Pragmata взломали за два дня до релиза. Шесть слоёв защиты Denuvo и как их обходят через гипервизор

15 апреля 2026 года Pragmata, новый sci-fi экшен от Capcom, появилась на пиратских ресурсах. Игра официально вышла 17 апреля. Платящие клиенты ждали разблокировки в Steam, а пираты уже бегали по лунной станции. Денуво, который должен был защитить хотя бы первые недели — самые продажные дни, ради которых эту защиту и покупают — пробит через hypervisor bypass от команды DenuvOwO. И это не аномалия: с декабря 2025-го Denuvo проигрывает каждую неделю.... Read more

If Black Flag Resynced isn't enough for you, rumours swirl that we're also getting a full remake of the original Assassin's Creed game

After three long years of rumours, reports, leaks, a couple of official teases, we finally have confirmation that Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake is real, under the guise of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. But it seems Resynced isn't the only Assassin's Creed remake title in development, at least if you believe the chatter from a couple of reliable leakers. Read more Read more

Тайна Motorola StarTAC: полный анализ схемотехники телефона из 90-х

Прошлая статья про полный разбор схемотехники современного кнопочного телефона вам понравилась. Однако в опросе и комментариях я встречал альтернативное мнение: мол обзор современного устройства, где все компоненты уже включены в SoC - не особо интересен из-за слишком высокого уровня интеграции. Читатели очень хотели узнать о том, что "под капотом" у первых GSM-телефонов, и не раздумывая я начал искать документацию и готовить статью в поистине уникальной рубрике...Сегодня на примере легендарной раскладушки.

Scientists have discovered that moringa seeds can help pull microplastics out of water, rivaling standard chemical treatments. The plant-based extract causes plastic particles to clump together, making them easier to filter away. In some conditions, it even outperformed conventional chemicals. This low-cost, natural solution could be a game-changer for cleaner drinking water, especially in smaller communities. Read more

AI-powered personas are becoming so realistic that they can infiltrate online communities and subtly steer public opinion. Unlike traditional bots, they adapt, coordinate, and refine their messaging at a massive scale, creating a false sense of consensus. Early warning signs—like deepfakes and fake news networks—have already appeared in global elections. Researchers warn that the next election could be the true test of this technology’s power.

A trio of common amino acids may hold the key to unlocking far more powerful gene therapies. Researchers found that adding them to lipid nanoparticles can boost mRNA delivery up to 20-fold and push CRISPR editing efficiency close to 90%. The trick isn’t changing the drug—but helping cells take it in more easily. In early tests, the approach dramatically improved survival and treatment outcomes, pointing to a simple but game-changing... Read more

Cancer cells are known for their “glutamine addiction,” but many can escape this weakness by switching to alternative fuels. Researchers found that vitamin B7 acts like a metabolic “license,” enabling this escape route through a key enzyme. Without biotin, cancer cells lose that flexibility and stop growing. Mutations in a cancer-linked gene can make this vulnerability even stronger, offering a promising new target for therapy. Read more

A unique hybrid honeybee thriving in Southern California may hold a powerful clue to saving struggling bee populations. While U.S. beekeepers are losing massive numbers of colonies—largely due to destructive Varroa mites—a locally adapted mix of feral and diverse bee lineages is showing remarkable resilience. These bees aren’t immune, but they carry far fewer mites and are far less likely to require chemical treatments. Even more surprising, their resistance appears... Read more

Scientists at UC Riverside have found a clever new way to outsmart termites—by turning their own instincts against them. Using a natural pine scent called pinene, which smells like food to termites, researchers can lure the pests straight toward a targeted dose of insecticide hidden in wood. The result is dramatically higher kill rates—jumping from about 70% to over 95%—without the need for widespread toxic fumigation. Read more

A popular Korean skincare ingredient may be far more powerful than anyone realized. Scientists have discovered that madecassic acid—derived from the herb Centella asiatica—can stop antibiotic-resistant bacteria in their tracks, including dangerous strains of E. coli. By targeting a bacterial protein that humans don’t have, the compound disrupts the microbes’ ability to survive, making it a promising new type of antibiotic. Read more

A major discovery is reshaping how scientists think about catalysts. Researchers have, for the first time, captured oxygen atoms moving through the interior of a catalyst—not just along its surface. This reveals that the bulk material can actively participate in reactions, opening a new frontier in catalyst design. The finding could lead to smarter, more efficient systems by harnessing this hidden internal pathway. Read more
