    Calling a C function without naming it●Calling a function in C without naming itYhnCultureGaming4328 min ago

    A new write-up explores a low-level C programming technique for invoking a function without referring to it by name, an approach that leans on the language's internals rather than standard calls. Programmers are discussing the method, weighing its cleverness against practicality and portability concerns, and debating where such tricks could legitimately be used in real codebases.

    4G LTE Shutdown Could Brick Connected Cars●It's Probably Time to Start Worrying About the 4G LTE Shutdown Bricking CarsYhnLifeAutos2220 min ago

    Car makers built connected features into millions of vehicles that rely on 4G LTE networks, and carriers are now shutting those networks down as spectrum is reallocated to newer technologies. Once the networks go dark, features like emergency calling, remote start, and over-the-air updates could stop working, and some cars could lose core functions. Drivers are debating which vehicles and years are affected and whether owners will get fixes or compensation.

    New AI Tool Claims to Reverse Engineer Anything●reverse engineer anythingGgoogleUS1001 h ago

    A tool called REA is being promoted as able to reverse engineer anything using AI, demonstrated in a test on a notes exporter. The walkthrough shows the tool analyzing an existing application and reproducing its functionality. Coverage so far is limited, and details about who built it and how well it performs remain scarce. Its broad 'reverse engineer anything' pitch is drawing attention from developers interested in AI-assisted software replication.
