Retrofits Done Right: Physical Controls for Heated Seats
We’ve all owned something where one tiny detail drives us nuts: a blinding power LED, buttons in the wrong order, or a beep that could wake the dead. This beautifully documented project fixes exactly that kind of annoyance, only this time it’s the climate-controlled seats in a 2020 Ram 1500.
[projectsinmotion] wasn’t satisfied with adjusting seat heating and ventilation only through the truck’s touchscreen. Instead, they added real physical buttons that feel just like factory equipment. The challenge? Modern vehicles control seats through the Body Control Module (BCM) over a mix of CAN and LIN buses. To pull this off, they used an ESP32-S3 board with both CAN and LIN transceivers that sits in the middle and translates button presses into the exact messages the BCM expects.
The ESP32 also listens to the CAN bus so the new physical buttons always match whatever setting was last chosen on the touchscreen, no mismatched states, no surprises. On the mechanical side, there are 3D-printed button bezels that snap into blank switch plates that come out looking completely stock, plus a tidy enclosure for the ESP32 board itself. Wiring is fully reversible: custom adapters plug straight into the factory harness. Every pinout, every connector, and every wire color is documented with WireVis diagrams we’ve covered before, making this an easily repeatable seat-hack should you have a similar vehicle. Big thanks to [Tim] for the tip! Be sure to check out some of our other car hacks turning a mass produced item into one of a kind.
Ultrasonic Cutting on the Cheap
When you think of ultrasonics, you probably think of a cleaner or maybe a toothbrush. If you are a Star Trek fan, maybe you think of knocking out crew members or showers. But there is another practical use of ultrasonics: cutting. By vibrating a blade at 40 kHz or so, you can get clean, precise cuts in a variety of materials. The problem? Commercial units are quite expensive. So [Electronoobs] decided to roll his own. Check it out in the video below.
There are dreams and then there’s reality. Originally, the plan was for a handheld unit, but this turned out not to be very practical. Coil actuators were too slow. Piezo elements made more sense, but to move the blade significantly, you need a larger element.
Taking apart an ultrasonic cleaner revealed a very large element, but mounting it to a small blade would be a problem. The next stop was an ultrasonic toothbrush. Inside was a dual piezo element with an interesting trick. The elements were mounted in a horn that acts like an ultrasonic megaphone, if you will.
These horns are available, and he found an off-the-shelf solution with four piezos and a large horn that seemed promising. Driving the elements, though, requires a 40kHz 100VAC signal. His original board didn’t work — but he’s not giving up. But, for now, he used a simple circuit on a breadboard. However, it didn’t make a strong vibration, even with a larger horn.
Comparison with ultrasonic cleaners showed that his output voltage wasn’t enough. The expedient answer was to buy an ultrasonic cleaner kit (who knew they came as kits?) and use the boards from it to drive the horn and the blade. That worked very well.
His current thinking is that the cleaner driver may be too large, since the blade and horn get hot in use. But he still encased it with a 3D printed case and wound up with a usable tool. His next version should be portable and maybe run a little cooler.
Ultrasonic sensors are, of course, super useful. Or you can always levitate tiny things with it.

Anthropic lancia Claude Opus 4.5, il modello di intelligenza artificiale più avanzato
Anthropic ha rilasciato Claude Opus 4.5 , il suo nuovo modello di punta, che, secondo l’azienda, è la versione più potente finora rilasciata e si posiziona al vertice della categoria nella programmazione pratica, negli scenari basati su agenti di produttività.
Il modello ha inoltre registrato miglioramenti significativi nella ricerca approfondita, nell’analisi e nelle attività di presentazione. Opus 4.5 è ora disponibile tramite app, API e in tutti e tre le principali tecnologie cloud.
Il prezzo di Sonnet 4.5 parte da 3 dollari per milione di token in input e 15 dollari per milione di token in output, con un risparmio sui costi fino al 90% con il caching rapido e del 50% con l’elaborazione batch
SOTA nell’ingegneria reale
Nel test SWE-bench Verified, il nuovo modello mostra il risultato migliore tra tutti i modelli di frontiera : Anthropic sottolinea in particolare che Opus 4.5 rappresenta un significativo passo avanti rispetto a Sonnet 4.5, superando compiti che solo poche settimane fa erano considerati “quasi impossibili” per la generazione precedente.
