Functional PCB art from the 60s. It's likely a 3 decade count from 0 to 999. I assume it was for lab equipment but I'm not sure. I only know it's made in France, likely by someone who worked at Intertechnique.

Apologies for the hasty pictures, there will be better ones once the board is installed in a museum (spoiler alert?).

Machine Speed is a lie: stop trying to fight AI with AI

Marketing departments are screaming that attackers are moving at "machine speed" and only AI-powered defenses can stop them. But cyberattacks have always been automated, and proactive defense beats reactive AI.

I just realized that I have the perfect anti-AI story:

King Cormac and the Silver Branch

It's an Irish legend about a wise king who is visited by a mysterious otherworldly stranger bearing a silver branch with golden apples. Shaking the branch produces such a wonderful music that people immediately forget their pain and sorrows and daily worries.

King Cormac covets the branch, and is willing to pay whatever price the stranger sets for it.

Whoever decided that tasklist should truncate its output fields should have something uncomfortable inserted in their various orifices in Hell for every character ever hidden.

The way where money isn't your only concern. The “I care about this subject and I'm going to give it my best shot” way.

If a grocery store is doing dynamic pricing and you just sit there with a flipper zero recording whatever sub GHz or IR signal they are broadcasting to flip them, take the lowest real displayed price, replay it with idk something like this, is that illegal

Glad to see MS upgraded Win11 system requirement to a 64GB disk - this way when you buy a minimal laptop you don't have to upgrade your disk immediately after the first update eats 25GB of it (aside of the already installed OS)...

VB's Péter Szőr Award, commemorating the life & work of security researcher Péter Szőr, is awarded for the best piece of technical security research published in the past year. What research deserves to win the 2026 award? Nominations close 9 Sept! https://virusbulletin.com/conference/peter-szor-award/

A couple of weeks ago I showed a preview of a new mode for Mines, in my puzzle collection. I'm pleased to say that the new Mines is now completed and live! You can now play Minesweeper on a wide range of tilings in your browser
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/mines.html
or download a desktop version from the parent page which supports the same set of grids.

As well as the support for lots of grid types, there's also a new user preference (off by default) to make it easier to play on them. When you click on a clue square to potentially clear around it, the existing flags adjacent to the square light up, to make it easier to count them and work out how many more mines you're still expecting. Particularly useful in the hat tiling, where it's easy to mistake exactly what is adjacent to what!

I expect different people will prefer different grids. Personally I think the triangular grid is particularly tricky and puzzly; the hexagonal honeycomb makes a gentle introduction; the Cairo, Floret and Kites tilings are a nice set in between those extremes; and of course the aperiodic tilings are there to keep you on your toes and ready for anything.

Many thanks to Anders Höglund for this excellent piece of work.
