Researchers from several universities in the USA and Australia have developed two Rowhammer-class attacks — GDDRHammer and GeForge — that allow for bit-flipping in GDDR memory chips when running unprivileged CUDA kernel on NVIDIA GPUs. Unlike the GPUHammer method introduced last year, the new attacks are not limited to affecting data processed in GPU memory, but allow for […]

The world's first solar roof tile using thin-film perovskite has been developed in the Netherlands. This new element has relatively low efficiency; however, it allows a tiled roof to look like a regular roof rather than a collection of angled solar panels. The 'solar' tile is ready for mass production and could become an integral part of urban architecture, combining electricity generation […]

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the libinput library: CVE-2026-35093: Sandbox escape in plugins. A bug in the plugin loader allowed loading precompiled bytecode that bypasses runtime checks and thus is not sandboxed. This creates an opportunity for an attack that allows a malicious plugin to gain unrestricted access to the system, depending on user privileges. CVE-2026-35094: Use of […]
The first alpha release of the Pidgin 3.0 (2.95) instant messaging client has been presented. This release is noted as not yet suitable for everyday use.

The Pidgin 3 branch has been in development since 2011, and prior to that, it was discussed for three years at the conceptual level. In Pidgin 3, a transition has been made […]
I'm excited to present my project — a simple WebRTC chat. It can be launched with three commands. Under the hood is ReactJS (this is the front end + wrapped in ElectronJS if you want an app that plays system audio during screen sharing and globally supports hotkeys). On the backend, it uses pure WebSocket on Node.js + Mediasoup.js as the SFU server. License — MIT. I don't plan to maintain this […]
The unofficial Telegram client Nekogram has been found to contain obfuscated code that secretly sends the phone numbers of users who log into the app to the bot ‘@nekonotificationbot’, associated with the user identifier. The modification for collecting phone numbers is present only in the compiled APKs distributed through Google Play, GitHub, and the project's Telegram channel. This phone-collecting change is not present in the source code on GitHub and in the APK package from the F-Droid catalog […]
