In recent years, YggTorrent was France’s largest and most active torrent community, serving millions of users.
The torrent site was not a typical torrent indexer. The community is powered by a dedicated tracker, something that’s quite rare these days.
This thriving community was severely tested last December when its operators introduced a paid ‘Turbo Mode’. This triggered a revolt, with users and uploaders actively looking for alternative French torrent trackers. Just as the storm appeared to have calmed, YggTorrent’s operation was shaken up by a final blow this week, after unknown people breached the site, stole data and funds, and exposed the entire operation.

You may or may not be reading this on a smartphone, but odds are that even if you aren’t, you own one.

En 2016, j’avais testé un disque dur externe assez étonnant pour Canard PC Hardware (n°29, pas en ligne) : l’Innov8 de Seagate. Ce modèle de 8 To, vendu à l’époque 400 € (une capacité qui reste onéreuse en 2026), est unique à ma connaissance : il est auto-alimenté en USB-C. Même en 2026, tous les modèles basés sur des disques durs 3,5 pouces sont alimentés en externe, et seuls les modèles 2,5 pouces (qui font au mieux 6 To) sont auto-alimentés (et souvent en USB-A, mais c’est un autre problème).

Old desk phones are fairly useless these days unless you’re building a corporate PBX in your house. However, they can be fun to hack on, as [0x19] demonstrates by porting DOOM to a Snom 360 office phone. 
The Snom 360 is a device from the early VoIP era, with [ox19] laying their hands on some examples from 2005. The initial plan was just to do some telephony with Asterisk, but [ox19] soon realized more was possible. Digging into a firmware image revealed the device ran a Linux kernel on a MIPS chip, so the way forward became obvious.
They set about hacking the phone to run DOOM on its ancient single-color LCD. Doing so was no mean feat. It required compilation of custom firmware, pulling over a better...

Entering SKALA codes during RBMK operation. (Credit: Pripyat-Film studio)
Running a nuclear power plant isn’t an easy task, even with the level of automation available to a 1980s Soviet RBMK reactor. In their continuing efforts to build a full-sized, functional replica of an RBMK control room as at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant – retired in the early 2000s – the [Chornobyl Family] channel has now moved on to the SKALA system.
Previously we saw how they replicated the visually very striking control panel for the reactor core, with its many buttons and status lights. SKALA is essentially the industrial control system, with multiple V-3M processor racks (‘frames’), each with 20k 24-bit words of RAM....

WOH G64 has always been an oddball. It sits in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy that orbits the Milky Way, and it ranks among the most extreme red supergiants known. Earlier estimates put it at roughly 1,540 times the Sun’s radius. It also sheds mass at an unusually high rate and sits inside a thick, dusty environment that partly hides what is going on. Then, around 2014, the star did something rare: it changed in a way that did not bounce back. A new study led by Gonzalo Muñoz-Sanchez at the National Observatory of Athens, published in Nature Astronomy, argues that WOH G64 shifted away from its red supergiant state and into a warmer, short-lived phase that resembles a yellow hypergiant. That kind...

If you’ve ever used a ballpoint pen with a clip on the top, you’ve probably noticed they bend pretty easily. The clip relies on you only bending it a small amount to clip it on to things; bend it too far, and it ends up permanently deformed. [Craighill] decided to develop a pen clip that didn’t suffer this ugly malady. 
The wire clip design easily opens wide because the spring wire is not actually deforming much at all. Credit: YouTube video, via screenshot
The problem with regular pen clips comes down to simple materials science. Bend the steel clip a little bit, and the stress in the material remains below the elastic limit—so it springs back to its original shape. Push it too far, though, and...

It threatened or retaliated against them when they considered leaving. To even attempt to win business, Dahlquist said, ticketing rivals needed to offer "retaliation insurance" to venues worried …

Loose ends bother some minds more than others. When the world feels messy, a story that ties every thread into one knot can feel like relief. That pull toward order sits at the center of a new study led by Flinders University. The work suggests that a person’s “systemizing” style, a strong drive to find patterns and consistent rules, can predict who is more drawn to conspiracy beliefs. The researchers argue this matters because conspiracy beliefs can shape vaccine uptake, trust in institutions, and how people respond during emergencies. “People often assume conspiracy beliefs form because someone isn’t thinking critically,” says Dr Neophytos Georgiou from Flinders University’s College of...

If conflict drags on, that could potentially play into Donald Trump's plans to "drill, baby, drill" - but that doesn't necessarily protect Americans from higher energy prices. Keep in mind that it's still too early to tell what kind of war the US may have sparked. The spike...

In this context it is also worrying that the product page claims that over a 100,000 of these have been sold.
