Just an FYI that Direct File is indeed still up and running. It's still being actively developed, improvements are coming (Spanish is now live! Importing W-2 info is coming!).
It has NOT been cancelled or closed.
Please use it if you qualify, it's genuinely good software built by people who care about the public good and want to get people the credits and refunds they're entitled to.
TBH, the more people use it the harder it will be for it to be shut down after this tax season.

Doom running on an Apple Lightning-to-HDMI dongle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XCkeN0XuqA
Explanation from the comments, basically the dongle runs stripped-down iOS & they used an iOS security vulnerability to get in
Attachments:
- Yea, the dongle's firmware is super stripped-down iOS, basically There is SecureROM, iBoot and XNU as a kernel - just like some iPhone or iPad of that era (now is the same, but obviously they did a lot of development since then) Production firmware's userspace is ultra-minimalistic though - there's a ramdisk, but it's not even a filesystem, but a statically compiled Mach-O (it's like ELF, but for Apple *OS) Internal development bundles do have a proper ramdisk with filesystem and a bunch of executables/shared libraries on it The Mac here just loads such firmware into it, since the dongle doesn't have any persistent storage. The colorful logs going in one of the terminals are UART output from it - first iBoot and then kernel and userspace Arbitrary code execution is achieved due to iOS-world bootrom exploit - checkm8, which also works here because codebase is literally the same (remote)

From the disruptive training costs of DeepSeek to the wafer-scale silicon of Cerebras--clearly we are at the the earliest stages of this new domain.

- how do you even wipe front to back? To wipe "front to back,” reach around your body from behind, put your hand through your legs, and wipe from the area near your anus towards the front of your body, essentially moving any fecal matter away from your urethra; this is the recommended method for proper hygiene, especially for women, as it prevents bacteria from traveling towards the urinary opening.
