Torrent app unavailable at AltStore PAL following apparent notarization revocation by Apple

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-10-30 07:28:21

When Apple was compelled to allow alternative iOS app stores in the EU, it adopted the notarization model familiar to Mac developers. This means that if Apple revokes the notarization of a certain app, its distribution and use get blocked, even though it was installed from outside the App Store. That’s exactly what seems to have happened to iTorrent. Here are the details. As reported today by TorrentFreak, multiple users took to iTorrent’s GitHub page to report that they were unable to download

FEMA Staffers Warned of Looming ‘Katrina-Level’ Disaster, Then Got Suspended

It’s been 20 years since Hurricane Katrina slammed into the U.S. Gulf Coast, killing nearly 1,400 people and displacing up to 1.2 million more. The storm’s impact overwhelmed the Federal Emergency Management Agency, revealing fatal flaws in its disaster response. The agency’s failure prompted Congress to overhaul FEMA largely through the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (PKEMRA). This set higher expectations for its leaders and enhanced its autonomy within the Department of Homela

How to slow down a program and why it can be useful

Most research on programming language performance asks a variation of a single question: how can we make some specific program faster? Sometimes we may even investigate how we can use less memory. This means a lot of research focuses solely on reducing the amount of resources needed to achieve some computational goal. So, why on earth might we be interested in slowing down programs then?

These corpses have been strategically laid out in rows, naked as the day they were born, and left to the mercy of the elements until all that’s left of them are bones. It sounds like a scene out of a horror film, but these places are real.
