Computing News and Announcements
September 3, 2026 6:10pm
The Linux Lab machines should be available to you again. Certain firmware updates took significantly longer than expected; we apologize for any inconvenience.
It is likely there will be at least one more (hopefully much quicker) round of updates just prior to the start of the school year.
Please send any questions or comments to help@ece.uw.edu.
