For more than a decade after the SOPA protests, pirate site blocking was a subject U.S. lawmakers preferred to avoid.
That changed last month, when two site blocking bills were introduced in Congress within ten days of each other.
The first, introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa, is the American Copyright Protection Act (ACPA) which would allow courts to order ISPs, DNS resolvers, and VPNs to block foreign pirate sites.
The second is the DEFEND IP Act, introduced by Reps. Zoe Lofgren and Ben Cline in the House, with Senators Thom Tillis, Chris Coons, Marsha Blackburn, and Adam Schiff leading in the Senate. It merges Lofgren’s FADPA and the Senate’s Block BEARD proposal into the unified bill TorrentFreak reported...

Les services de renseignement ukrainiens ont obtenu des documents montrant que le président russe, Vladimir Poutine, a défini une « nouvelle doctrine » prévoyant des attaques militaires contre un éventail beaucoup plus large de cibles civiles à l’approche de l’hiver, a déclaré samedi Volodymyr Zelensky.

Perhaps the most famous of all the software-defined radio (SDR) receivers is the RTL-SDR, a digital TV receiver on which an undocumented feature was found. Perhaps other radio-enabled chips also have the same undocumented feature? It seems in the case of some members of the ESP32 family, they do. It’s a discovery made independently in two places, by Espargos, and a Reddit user by the name of h0m3us3r.
What’s happening is that the undocumented mode taps the I/Q stream off before the WiFi modem, and this can be read and processed by SDR software on an external computer. The undocumented mode can be found on ESP32 chips with the earlier Tensilica hardware onwards, so the low power Bluetooth only chips or the...

Capcom's Pragmata might be all about the horrors of AI, but in practice the studio doesn't seem so down on the tech. During the Capcom Open Conference RE: 2026 programmer Satoshi Ishida gave a presentation with the mouthful of a title: "The Outlook and Future of the REX Project, Further Evolving the RE Engine for the Next Generation." During the talk he laid out the challenges facing studios producing games at the scale of Resident Evil, which can make even simple tasks extremely time consuming. The solution Ishida said is "successfully integrating AI technology into development workflows."
Capcom has said previously that it will not use AI …

Comme à chaque scrutin, les candidats aux législatives brésiliennes, organisées ce dimanche 4 octobre, sont nombreux à jouer sur l’humour et les références à des personnalités connues pour se faire remarquer. Petit florilège avec la presse brésilienne.

Depuis quelques semaines, il y a un peu de remue-ménage dans notre belle France grâce notamment aux lycéens et étudiants qui sont gavés de leurs conditions de merde pour étudier. Du coup, ils protestent de manière tout à fait légitime, un peu comme avant eux, les soignants, les pompiers, les agriculteurs et j'en passe... Comment leur en vouloir puisqu'à part quelques bandeurs de fascisme et autres agents du chaos à la petite semaine, y'a pas grand monde de très satisfait de ses conditions de vie et de travail en ce moment dans notre chouette pays.
Tout ce qui se passe en ce moment, me parait donc on ne peut plus "naturel", un peu comme quand on a de la fièvre à cause d'un méchant virus.

Kakul Srivastava is the CEO of Splice, the sample platform countless producers rely on for one-shots and melodic loops. Samples pulled from the service have found their way into massive hits like Lisa's "Money" and "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter. (The original samples are here and here, for the curious.)
Before that, Kakul held executive roles at Flickr, Yahoo, GitHub, and Adobe. Throughout her career, Kakul has found herself at the intersection of Silicon Valley and creatives. That's been especially true at Splice, where she's not just expanded the platform's footprint by acquiring Spitfire Audio, but also overseen its forays into the wor …

David Robinson used to write the safety reports that accompanied every major model release at OpenAI. This week, he resigned from his position and is now speaking out in an editorial in The Atlantic.
It's understandable if you're feeling a bit cynical about everyone suddenly coming out of the woodwork to warn about how dangerous the thing they helped build is. They did, after all, make this mess. But that doesn't mean we should discount their warnings. Robinson says that the culture in industry is fundamentally broken. That this is a deeper issue than simply slapping a few new rules or regulations on how we handle training models. Silicon …

[Mini Shaji Thomas] has a deeply interesting article on IEEE Spectrum detailing how the power distribution system for a city of over twenty million people went from failing to first-class. In the early 2000s, over half of Delhi’s generated power was lost to inefficiencies of all kinds, and theft. Losses were technical as well as administrative, and the rampant theft was perpetuated by “both the powerful and the powerless”. Spoiler alert: it’s a big job.
That level of loss is staggering, and caused by many issues rather than just one or two. Many of the problems tended to compound one another. For example, an effective power grid relies on balancing active and reactive power, but if that is not well...

