IDEmacs is a project aiming to create Emacs configurations that mimic popular IDEs, making Emacs more beginner-friendly for programmers transitioning from other IDEs or new to programming. It provides GUI and mouse support, follows popular GUI and IDE keybinding conventions, and offers a fast, configuration-free Emacs experience. The project includes a VSCode configuration with themes, tab bars, version control tools, completion packages, and Lisp editing tools. IDEmacs seeks user feedback and contributions to improve the experience for both programmers and non-programmers using Emacs.

Scientists create electronic devices that function reliably at extreme temperatures from 500 degrees Celcuis to absolute zero — advanced semiconductor material unlocks new possibilities in space tech and quantum computing

Scientists at KAUST have developed electronic devices made of gallium oxide that can function reliably in extreme temperatures from near absolute zero to 500°C. These devices have potential applications in space tech and quantum computing due to their ability to withstand extreme temperature swings. By using ultrawide-bandgap semiconductor beta-gallium oxide and heavily doping it with silicon atoms, the researchers created devices that can maintain electrical conduction even in cryogenic conditions. The team built transistors and logic inverters that operated reliably at temperatures as low as 2K, paving the way for the development of temperature-resistant devices for various technological applications.

Two US citizens get combined 16 years in prison for running North Korean laptop farms — fake remote IT work scheme netted DPRK $5 million in around three years

Two US citizens get combined 16 years in prison for running North Korean laptop farms — fake remote IT work scheme netted DPRK $5 million in around three years

Two individuals from New Jersey have been sentenced to a combined 16 years in prison for operating laptop farms that enabled North Korean IT workers to pose as Americans and work for U.S. companies, generating around $5 million for North Korea over three years. Kejia Wang and Zhenxing Wang were found guilty of wire fraud and money laundering, with Kejia serving as the U.S.-based manager of the operation. The scheme involved stealing the identities of over 80 U.S. individuals to secure positions in over 100 U.S. companies, resulting in significant financial losses for the affected businesses. The Justice Department has been cracking down on similar operations, uncovering 29 laptop farms across 16 states in mid-2025 and convicting five other individuals involved in such schemes.

Resident Evil: Requiem Denuvo DRM fully cracked in 40 days, making it the first title of 2026 to be bypassed

A cracked version of Capcom's Resident Evil: Requiem with Denuvo DRM fully disabled has been released just 40 days after its launch, marking it as the first 2026 title to have its anti-tamper protection bypassed. The crack, revealed by Reddit user voices38, used an old-school approach to strip all Denuvo code, suggesting that recent Denuvo implementations could be removed more efficiently in the future. Additionally, a hypervisor crack has been found to work without disabling any Windows security layers, potentially making it easier for users to apply. Performance tests have shown that the cracked version offers higher FPS, reduced VRAM and system memory usage, and smoother gameplay compared to the hypervisor bypass. These developments are putting pressure on Denuvo's parent company, Irdeto, to reconsider their protection methods to avoid punishing legitimate customers with performance overhead.

Microsoft is overhauling Windows Insider Program as it tries to get Windows 11 back on track

Microsoft is revamping the Windows Insider Program to improve Windows 11. The changes include simplifying the program to two main channels (Experimental and Beta), introducing Feature Flags for users to enable new features manually, and allowing easier switching between Insider channels without clean installs. The updates address confusion in the program structure and issues with feature availability. Existing Insider users will be automatically transitioned to the new structure. The changes aim to streamline the Insider Program and enhance user experience by providing clearer expectations and more direct feedback opportunities.