Oltretutto:
- Opus 4.5 è leader in 7 linguaggi di programmazione su 8 su SWE-bench Multilingual.
- I miglioramenti non si limitano al codice: il modello ha registrato notevoli progressi nella visione, nella matematica, nel ragionamento e nelle attività multimodali.
- Su Aider Polyglot, BrowseComp-Plus, Vending-Bench – anche gli indicatori SOTA o simili.
Nel contesto delle intelligenze artificiali, “SOTA” (State of the Art) indica il modello o la tecnica che raggiunge le migliori prestazioni note su uno o più benchmark rilevanti.
Un esempio di miglioramento è stato un caso del benchmark τ²: il modello si sarebbe posizionato in settima posizione, dopo GPT 5.1.
Più forte, più intelligente, più sicuro
Secondo il team, Opus 4.5 è il modello Anthropic più sicuro e resistente alle iniezioni immediate. Ha superato tutti i concorrenti in una serie di test di resilienza alle richieste di attacco. Oltretutto:
- L’esame interno delle prestazioni di Opus 4.5 ha dato risultati migliori di qualsiasi altro test mai eseguito nella storia.
- Grazie a una pipeline di ragionamento migliorata, il modello impiega molti meno token per il ragionamento e la ricerca di soluzioni.
Controllo della forza, compattazione e multi-agente
Opus 4.5 introduce una nuova importante funzionalità per gli sviluppatori: il parametro effort, che determina la profondità del ragionamento:
- Con uno sforzo medio, il modello replica Sonnet 4.5 utilizzando il 76% di token in meno.
- Al massimo, supera Sonnet 4.5 di 4,3 punti percentuali, generando il 48% di token in meno.
Secondo Anthropic, tutto ciò comporta un incremento del 15% nelle attività di ricerca approfondita degli agenti.
Aggiornamenti della piattaforma e del prodotto
Con il rilascio di Opus 4.5 sono stati introdotti i seguenti aggiornamenti:
- Claude Code: la nuova modalità Plan genera piani dettagliati, formula eventuali domande di chiarimento e crea un file plan.md modificabile prima dell’esecuzione.
- Claude Code è ora disponibile anche nell’app desktop, con supporto per sessioni parallele sia locali sia remote.
- Nell’app Claude, le conversazioni estese non si “bloccano” più: il contesto precedente viene compresso automaticamente.
- Claude per Chrome è ora disponibile per tutti gli utenti Max.
- Claude per Excel è stato ampliato in versione beta per gli utenti Max, Team ed Enterprise.
Anthropic ha inoltre aumentato i limiti di utilizzo di Opus 4.5, rendendolo più adatto come strumento di lavoro principale. L’azienda ha dichiarato che gli utenti riceveranno approssimativamente lo stesso volume di token Opus rispetto ai token Sonnet disponibili in precedenza.

The 'psyops' revealed by X are entirely the fault of the perverse incentives created by social media monetization programs.
The x27;psyopsx27; revealed by X are entirely the fault of the perverse incentives created by social media monetization programs.#AI #AISlop
America’s Polarization Has Become the World's Side Hustle
A new feature on X is making people suddenly realize that some large portion of the divisive, hateful, and spammy content designed to inflame tensions or, at the very least, is designed to get lots of engagement on social media, is being published by accounts that are pretending to be based in the United States but are actually being run by people in countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, India, Cambodia, Russia, and other countries. An account called “Ivanka News” is based in Nigeria, “RedPilledNurse” is from Europe, “MAGA Nadine” is in Morocco, “Native American Soul” is in Bangladesh, and “Barron Trump News” is based in Macedonia, among many, many of others.Inauthentic viral accounts on X are just the tip of the iceberg, though, as we have reported. A huge amount of the viral content about American politics and American news on social media is from sock puppet and bot accounts monetized by people in other countries. The rise of easy to use, free AI generative tools have supercharged this effort, and social media monetization programs have incentivized this effort and are almost entirely to blame. The current disinformation and slop phenomenon on the internet today makes the days of ‘Russian bot farms’ and ‘fake news pages from Cyprus’ seem quaint; the problem is now fully decentralized and distributed across the world and is almost entirely funded by social media companies themselves.
