Not cool: who hacked France’s supermarket fridges?https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/17/who-hacked-frances-supermarket-fridges
Whether it was youngsters proving their skills or state sabotage, Europe’s most hacked country was left with a mountain of waste after food began cooking in freezers Shortly before midnight last Sunday, the digital thermostats controlling hundreds of supermarket cold aisles across France began to flicker and rise. In a “bizarre and unprecedented” cyber-attack, hackers had remotely overridden the temperature settings on thousands of freezers, fridges and chiller cabinets pushing them from as low as -27C (-16.6F) to well over 50C (122F).

Receiving and decoding satellites is (in my opinion) one of the coolest things you can do with a radio. The problem is that it has a steep learning curve.

Netsat is an internet stream that simulates the experience of receiving a satellite signal with an SDR. I simplified the physics quite a bit to make it easier to get started. In the future I'm looking to add more simulated satellites that give users a bit more of a challenge. More realistic physics, location based sig…

Show HN: I benchmarked 6 MCP proxies in Claude Code, then built my ownhttps://rabin-a.github.io/mcp-router
I compared 6 MCP proxies inside Claude Code. Most advertise 85–99% token savings, but those numbers assume every tool schema is loaded upfront, and Claude Code already avoids that. On real tasks, 4 of them used more tokens than no proxy at all, and 2 couldn't finish the tasks. So I built my own router, which cut tokens by 13–44% and completed every task.

Show HN: Pogi – AWS, Google Cloud and Azure on your machine, in one binaryhttps://github.com/nrndev/pogi
I built pogi to test cloud code locally without an emulator per service or a test account. It's one Go binary that serves 181 services across AWS, Google Cloud and Azure on one port. The official SDKs, CLIs, Terraform and the CDK work unchanged, and there's a web console, IAM checks, chaos rules, snapshots built in and much more... Some services are deep, others cover the common calls; the coverage page is honest about which. MIT licensed, no account. It's v0.1.0, so I'd love to hear what breaks. - website : https://pogi.nrnx.dev - Launch video : https://youtu.be/Grq8Dl_C4hQ - repo. : https:/…
