In this post we gonna tell you about How to start/stop/get for the #google compute instance with python.
Sometimes we don’t want (or need) a compute engine instance running 24hs every day but we need to run #task/s periodically. To solve this we can have an app engine task runing using cron service to start the VM instance. Once the VM has started, it can have a startup script that runs the actual task it was needed for and then stops the machine.

📰 Intel Drivers With Mesa 26.2 Ready With Xe In Linux 7.1 To Better Handle vRAM Pressure
Merged to the Intel Xe kernel graphics driver with Linux 7.1 is an addition to improve the video RAM memory pressure or out-of-memory behavior for Intel graphics with dedicated video memory. Introduced is support for purgeable buffer objects via a new user-space API to provide usage hints for enhancing what is purged under vRAM pressure. Merged this week to Mesa 26.2-devel is support for the Intel Mesa drivers to make use of this new interface...