This will not be news to people who have been following 404 Media, because I have done multiple investigations about the perverse incentives that social media and AI companies have created to incentivize people to fill their platforms with slop. But what has happened on X is the same thing that has happened on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and other social media platforms (it is also happening to the internet as a whole, with AI slop websites laden with plagiarized content and SEO spam and monetized with Google ads). Each social media platform has either an ad revenue sharing program, a “creator bonus” program, or a monetization program that directly pays creators who go viral on their platforms.This has created an ecosystem of side hustlers trying to gain access to these programs and YouTube and Instagram creators teaching people how to gain access to them. It is possible to find these guide videos easily if you search for things like “monetized X account” on YouTube. Translating that phrase and searching in other languages (such as Hindi, Portuguese, Vietnamese, etc) will bring up guides in those languages. Within seconds, I was able to find a handful of YouTubers explaining in Hindi how to create monetized X accounts; other videos on the creators’ pages explain how to fill these accounts with AI-generated content. These guides also exist in English, and it is increasingly popular to sell guides to make “AI influencers,” and AI newsletters, Reels accounts, and TikTok accounts regardless of the country that you’re from.
youtube.com/embed/tagCqd_Ps1g?…
Examples include “AK Educate” (which is one of thousands), which posts every few days about how to monetize accounts on Facebook, YouTube, X, Instagram, TikTok, Etsy, and others. “How to create Twitter X Account for Monitization [sic] | Earn From Twitter in Pakistan,” is the name of a typical video in this genre. These channels are not just teaching people how to make and spam content, however. They are teaching people specifically how to make it seem like they are located in the United States, and how to create content that they believe will perform with American audiences on American social media. Sometimes they are advising the use of VPNs and other tactics to make it seem like the account is posting from the United States, but many of the accounts explain that doing this step doesn’t actually matter.
Americans are being targeted because advertisers pay higher ad rates to reach American internet users, who are among the wealthiest in the world. In turn, social media companies pay more money if the people engaging with the content are American. This has created a system where it makes financial sense for people from the entire world to specifically target Americans with highly engaging, divisive content. It pays more.For the most part, the only ‘psyop’ here is one being run on social media users by social media companies themselves in search of getting more ad revenue by any means necessary.
For example: AK Educate has a video called “7 USA Faceless Channel Ideas for 2025,” and another video called “USA YouTube Channel Kaise Banaye [how to].” The first of these videos is in Hindi but has English subtitles.
“Where you get $1 on 1,000 views on Pakistani content,” the video begins, “you get $5 to $7 on 1,000 views on USA content.”
“As cricket is seen in Pakistan and India, boxing and MMA are widely seen in America,” he says. Channel ideas include “MMA,” “Who Died Today USA,” “How ships sink,” news from wars, motivational videos, and Reddit story voiceovers. To show you how pervasive this advice to make channels that target Americans is, look at this, which is a YouTube search for “USA Channel Kaise Banaye”:

Screengrabs from YouTube videos about how to target Americans
One of these videos, called “7 Secret USA-Based Faceless Channel Ideas for 2026 (High RPM Niches!)” starts with an explanation of “USA currency,” which details what a dollar is and what a cent is, and its value relative to the rupee, and goes on to explain how to generate English-language content about ancient history, rare cars, and tech news. Another video I watched showed, from scratch, how to create videos for a channel called “Voices of Auntie Mae,” which are supposed to be inspirational videos about Black history that are generated using a mix of ChatGPT, Google Translate, an AI voice tool called Speechma, Google’s AI image generator, CapCut, and YouTube. Another shows how to use Bing search, Google News Trends, Perplexity, and video generators to create “a USA Global News Channel Covering World Events,” which included making videos about the war in Ukraine and Chinese military parades. A video podcast about success stories included how a man made a baseball video called “baseball Tag of the year??? #mlb” in which 49 percent of viewers were in the USA: “People from the USA watch those types of videos, so my brother sitting at home in India easily takes his audience to an American audience,” one of the creators said in the video.I watched video after video being created by a channel called “Life in Rural Cambodia,” about how to create and spam AI-generated content using only your phone. Another video, presented by an AI-generated woman speaking Hindi, explains how it is possible to copy paste text from CNN to a Google Doc, run it through a program called “GravityWrite” to alter it slightly, have an AI voice read it, and post the resulting video to YouTube.
