New desktop app simplifies stripping out bundled software, with heavier cuts carrying security and support risks
Another IoT cyberattack , this one in France: Hackers gained control of the software that regulates the temperatures of the refrigeration units, forcing some to warm to 50C (120F) overnight, according to one supermarket chain affected. […] Normally, supermarket freezers go through a short period of defrosting overnight, in which temperatures rise slightly. But the hackers ordered the units to heat up and stay hot, although Danfoss did not confirm any reports about just how warm the fridges and freezers could become in that process. Danfoss said the affected cold units were older models whos…

The kingdom of Hyrule has been prettified, the soundtrack is newly orchestrated and our hero feels strikingly different under the thumbs … we play a hands-on demo of Nintendo’s Switch 2 remake of a 1998 game-changer When beloved art is revisited and revised, a familiar cry is often heard: “You’re ruining my childhood!” But with Nintendo’s Switch 2 remake of Ocarina of Time, there are also livelihoods at risk: specifically, the man running the shooting gallery in Castle Town. In the original 1998 version of the game, he’d rip off players as they funnelled rupees and fudged the th…

The AI-enabled operation used spoofed emails, fake government documents, and the creation of a local organization to target schools in Peru and Ecuador, among other efforts.

I built this for my own use case, and I think other people could benefit from it. It's essentially a Rust rewrite of the ffmpeg CLI command, but with a modern API and good defaults + a native HTML/CSS composition engine that's been fine tuned for speed and memory efficiency. Under the hood, it still uses the libav* codecs from ffmpeg, so it can still work on a variety of formats. Works very well with AI agents too: prompt what kind or intro/animation/graphics you need (or give it a reference), let the LLM come up with the HTML/CSS for it (Opus 5.5 is quite good at this), and let it use them o…
hey everynyan, i've always found it funny how much effort goes into making websites look good, only for every new user to be greeted by the same boring pfp. and if you're building an app with hundreds of users, you're probably either assigning random images from a small collection or asking users to upload their own. i wanted something better for the default state. so i built blobz. it turns any string into a playful svg avatar. same string will get same avatar every single time and you don't need to store the generated images. i ended up making a react package, shadcn-compatible components,…

I was telling my kids about Candystand, and when I tried to have them play on various archive sites found that it was annoying to get going in a modern browser. So I reverse engineered six Candystand games and added online multiplayer and chat and some basic mobile support as a little preservation project for these games that were such a staple of my childhood (and still hold up today, honestly).
