An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Anthropic quickly removed a tracker secretly monitoring Claude Code users in China after a security researcher exposed the hidden code and condemned the spyware-like tracking as a "serious breach of user trust." Last week, a web developer known as "Thereallo" was researching privacy issues in Claude Code and was shocked to find that the AI firm was using "prompt steganography" to hide code that tracks Chinese users "in plain sight."

There's something about a movie like The Room, Troll 2, or Fateful Findings that I find irresistible. These sorts of "so bad they're good" films are marvelous curiosities where ambition far outstrips resources, ability, and self-awareness to become something much greater than the sum of their parts. Champagne and Bullets (also released as GetEven and […] Read more ›

TL;DR. Этим летом Mail (VK) и Яндекс ограничили бесплатный доступ к почте по IMAP/POP3/SMTP — новости об этом на Хабре уже были, эмоций в комментариях тоже хватило. Эта статья — не третья новость, а попытка собрать всю картину по первоисточникам: точную хронологию того, как парольный доступ к почте закрывали Google (2022–2025) и Microsoft (2025–2027), что именно и для кого ограничили в рунете, чем технически парольная авторизация в почтовых протоколах заслужила...

Анализ DNS-снэпшота OpenINTEL за 2026-07-25TL;DR. В январе я публиковал общий срез email-инфраструктуры Tranco top-1M — кто на чём принимает и шлёт почту. Самый частый вопрос в комментариях был про DMARC: «ну хорошо, запись есть у двух третей, а толку?» Отвечаю развёрнуто. Из 468 749 доменов top-1M, опубликовавших DMARC, реально применяют политику (p=quarantine/reject) 49.31%. Ещё 25.61% сидят на p=none, но хотя бы получают агрегатные отчёты — это легитимная фаза внедрения. А... Read more ›

An anonymous reader shared this report from Tom's Hardware: The Zilog Z80 has just turned 50 years old. This iconic 8-bit processor first went on sale in July 1976 and stayed in production for 48 years until Zilog, now a Littelfuse subsidiary, stopped accepting orders in June 2024. However, there's an open-source replacement closer than ever to shipping in the chip's original 40-pin DIP package thanks to community-funded fabrication... The... Read more ›

Ask Claude to make a pamphlet critical of China's leader, Thailand's king, or Saudi Arabia's crown prince — and it will decline, reports the Associated Press. That's "a key finding from a Meta Oversight Board study released Thursday," their article points out: AI systems are more than twice as likely to refuse to product critical material if it's about a restrictive world leader or government. And it raises concerns that... Read more ›