youtube.com/embed/WWuXtmLOnjk?…
A huge and growing amount of the content that we see on the internet is created explicitly because these monetization programs exist. People are making content specifically for Americans. They are not always, or even usually, creating it because they are trying to inflame tensions. They are making it because they can make money from it, and because content viewed by Americans pays the most and performs the best. The guides to making this sort of thing focus entirely on how to make content quickly, easily, and using automated tools. They focus on how to steal content from news outlets, source things from other websites, and generate scripts using AI tools. They do not focus on spreading disinformation or fucking up America, they focus on “making money.” This is a problem that AI has drastically exacerbated, but it is a problem that has wholly been created by social media platforms themselves, and which they seem to have little or no interest in solving.The new feature on X that exposes this fact is notable because people are actually talking about it, but Facebook and YouTube have had similar features for years, and it has changed nothing. Clicking any random horrific Facebook slop page, such as this one called “City USA” which exclusively posts photos of celebrities holding birthday cakes, shows that even though it lists its address as being in New York City, the page is being run by someone in Cambodia. This page called “Military Aviation” which lists its address as “Washington DC,” is actually based in Indonesia. This page called “Modern Guardian” and which exclusively posts positive, fake AI content about Elon Musk, lists itself as being in Los Angeles but Facebook’s transparency tools say it is based in Cambodia.
Besides journalists and people who feel like they are going crazy looking at this stuff, there are, realistically, no social media users who are going into the “transparency” pages of viral social media accounts to learn where they are based. The problem is not a lack of transparency, because being “transparent” doesn’t actually matter. The only thing revealed by this transparency is that social media companies do not give a fuck about this.

Testing the Survivability of Moss in Space
The cool part about science is that you can ask questions like what happens if you stick some moss spores on the outside of the International Space Station, and then get funding for answering said question. This was roughly the scope of the experiment that [Chang-hyun Maeng] and colleagues ran back in 2022, with their findings reported in iScience.
Used as moss specimen was Physcomitrium patens, a very common model organism. After previously finding during Earth-based experiments that the spores are the most resilient, these were subsequently transported to the ISS where they found themselves placed in the exposure unit of the Kibo module. Three different exposure scenarios were attempted for the spores, with all exposed to space, but one set kept in the dark, another protected from UV and a third set exposed to the healthy goodness of the all-natural UV that space in LEO has to offer.
After the nine month exposure period, the spores were transported back to Earth, where the spores were allowed to develop into mature P. patens moss. Here it was found that only the spores which had been exposed to significant UV radiation – including UV-C unfiltered by the Earth’s atmosphere – saw a significant reduction in viability. Yet even after nine months of basking in UV-C, these still had a germination rate of 86%, which provides fascinating follow-up questions regarding their survivability mechanisms when exposed to UV-C as well as a deep vacuum, freezing temperatures and so on.
Keebin’ with Kristina: the One with the Elegant Macro Pad
Some people are not merely satisfied with functionality, or even just good looks. These persnickety snoots (I am one of them) seek something elegant, a true marriage of form and function.
The main goal here was the perfect fusion of display and feel. I’m not sure that an FDM-printed, DIY macro pad can look any better than this one does. But looks are only half the story, of course. There’s also feel, and of course, functionality.
Yes those are (hot-swappable) mechanical key switches, and they are powered by an ESP32-S2. Drawn on the 3.5″ LCD are icons and text for each switch, which of course can be easily changed in the config app.
There’s a three-direction tact switch that’s used to switch between layout profiles, and I’m sure that even this is satisfying on the feel front. Does it get better than this? Besides maybe printing it in black. I ask Hackaday.
KeebDeck Keyboard Gets Two Thumbs Up
Did you make it to Supercon this year? If so, you hold a badge with a special keyboard — a custom job by Hackaday superfriend [Arturo182], aka Solder Party. Were you wondering about its backstory?