EN ZONE GRISE (4/5). De la Finlande à la Pologne, les murs et les barbelés se dressent aux frontières avec la Biélorussie et la Russie.

More than 50 protests are taking place on Saturday after the government failed to get emergency legislation through parliament.

En pleine crise du logement, des centaines de milliers de personnes ont manifesté, samedi 3 octobre, dans une cinquantaine de villes espagnoles avec comme mot d’ordre “Vers une grève générale”. Faute d’avoir pu faire passer deux décrets pour répondre à cette colère, le Premier ministre songe à convoquer des élections anticipées.

À la veille des élections générales du 4 octobre, dans l’un des systèmes politiques les plus complexes du monde, la confiance s’érode : les partis en lice ne proposent que de vagues objectifs, souvent les mêmes, recyclés d’un scrutin à l’autre, constate le site “Radio Free Europe”.

My colleague Cameron Faulkner models a pair of Xreal glasses. | Photo: Cameron Faulkner / The Verge Why am I suddenly buying up every 3D Blu-ray I can find after 3D became one of the biggest tech flops of all time? The technology's finally ready for 3D movies to shine, more than 15 years since James Cameron's Avatar wowed me on the big screen and went on to become the highest-grossing film worldwide. Video glasses are giving me the experience I've always desired.
I've always loved 3D movies, but viewing them was awkward. Walking into a movie theater with a pair of polarized glasses, I would only get half the resolution and roughly half the brightness, since those glasses had to split one reflected image...

[Ogrinz Labs] has built a Robbie the Robot suit, which is super-cool, but has a huge flaw. When inside the suit, he’s too tall to do what the original Robbie actor did, which was to look through the “mouth” grille. He solved this with an inexpensive automotive reversing camera, but then realised its monitor had a built-in on-screen-display chip. After a lot of work, he’s published a GitHub repository that allows access to this thing for custom on-screen graphics.
The chip in question is an AMT630A, which contains video switching hardware, a graphics system for the on-screen-display, and an 8052 microcontroller core. He didn’t manage to get into the 8052’s brain, but the video below details the long...

Cyrus began consistently documenting New York City in the nineties. His images of Harlem—its streets, its jazz clubs, its dark, soulful nights—evoke the place like nothing else.

A new documentary about the reality series, which gave participants extreme makeovers before pitting them against one another in a beauty pageant, fails to grapple with the show’s cruelty, or with the culture that enabled it.

It wasn’t that long ago that a science teacher would have told students that there was no evidence of planets around other star systems. Even more recently, they might have said that while we’ve seen evidence of extra-solar planets, we would never be able to see them directly. But that’s all changed. [Jason Wang] has several videos that use images taken over years to visualize the orbit of several large exoplanets.
Of course, some extrapolation is involved. According to [Jason]:
We unfortunately do not have the luxury of watching these planets every night and record them. However, these planets move slowly, with orbital periods at least decades long, and predictably following Kepler’s laws. We can use...

Internet radios have been a thing in some form for the last quarter century, and the advent of cheap networked microcontrollers has made them easier than ever to build. But just how small can one be made? [Milen] has made one that’s about as small as we’ve seen, and put it up on Instructables.
The hardware recipe is straightforward enough; take a microcontroller, connect it to the internet, and have your internet radio software squirt its output to a DAC. In this case the microcontroller is an ESP32-C£ on a very small dev board, and clipped to that is a custom PCB with a PCM5102A I2S DAC and an amplifier. The whole thing is tiny, small enough in fact that the two connectors are significant in size...

Tuta, le webmail allemand chiffré de bout en bout, a annoncé le 1er octobre dernier l'arrivée d'une application Tuta Mail dans l'App Store de Nextcloud. Pour vous la faire en clair, ça veut dire que si vous avez une instance Nextcloud, vous pouvez maintenant y ouvrir votre boîte Tuta directement dans l'interface !
Trop cool hein ?
Cela n'avait rien d'évident car Tuta refuse l'IMAP. En effet, selon l'éditeur, ce protocole l'obligerait à laisser vos mails en clair sur l'appareil, ce qui casserait son chiffrement. Or l'app Mail de Nextcloud se branche justement sur des comptes IMAP... Tuta a donc carrément mis son propre client web dans l'application (c'est sous licence libre en plus), comme ça, ils...

