This is amazing research by Nadia Heninger and her co-authors Wenyi Morty Zhang, Annie Dai, Keegan Ryan, Dave Levin and Aaron Schulman. TL;DR a huge number of satellite links over our heads are totally unencrypted. satcom.sysnet.ucsd.edu

Here’s one hoping they release Arc as open source. Still using it on my phone.

KiCad schematic and pcb editors side by side, the left side has a schematic editor with a schematic design block with a title header and a wired up LDO block. The right side has a pcb design block with a title header and the components but not placed or routed yet.
Same as before but now the PCB editor is showing a context menu of the pcb design block with option to Apply Design Block Layout which will arrange the components and route them as saved in the block.
PCB Design Blocks just got merged into @kicad.org nightly, they can be linked together with Schematic Design Blocks.
It's shaping up to be another great release!

An apartment complex. A headline reads: "Did Switzerland Solve The Housing Crisis?"
The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

Cloud lockouts like this are my nightmare.
Maybe part of solution is to go for smaller providers that actually need customers? I went from AWS to Scaleway. They have an „escalate to management“ button in every customer service chat and talking to humans has been pretty easy so far.
I have been locked out of my labsmore.com accounts for the past week due to an expired credit card knocking out my DNS served with AWS route 53. I can't log into my AWS account to fix it since with DNS gone I can't receive a sign in code, or any other email for that matter

New in The Economist: how to spend our new defence budgets & why Europe needs a Manhattan Project for AI.
Despite all the talk of learning from Ukraine & drone wars, Europe risks wasting its new defence money on an outdated approach.
Instead we must be bold.

This is a pretty neat setup for prototyping in general. We’re planning to use this rack to build a modular demonstrator of a gas analyzer

Whose IP has been vulnerable for months? Hack my stuff please, but if you want a secure platform is any of this ok?

And for maintaining a 3-month release cycle, which is *unusually* fast for that ecosystem!