This 69-key alphanumeric silicone number has all the keys a hacker needs, plus a rainbow of extras that can be used for macros. According to [Arturo182], the keyboard has a tactile feel thanks to a snap dome sheet underneath the keys, and this makes it more comfortable for long thumb-typing sessions.
Be sure to check out the teasers at the bottom of the KeebDeck page, because there is some really exciting stuff. If you want to build one, GitHub is your friend, pal.
Thanks for the tip, [Wim Van Gool]!
The Centerfold: Controlled Chaos
Here’s what I know: That’s a Nulea m512 mouse, the keyboard is a KBD Craft Sachiel LEGO number, and that there is a Cidoo macro pad. Best of all, [Tardigradium] hand-painted the speakers. Neat-o!

Historical Clackers: the Gerda Typewriter Was One of Accessibility
Some of us (okay, I) would have thought that most accessibility inventions are fairly recent, say, from the 1960s onward. But consider the Gerda typewriter, which was created in 1919 to enable blind and one-armed victims of WWI to become employable typists.
According to the Antikey Chop, it’s quite possible that the German government helped grease the wheels of this project so that these soldiers would have a usable typewriter with which to get on with life.
Three versions of this index typewriter were produced: a two-handed Gerda, one with a Braille index, and one with an English index. All entered the market the same year, and were produced for a total of three years.
The Gerda’s typewheel was quite like Blickensderfer, and some even had the DHIATENSOR layout. More expensive than last week’s Clacker (75 Marks), the Gerdas for blind and sighted people with two hands cost 195 Marks, and the one-handed edition was 205 Marks. Some of the two-handed models had rectangular, wooden key-tops, and others had round, glass-topped keys.
Finally, Module-Based Keyboard Is a Sensory Nightmare
I’ve been an early adopter of keyboards in the past. This is usually to bring them to your attention, either before they’re released, or just as they’ve come out. And never have I ever had this poor of an experience.
Games Radar recently reviewed a surprisingly not-failed Kickstarter keyboard that actually shipped, the Naya Create. It may not look like it, but the Create is supposed to be a gaming keyboard. What it does look like is mouse-focused, or at least mouse-forward. And that’s the point of it. Evidently.
Those big modules are interchangeable, and there are four of them so far: the Touch (a trackpad), Track (a trackball that falls out reliably), the Tune (a dial), and the Float, which is designed for space mousing around. They sound cool enough, and might actually be the best part of this whole setup.
To fully illustrate my poit I hvemt’t corrected any of the typos experieved typim this semtemve with the Naya Create while tryig to maintain my usual speed.
But according to Games Radar, the Naya Create is so not worth the $850 (!) asking price. It has ‘mushy, low-profile switches’ and clammy caps, and although the reviewer complains about the non-staggered keys, y’all know that those are my preference at this point.
And apparently, by default, Backspace is mapped to the left side. What? Of course, you can remap any key, whenever the software decides to work. Whenever the reviewer tried to save changes, the software would say that the keyboard is disconnected. Wonderful.
Despite these shortcomings, Games Radar says the keyboard is rock-solid aluminium with good hinges. So there’s that. Just, you know, swap out the switches and keycaps, and wait for software updates, I guess.
Got a hot tip that has like, anything to do with keyboards? Help me out by sending in a link or two. Don’t want all the Hackaday scribes to see it? Feel free to email me directly.

Nuova svolta nel caso di “Libera”: il Tribunale di Firenze ordina al CNR la realizzazione e la fornitura della tecnologia per l’autosomministrazione del farmaco entro 90 giorni
“Libera”: sono grata al giudice di Firenze, ma la stanchezza e la sofferenza hanno superato ogni limite umano. Pronta a ricevere aiuto a morire tramite un’azione di disobbedienza civile”
Filomena Gallo: “è una corsa contro il tempo”
La vicenda di “Libera” è tornata davanti al Tribunale di Firenze. Con un’ordinanza del 16 ottobre, il giudice aveva fissato, entro 15 giorni e quindi per la fine del mese, il termine entro cui fornire la strumentazione necessaria a consentire, tramite comando oculare, l’infusione endovenosa del farmaco per il fine vita. Nessuna delle aziende inizialmente disponibili ha però prodotto il dispositivo richiesto.
