A sprawling informal economy of rogue streaming devices has taken hold across the U.S., as consumers fed up with rising TV subscription costs turn to cheap Android-based boxes that promise free access to thousands of live channels, sports events, and on-demand movies for a one-time $200 to $400 purchase.
The two dominant players -- SuperBox and vSeeBox -- are manufactured by opaque Chinese companies and distributed through hundreds of American resellers at farmers markets, church festivals and Facebook gr

Ежегодный хакатон YADRO и МИЭТ набирает обороты. Апрель, Зеленоград, четыре трека… нет, пять! Пятый SoC Design Challenge — пять треков, красивое совпадение. К топологии, RTL, UVM- и системной верификации присоединился трек DFT, Design for Testability. На кону по-прежнему кое-что интересное: fast track на летнюю стажировку YADRO Импульс, дополнительные баллы при поступлении в магистратуру МИЭТ, FPGA- и RISC-V-платы, логические анализаторы, полезная периферия, мерч. И конечно — приятная смесь из чувства собст Read more ›

Мой ИИ-дед продержал мошенника на линии 31 минуту. Диктовал номер партбилета вместо карты, уходил кормить кота, вспоминал молоко по 28 копеек — и ни разу не сказал «нет». Мошенник орал, матерился и бросил трубку. Геннадий Петрович так и не нашёл очки. Под катом — как собрать такого деда из Whisper + Llama, разбор записи того самого звонка и статистика за месяц.

Если вы пишете тесты на ZIO, то с моками, скорее всего, уже сталкивались. И почти наверняка — с ZIO Mock. Формально он решает задачу, но на практике ломает Arrange‑Act‑Assert, «краснит» в IDEA и иногда падает так, что вы видите только InvalidCallException: null. В Яндекс Вертикалях мы довольно долго жили с этой библиотекой — пока количество таких тестов не перевалило за пару сотен и они не расползлись по десятку команд.Меня зовут... Read more ›

Google выпустил Gemini 3.1 Pro — новую версию своей флагманской модели. Релиз состоялся 19 февраля 2026 года и сразу вызвал обсуждение в профессиональном сообществе: многим было важно понять, насколько заметны изменения по сравнению с предыдущей версией. В этой версии акцент сделали на логике и устойчивости в сложных сценариях. Модель лучше держит длинные цепочки рассуждений, аккуратнее работает с большими объемами данных и реже дает сбои там, где раньше могла запутаться. В... Read more ›

Apple's forthcoming touch-screen MacBook Pro models -- the company's first-ever laptops to support touch input -- will feature the iPhone's Dynamic Island at the center top of their OLED displays and a new interface that dynamically adjusts between touch and point-and-click controls, according to a Bloomberg report citing people familiar with the plans. The 14-inch and 16-inch models, code-named K114 and K116, are slated for release toward the end of... Read more ›

Беспроводные технологии стали одним из самых распространенных аспектов современного мира. Возможность использовать устройство без необходимости постоянно быть привязанным к розетке — это прекрасно, но иногда все же требуется зарядить батарею, а этот процесс может варьироваться по длительности. Сокращение времени зарядки стало одной из задач, которую хотели бы решить не только ученые и инженеры, но и вечно спешащие куда-то пользователи. Ученые из Оксфордского университета (Великобритания) решили подробно изу Read more ›

Исследователи утверждают, что они придумали умный способ сделать непотопляемые алюминиевые трубки, надёжно удерживающие воздушные пузырьки внутри.Трубки узкие, их диаметр составляет около 5 мм. Но из них можно собирать более крупные конструкции, и использовать их для плавучих платформ или устройств, предназначенных для получения энергии из колебаний океанских волн.«Я считаю, что океан по-прежнему остаётся огромным неиспользованным ресурсом», — сказал Чунлей Го, профессор оптики и физики Университета Рочесте Read more ›

A software engineer tried steering his robot vacuum with a videogame controller, reports Popular Science — but ended up with "a sneak peak into thousands of people's homes." While building his own remote-control app, Sammy Azdoufal reportedly used an AI coding assistant to help reverse-engineer how the robot communicated with DJI's remote cloud servers. But he soon discovered that the same credentials that allowed him to see and control his... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Guardian: You wear them at work, you wear them at play, you wear them to relax. You may even get sweaty in them at the gym. But an investigation into headphones has found every single pair tested contained substances hazardous to human health, including chemicals that can cause cancer, neurodevelopmental problems and the feminization of males.

Andrew Yang, the former presidential candidate and longtime Universal Basic Income advocate, published a blog post this week warning that AI is about to displace millions of white-collar workers in the U.S. over the next 12 to 18 months, a wave he has taken to calling "the Fuckening." Yang cited a conversation with the CEO of a publicly traded tech company who said the firm is cutting 15% of its... Read more ›

An anonymous reader shares a report: Meta product managers are rebranding. Some are now calling themselves "AI builders," a signal that AI coding tools are changing who gets to build software inside the company. One of them, Jeremie Guedj, announced the change in a LinkedIn post last week. "I still can't believe I'm writing this: as of today, my full-time job at Meta is AI Builder," he wrote. Guedj has...

An anonymous reader shares a report: In 2013, scientists unveiled the first lab-grown burger at a cost of $330,000. By 2023, the FDA approved cultivated chicken for sale. The price had dropped to around $10-$30 per pound, and over $3 billion in investor money had poured into more than 175 companies developing meat grown from animal cells instead of slaughtered animals. The promise is straightforward: real meat, no slaughter required.... Read more ›

OpenAI faces four fundamental strategic problems that no amount of fundraising or capex announcements can paper over, according to analyst Benedict Evans: it has no unique technology, its enormous user base is shallow and fragile, incumbents like Google and Meta are leveraging superior distribution to close the gap, and its product roadmap is dictated by whatever the research labs happen to discover rather than by deliberate product strategy. The company... Read more ›

Lockheed Martin's F-35 combat aircraft is a supersonic stealth "strike fighter." But this week the military news site TWZ reports that the fighter's "computer brain," including "its cloud-based components, could be cracked to accept third-party software updates, just like 'jailbreaking' a cellphone, according to the Dutch State Secretary for Defense."

IBM shares plunged nearly 13% on Monday after Anthropic published a blog post arguing that its Claude Code tool could automate much of the complex analysis work involved in modernizing COBOL, the decades-old programming language that still underpins an estimated 95% of ATM transactions in the United States and runs on the kind of mainframe systems IBM has sold for generations. Anthropic said the shrinking pool of developers who understand... Read more ›

AI security firm Irregular has found that passwords generated by major large language models -- Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini -- appear complex but follow predictable patterns that make them crackable in hours, even on decades-old hardware. When researchers prompted Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 fifty times in separate conversations, only 30 of the returned passwords were unique, and 18 of the duplicates were the exact same string. The estimated entropy of... Read more ›
