Dubbed the “Mother of All Data Breaches,” the breach is said to involve some 16 billion user credentials, and impa

Back on June 5, the Switch 2's launch day, I wrote about Belkin's new accessories for Nintendo's latest game console. I noted I hadn't tried the Belkin accessories yet with my Switch 2; I ordered my console from Verizon, and it wasn't scheduled to arrive until the following day. My Switch 2 didn't arrive on June 6. Or the day after. Or a week later. Or ever. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had happened: Verizon, a company that you don't typically associate with selling game consoles

3 tips I use every time I travel to avoid exorbitant roaming fees

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I still remember when my husband got slapped with an exorbitant €70 extra fee on his €10 basic mobile plan because he mistakenly went online for a few minutes during a layover in Turkey. Since then, avoiding roaming fees has been our personal crusade, especially since we like travelling and our basic local data plans have ridiculously expensive fees when we step outside of Europe.

Unexpected security footguns in Go's parsers

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-08 08:35:12

In Go applications, parsing untrusted data creates a dangerous attack surface that’s routinely exploited in the wild. During our security assessments, we’ve repeatedly exploited unexpected behaviors in Go’s JSON, XML, and YAML parsers to bypass authentication, circumvent authorization controls, and exfiltrate sensitive data from production systems.

Dancing Naked on the Head of a Pin: The Early History of Microphotography

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-10 03:08:57

To produce microphotographs en masse, Dagron used a long wooden box that contained, at one end, a glass negative of the image to be reduced. At the other end was the reducing camera with up to twenty-five small lenses and the sensitized plate. When the end with the negative was held to a light source, the image was projected into the lenses and onto the sensitized glass plate to create multiple positive transparencies, each measuring about two millimeters square.