Di fronte all’impossibilità di reperire la tecnologia, la USL Toscana nord-ovest ha presentato ricorso al Tribunale chiedendo indicazioni sui provvedimenti idonei a superare l’impasse. I legali* di “Libera”, coordinati dall’avvocata Filomena Gallo, Segretaria dell’Associazione Luca Coscioni, dopo ulteriori verifiche tra enti pubblici e privati, hanno individuato da settembre nel Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche (CNR) l’ente pubblico competente e dotato delle tecnologie necessarie.
All’udienza del 19 novembre, il CNR ha confermato la possibilità di realizzare un macchinario che permetta a “Libera” di attivare autonomamente l’autosomministrazione del farmaco letale, precisando che saranno necessari circa 90 giorni per la sua progettazione e la messa a punto.
Con il provvedimento emesso successivamente all’udienza, il giudice ha ordinato alla USL Toscana nord-ovest di avviare immediatamente la procedura con il CNR e di sostenerne tutti i costi. Contestualmente, il CNR è stato nominato ausiliario dell’autorità giudiziaria, ricevendo mandato diretto a predisporre e fornire la tecnologia all’azienda sanitaria entro 90 giorni.
Una volta ricevuto il dispositivo, la USL dovrà consegnarlo a “Libera” insieme al farmaco, affinché la paziente possa finalmente decidere in autonomia se e quando procedere con il suicidio medicalmente assistito.
Dichiara “Libera”:
Ho vissuto una vita ricca di amore, relazioni e significato, ma oggi sono imprigionata in un corpo che non risponde più, completamente paralizzata con sofferenza, e privata di ogni autonomia. Grazie alla “sentenza Cappato” posso accedere all’aiuto medico alla morte volontaria, ma poiché non posso farlo da sola devo attendere altri. Eppure chi chiede la sedazione palliativa profonda ottiene che un medico somministri un farmaco, perché per me non può essere attivato dallo stesso medico invece il farmaco che mi fa morire subito? Avevo chiesto solo che la mia volontà fosse rispettata e che un medico potesse essere autorizzato a intervenire su mia richiesta. Invece, la Consulta ha rimandato la decisione al giudice di Firenze, costringendo a ripetere indagini già svolte e imponendo nuovi passaggi burocratici su dispositivi che esistono, ma che le aziende non adattano per la mia situazione. Ogni rinvio è un tempo che io passo nella sofferenza, nella paura concreta di una fine dolorosa che non ho scelto. Sono grata al giudice di Firenze, ai miei legali, che hanno agito con serietà e rispetto, ma la stanchezza e la sofferenza hanno superato ogni limite umano.Per questo oggi dichiaro che se in tempi brevissimi non riceverò la strumentazione necessaria sono pronta a ricevere l’aiuto a morire sotto forma di azioni di disobbedienza civile: un atto pubblico, nonviolento e trasparente, per porre fine alla violenza che sto vivendo.
Non voglio vie oscure, non cerco scorciatoie pericolose. Chiedo che venga finalmente riconosciuto il mio diritto a una scelta libera e umana con l’aiuto di strumentazioni o di una persona che mi somministri il farmaco letale.
Commenta Filomena Gallo: “’Libera’ oggi è stanca, sofferente e in reale pericolo: potrebbe andare incontro a una morte improvvisa e atroce, come accaduto pochi giorni fa ad Ancona a una persona malata, morta soffocata mentre attendeva il pieno riconoscimento della sua condizione per accedere alla morte assistita. Per evitare che si ripeta una simile tragedia, stiamo valutando tutte le soluzioni nel pieno rispetto della legge. È una corsa contro il tempo”.

A group of immigrant rights organizers are helping people use Fortnite to practice what to do if they encounter ICE agents in the wild.#fortnite #ICE #Gaming
Inside an ICE Defense Training on Fortnite
In the deserted town square of the city of Springfield, three people huddle in an empty courthouse. Two of these people are civilians; one is a “vulnerable,” someone being pursued and targeted by government agents. They talk in hushed tones to one another, playing music to keep fear at bay. Above the door of the courthouse, a plaque reads, “Liberty and Justice for Most.”At the bottom of the courthouse stairs, two government agents step out of a purple golf cart. They approach the door. They’re carrying guns.
