Meta is having a rough week in South Asia. The platform briefly removed a video posted by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi — a routine announcement about university exam reform — triggering days of government criticism and fresh regulatory scrutiny. It's a reminder that content moderation at scale leaves almost no room for error when world leaders are involved.
Shifting from politics to preservation, GrammaTech has released DDisasm, a reversible, bidirectional disassembler now available on GitHub. The tool allows engineers to take compiled binary code apart and put it back together without losing fidelity — a meaningful capability for security researchers, legacy software maintainers, and anyone doing serious reverse engineering work.
And finally, a story that belongs somewhere between hardware journalism and folklore. A buyer in China walked out of a store with a new RTX fifty-sixty Ti graphics card, got into a serious car crash, and somehow the GPU survived being bent in half. One memory chip resoldering later, the card was running at full performance. The short PCB design appears to have saved it — and honestly, that's the kind of stress test no manufacturer plans for.
