Law enforcement operations against pirate IPTV networks are now a regular occurrence, particularly inside the EU. Yet those that manage to physically take down or seriously disrupt an entire supply chain are very rare indeed and in practical terms, increasingly unlikely to happen.
The fact that international law enforcement collaboration can be very effective is undisputed, with the caveat that success often extends only as far as borders and politics allow. One of the most obvious signs that shutting down sources remains a problem is the constant calls for site blocking measures; questionably effective, perhaps, but easier to control than sources in far-away lands.

Potential changes to Chinese regulations may also force Tesla to update its flush door handle design. Tesla is redesigning the electronic door handles that are currently under investigation for trapping people inside their vehicles. In an Interview with Bloomberg, Tesla design chief Franz von Holzhausen said that the company is looking to make the handles more intuitive for occupants in “a panic situation.” The update will involve combining the electronic and manual door-release mechanisms into one button, replacing the current design, which has them in separate locations. These changes are likely being made in response to a safety probe launched by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration...

What a lovely canvas for ads. | Image: Samsung A software update rolling out to Samsung’s Family Hub refrigerators in the US is putting ads on the fridges for the first time. The “promotions and curated advertisements” are coming despite Samsung insisting to The Verge in April that it had “no plans” to do so. Samsung is calling it a pilot program for now, which — I kid you not — is meant to “strengthen the value” of owning a Samsung smart fridge. Here’s the full statement Samsung sent to Android Authority: Samsung is committed to innovation and enhancing every day value for our home appliance customers. As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen that value, we are conducting a pilot...

The way to get into radio, and thence electronics, in the middle years of the last century, was to fire up a shortwave receiver and tune across the bands. In the days when every country worth its salt had a shortwave station, Cold War adversaries boomed propaganda across the airwaves, and even radio amateurs used AM that could be listened to on a consumer radio, a session in front of the dial was sure to turn up a few surprises. It’s a lost world in the 21st century, as the Internet has provided an easier worldwide medium and switch-mode power supplies have created a blanket of noise. The sounds of shortwave are thus no longer well known to anyone but a few enthusiasts, but that hasn’t stopped [gnd buzz]...

Dans un système où l'inégalité fiscale se creuse au niveau européen, la question de la taxation des grandes fortunes est au cœur des débats politiques. Parmi les propositions, la fameuse “taxe Zucman”, portant le nom de l'économiste Gabriel Zucman, revient régulièrement dans les discussions. Cette taxe plancher a pour objectif de s'assurer que les ultra-riches, dont le patrimoine dépasse 100 millions d'euros, paient au moins 2% de leur fortune en impôts. Mais cette mesure ne fait pas l'unanimité et paraît même radicale pour certains. Une proposition pour résoudre l'injustice fiscale

It’s not often that Hackaday brings you something from a cooking channel, but [I Want To Cook] has a fascinating look at Pyrex glassware that’s definitely worth watching. If you know anything about Pyrex it’s probably that it’s the glass you’ll see in laboratories and many pieces of cookware, and its special trick is that it can handle high temperatures. The video takes a look at this, and reveals that not all Pyrex is the same.
Pyrex was a Corning product from the early 20th century, and aside from its many laboratory and industrial applications has been the go-to brand for casserole dishes and much more in the kitchen ever since. It’s a borosilicate glass, which is what gives it the special...

WiFi is an excellent protocol, but it certainly has its weaknesses. Its range in even a normal home is relatively limited, so you could imagine the sort of performance you’d expect through the hundred meters of dense woodland that [DO3RB] is trying to penetrate. So naturally the solution was to develop a new wireless transceiver for the ISM band. 
Of course, getting reliable packet transmission is tough. In a building with brick walls, WiFi will get around five to ten percent packet loss. For TCP to remain reliable, one percent packet loss is the maximum designed loss of this wireless protocol. In reality, the transceiver achieves 0.075% packet loss real world.
The crux of the magic behind this excellent...

Radio experimenters often need a variable capacitor to tune their circuits, as the saying goes, for maximum smoke. In decades past these were readily available from almost any scrap radio, but the varicap diode and then the PLL have removed the need for them in consumer electronics. There have been various attempts at building variable capacitors, and here’s [radiofun232] with a novel approach.
A traditional tuning capacitor has a set of meshed semicircular plates that have more of their surface facing each other depending on how far their shaft is turned. The capacitor presented in the first video below has two plates joined by a hinge in a similar manner to the covers of a book. It’s made of tinplate,...

La conception selon laquelle la vie mentale s’explique en tant qu’économie d’énergie est bien antérieure aux Grands Modèles de Langage (LLM) et aux neurosciences contemporaines. Le manuscrit inédit de Freud intitulé Esquisse d’une psychologie scientifique, datant de 1895 (in Freud 1956), décrivait l’activité psychique comme l’effort visant à décharger une « quantité » (Quantausgleich) et à minimiser le « déplaisir ». Freud n’avait pas accès aux mathématiques qui lui auraient permis d’étayer son ébauche de modèle, mais son intuition s’accordait étonnamment au formalisme actuel de la théorie de l’optimisation.

Is 2025 finally the year of non-planar 3D printing? Maybe it won’t have to be if [Ten Tech] gets his way!
Ironing is the act of going over the top surface of your print again with the nozzle, re-melting it flat. Usually, this is limited to working on boring horizontal surfaces, but no more! This post-processing script from [Tenger Technologies], coupled with a heated, ball-shaped attachment, lets you iron the top of arbitrary surfaces.
At first, [Ten Tech] tried out non-planar ironing with a normal nozzle. Indeed, we’ve seen exactly this approach taken last year.  But that approach fails at moderate angles because the edge on the nozzle digs in, and the surrounding hot-end parts drag.