“Hey, is anyone inside?” one of them says. “Any vulnerables in here? We have a warrant. We have a warrant for any vulnerables in the area.”
One civilian opens the door, sees the agents, and immediately slams it shut. After more warrant calls, the civilian says, “Slip it under the door.”
“I would slip it under the door, but there’s no space under the door,” the agent says, stuttering.
The civilian pauses. “Well. Sounds like a personal problem.”
This was the scene in a Simpsons-themed Fortnite lobby on November 21, where members of a new 500-person gaming group gathered to practice what they would do if Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents came knocking at their doors in real life. The group, New Save Collective, is an effort to organize people in the gaming world who have more progressive ideas but no place to discuss them.
“ Our hypothesis since we started this project has been that opposition forces like corporations and the military and the far right have done a really good job at weaponizing the social features of gaming,” said one of the organizers, who goes by PitaBreadFace online and spoke to 404 Media on condition of pseudonymity due to security concerns, as they said people claiming to be ICE agents have already infiltrated the group’s Discord server a few times. “ They’re building institutions in the gaming landscape, which is the biggest entertainment industry in the world, lest people forget.”
“Gaming wasn’t kind of a random genre that we chose,” Shauna Siggelkow of the organization Define American, which partnered with New Save Collective, told Wired ahead of the Friday event last week. “We’ve been tracking anti-immigrant myths and disinformation digitally for years.”
Some examples of those weaponizations include the U.S. Navy playing e-sports to recruit teens and kids being roped into neo-Nazi propaganda groups in online shooter games. ICE is also using games, like the sci-fi first-person shooter Halo and the all-time favorite Pokémon, in its recruitment ads. “More pro-social forces have really lacked,” PitaBreadFace said. “We have not been as effective at creating institutions. So we’ve seen the hunger for those kinds of spaces for gamers.”
PitaBreadFace and other grassroots organizers have been working on the Collective for the past three years, more recently in partnership with formal non-profit advocacy groups like Define American and Immigrants Belong. The Fortnite event was run by the Collective, but is part of a larger campaign titled “Play Your Role,” which is intended to teach people about their rights and “counter fear-based misinformation about immigrants,” according to a statement written by the non-profits. The Play Your Role campaign also included a live-streamed Grand Theft Auto event last Thursday, in which gamers roleplayed with people dressed as real ICE agents during traffic stops or outside apparent detention centers. Earlier this year, Roblox players conducted similar roleplaying events to simulate ICE raids and protests.

Organizers asked 404 Media not to join the official Fortnite lobby in real time; they said having reporters in the same space as Collective members might have exerted media pressure or kept them from getting the full experience. “ We’re not going to stream it for security reasons, and no reporters inside of it,” PitaBreadFace said on the morning ahead of the event. “Our main goal tonight is to really build and organize with the folks who are coming, and because I’m an organizer, that’s obviously the priority.”
However, they shared a number of clips from matches and discussions after the event had concluded.
After some scuffling, the agents agree to “abandon the vehicle” and run off. As they are chased off, one person calls after them, “Yeah, I threw a pizza at you! I threw a pizza at you with extra bacon.”
In another clip, the two gamers role-playing as ICE agents—portrayed by Fortnite’s Airhead character—are standing on their golf cart, surrounded by civilians in the middle of their pursuit of a “vulnerable,” the event’s chosen term for people being targeted by government agents.“This does not concern you,” one of the agents says to the civilians, encouraging them to leave.
“We’re allowed to record,” one person responds. Another asks, “Who does it concern?”
“We’re looking for two vulnerables,” the agent says, as the civilian group closes in on the golf cart. “Excuse us, you’re interfering. We have a court order.”
After some scuffling, the agents agree to “abandon the vehicle” and run off. As they are chased off, one person calls after them, “Yeah, I threw a pizza at you! I threw a pizza at you with extra bacon.”
The agents were played by the organizers behind the Collective, and they were noticeably less persistent than ICE agents in real life. That’s evidenced by them saying things like, “Excuse us,” but it’s also evident in their behavior. In the first clip, they don’t bust down the door of the courthouse; when a civilian briefly opens it, they don’t barge inside. At the end of that encounter, one agent says to the other, “This home is too protected; let’s go see if we can find a vulnerable somewhere else.” Given their reputation for violence in raids, IRL ICE agents are unlikely to give up as easily.
