptops running Ubuntu.
Although the tool is intended for use on Slimbook’s own range of Linux laptops it will work on any laptop, regardless of brand, so long as it’s running Ubuntu or a derivative.
There are two parts to the tool:
The first is a tray-based applet for selecting a power/performance state. This offers quick switching between three energy modes: “energy saving”, “balanced” and “maximum performance”.
You’ll also see an ‘Off’ setting, an ‘Advanced Mode’ option (more on that in a moment) and an ‘Exit’ value. The latter closes the app fully and deactivates whatever energy saving mode that was active.

Supergiant Games now have Bastion, Transistor and Pyre up on itch.io
Supergiant Games did something awesome today, as they've put all three of their older games up on itch.io with Bastion, Transistor and Pyre.
Fantastic to see another highly regarded games developer and their games up on itch, they're all awesome games too and I finally got around to playing through Pyre recently and as expected the quality of it was incredible. Since I'm writing about it, you can rest assured that all three games on itch also have their Linux versions up with no delay.
