The ESP8266 reconnects to the NTP server every 15 minutes which keeps the clock accurate. The clock also automatically adjusts for daylight savings time.

That’s not necessarily news. Major institutions - governments included - have already been compromised through this vector, and we’re tracking another exploitation wave as it develops. On February 4th, 2026, a coordinated campaign started across our telemetry with a differing pattern to previous mass exploitation. Rather than the smash-and-grab post-exploitation you’d expect - dropping traditional webshells, running recon and enumeration commands - this operator did something more deliberate, uploading a payload, confirming…

But there’s a problem: These “PDEs” are often so complicated that it’s impossible to solve them directly. Mathematicians instead rely on a clever workaround. They might not know how to compute the exact solution to a given equation, but they can try to show that this solution must be “regular,”…

It sits inside the Ferrari Luce – now we know the name – and its unveiling is phase two of the three-step launch process for the Italian legend’s first all-electric car. Why the significance? Because it’s the work of Sir Jony Ive, the man who steered the design trajectory of Apple alongside the late, great Steve Jobs.We cannot overstate this: in terms of design and technology, and their impact on the…

The project was co-founded by Matthew Hodgson and Amandine le Pape, and The Reg FOSS desk met both at this year's FOSDEM for a chat about what's happening with Matrix. The Register has covered Matrix and its commercial Element side quite a few times over the years, but we thought it might make things a little clearer to first…

And I’ve just released version 3.0. It is probably not for everyone, but I use it every single day. I like it, and it seems I’m not alone! Something wonderful happened on the road leading to 3.0: Offpunk became a true cooperative effort. Offpunk 3.0 is probably the first release that contains code I didn’t review line-by-line. Umerdify (by…

In 2013, a new technology called Secure Boot appeared, intended to prevent bootkits from being installed and run. Secure Boot prevents the execution of unsigned or untrusted program code (.efi programs and operating system boot loaders, additional hardware firmware like video card and network adapter OPROMs). Secure Boot can be disabled on any retail motherboard, but a mandatory requirement for changing its state is physical presence of the user at the…

Despite 31 long years, the game is still mighty fun to play yourself (admittedly, I rather suck at it) or to watch others play it (this one I'm better at); and with the source code being available, you can enjoy it on every modern platform – be it desktop, smartphone, digital camera, oscilloscope, or anything else you can imagine. As a result of this, through various circumstances, I came to maintain…

However, it quickly transformed into my main project.It's a free macOS app written in Swift that allows you to type with your voice. It supports local models and BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) with a bunch of providers.You can assign different models and post-processing steps to polish the text. For example, I have a setup for…

I’m grateful to Olena of Clario for informing me that there’s a new campaign in progress to deliver AMOS (alias SOMA) stealers to Macs. You can read Vladyslav Kolchin’s account of this in his blog post. Vladyslav has discovered these in forged Apple-like sites linked from docs.google.com and business.google.com, as well as in articles posted on Medium. I had success…