But that kind of environment allows the training session to be a reasonable intensity for a gamer’s first round of practice responding to ICE, and still be a fun, safe place for people to hang out. According to PitaBreadFace, the main goal of the space wasn’t necessarily to be a specifically anti-ICE training facility, but more so to organize a community and build trust. And this tactical frivolity is a proven method of protest—ask anyone who wore a frog costume to a Portland protest earlier this year.
“ A situation, even though it’s virtual, where you can clearly overwhelm ICE’s numbers and do silly stupid things and work together easily and be connected to each other—it just felt like actually winning,” one gamer said in a clip provided to 404 Media. “It felt like a way to kind of heal some of the burnout.”
A virtual situation also allows players to fire back at ICE in ways that likely wouldn’t be practical in real life. In one clip, for example, two agents are chasing after a vulnerable, yelling, “Hey, stop right there!”
When they get close enough, the vulnerable drops a Boogie Bomb, an item which forces another player to dance under a disco ball for about three seconds.
“Oh,” the Boogie-Bombed agent exclaims, before the gamers start laughing.
The event also had another component. Before the practice ICE raids, gamers went around to practice finding one another, creating groups and building connections. PitaBreadFace described this segment as learning how to “meet your neighbors, know those around you, and establish contact.” A lot of that, according to clips provided to 404 Media, involves doing dance emotes together; in one case, it was a team of about 10 people destroying an in-map mansion and yelling, “Pay your taxes!”
But it also involved discussions about what community means. In the middle of a “Shout!” dance circle, one gamer said that they first learned the importance of community organizing when protesting the 2017 Muslim ban.
“ I feel like community taught me that like if enough people came together and there was enough will, anything could happen,” they said. “I remember the first Muslim ban, and just hella people went to the airport, and we were able to petition for people to get released. And they were. It was cool to see that organically happen.”
New Save Collective plans to run more events similar to this one through the end of this year, at which point Fortnite is slated to get rid of the proximity chat mode it uses. PitaBreadFace said the response had been so far overwhelmingly positive.
“ I think gamers represent this constituency of people who are really common-sense,” PitaBreadFace said. “It’s not like they’re even super pro-immigrant. They’re just like, ‘No, this doesn’t make sense. This community member who’s been part of a community for 25 years is being ripped out of his home in the middle of the night. That doesn’t make sense, and we should do something about it.’ We have a lot of people who joined the [Discord] server who are like, ‘I actually don’t know, but I know this is wrong and I’m here to learn and participate.’”

Cosa ci racconta il DNA di Hitler?
Un articolo di History Extra (BBC History Magazine) svela i risultati di una ricerca unica: per la prima volta, è stato analizzato il DNA di Adolf Hitler, prelevato dal sangue su un pezzo di tessuto del divano dove si suicidò nel 1945. Una ricerca effettuata da Turi King (genetista) e Alex J Kay (storico), che hanno sposato la genetica con la storia. A 80 anni dalla sua morte, Hitler's DNA: Blueprint of a Dictator, un documentario innovativo prodotto da Blink Films e attualmente in onda su Channel 4, ha svelato una nuova fonte presentando i risultati dell'analisi.
Ecco le scoperte più sorprendenti:
- Nessuna origine ebraica: il mito che circolava dagli anni ’20 è stato definitivamente smentito.
- Una rara mutazione genetica: Hitler aveva la sindrome di Kallmann, che può causare bassa produzione di testosterone, anomalie nello sviluppo sessuale e ridotta libido. Questo spiegherebbe il suo apparente disinteresse per le relazioni intime e la vita privata, a differenza di altri leader nazisti.
- Punteggi genetici eccezionali: il suo DNA lo collocava nell’1% più alto per predisposizione a schizofrenia, autismo e disturbo bipolare. Ma attenzione: non significa che avesse queste condizioni, solo che il suo profilo genetico era estremamente raro.
La genetica non giustifica le azioni di una persona, ma può aiutare a comprendere aspetti della sua vita che la storia ha lasciato in ombra.