Alors ça c'est fou mais fallait s'y attendre... Un joueur allemand a acheté un processeur Ryzen 7 5800X3D d'occasion (lien affilié), l'a monté dans son PC, puis a lancé Valorant ! Selon ce qu'il explique sur Reddit, il s'est alors fait virer du jeu de Riot dès le tout premier lancement ! Problème de compte ? Que nenni ! En fait il s'est fait dégagé à cause du processeur car son premier propriétaire était un tricheur !
D'après Heise , le support de Riot lui a bien confirmé que l'ancien propriétaire trichait. Du coup, le CPU s'est retrouvé sur une liste noire chez eux, ainsi que la carte mère et le stockage. Et bien sûr, on peut venir chialer au support, Riot ne retirera pas ce matériel banni...

“Until recently, the gentoo penguin (aka Pygoscelis papua) was thought to be a single species spread across several areas. However a team of penguin experts led by scientists from University of California, UC Berkeley, and several institutions from Chile recently studied their genes and confirmed the gentoo is actually four separate species. Gentoos tend to stick close to their breeding colonies, returning to the same nesting sites year after year. Over time, this meant different populations became isolated and adapted to their local environments, eventually evolving into separate species. The Eastern gentoo (Pygoscelis taeniata) lives on the Crozet, Marion, and Macquarie Islands, while the Northern gentoo...

“Using advances in machine-learning, researchers from MIT, Carnegie Mellon University, New York University, and Stanford University developed an AI that defeated top-ranked human players of the board wargame Stratego by a large margin — something no AI system had been able to achieve. Stratego, a two-player game of imperfect information, in which the opponent’s piece identities remain hidden, is often used as a benchmark to test the strategic thinking abilities of powerful AI models. To build their model, the researchers combined efficient training algorithms with new techniques tailored for calculated decision-making in hidden information settings. The AI system achieved greater performance at Stratego...

“Geothermal company Fervo Energy announced Thursday morning that it had started selling electricity from its Cape Station power plant to the grid on September 30, one day ahead of schedule. With it, Fervo becomes the first enhanced geothermal company to reach a key commercial milestone. The power plant synchronized with the grid about a week ago, bringing online the first third of what will soon become a 100-megawatt power plant… From groundbreaking to commercial operations, the first block at Cape Station took 23 months to complete. As Fervo refines its process, it is aiming to complete future blocks in as little as 18 months. That sort of speed to power should appeal to power-starved data center...

“Bird-shaped kites and a floating scarecrow are being tested to try to stop endangered seabirds drowning in fishing nets. Every year an estimated 95,000 diving birds, including razorbills and guillemots, are accidentally caught in nets off European coasts. But simple deterrents tested by Cornish fishers and devised by scientists and the RSPB have been shown to reduce the toll by about two-thirds. The scarecrow – or more properly a looming-eyes buoy – has a spinning head with two large eyes that scare diving birds away from gillnets, walls of netting which hang vertically beneath the surface.” From The Guardian.

“Vehicle thefts continued their nationwide decline during the first half of 2026, falling 21% compared with the same period last year, according to a new analysis from the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), the leading, established non-profit dedicated to identifying insurance fraud.

The United States experienced a vehicle theft rate of approximately 77.81 thefts per 100,000 people during the first two quarters of the year. The decline was widespread, with all 50 states recording year-over-year percentage decreases in vehicle thefts during the first half of 2026, extending a broader downward trend in...

Last October, DISH Network sued the people it believes are behind Kemo IPTV and Lemo TV, together with Florida reseller 1 Dollar IPTV.
When none of the defendants responded in court, DISH asked for a $28.65 million default judgment in March. At the time, it appeared that the case would be over soon.
That changed in September when one of the defendants, Ammar Towir, asked the court to set aside the default. DISH argued that the defendant owns and operates the Kemo and Lemo domains, as well as the financial accounts behind them. However, Towir argues that he was never properly served, saying that he lived in Dubai and not at the Malaysian address where the complaint was sent.

Quand j’ai parlé des cassettes VHS avec deux bandes son, je me suis demandé une chose : est-ce qu’on peut le faire manuellement ? Avec un magnétoscope un peu haut de gamme, c’est parfaitement possible, et donc j’ai fait une petite expérience : enregistrer une piste de commentaires du réalisateur en parallèle de la bande son d’origine sur une VHS. C’est une pratique apparue dans les années 80 avec le LaserDisc aux États-Unis : la variante NTSC des disques permettait d’avoir deux bandes son séparées, une en numérique et une en analogique. Criterion, un éditeur, en a profité pour permettre à un spécialiste de parler de la restauration du film King Kong pendant le film, justement....
