  • 1.  IT Jungle was really off their game yesterday.

    The line " IBM i 7.6, which is required on all of the Power11 machines as far as we know. " was so very wrong.  https://www.itjungle.com/2025/07/28/the-turning-point-for-power-systems-is-here-and-now/

    Power 11 runs IBM i 7.4-7.6, and likely iNext.
    Power 10 (generally) runs 7.3-7.6 and likely NOT iNext (if the pattern holds up)
    Power 9 (generally) runs 7.2-7.5 and not IBM i 7.6

    Some Power 9 also runs 7.1, upon a special agreement from IBM. Not sure it's still available, though.

    Good catch on this one.  I was thinking the same thing.

    Hi,

    Yeah, it really felt like an off day for IT Jungle. When sites or services start acting up like that, I usually just step away and kill time on something light until things stabilize. Lately I've been revisiting endless runner games on my phone since they don't depend much on external services. I was actually checking out a detailed breakdown of Subway Surfers gameplay features and offline play options here: https://subwaysurfersapkworld.com It's handy when the internet mood isn't great and you just want something smooth and distraction-free.
