A new free resource offering over 200 open-source UI avatars has been released for designers and developers under the name Radian UI. The collection is compatible with popular tools and frameworks including Figma and React, and can also be used for mockups and prototypes. Alongside the avatars, a UI Avatar Guide has been published covering practical topics such as sizing, shapes, fallbacks, avatar groups, and accessibility. No sign-up or purchase is required to access the resources. The release aims to save developers and designers time when sourcing avatar assets for their projects.

WebKit Silently Ignores Ad Blocker Rules in Embedded Browsers, Developer Finds

A developer building Kestrel, a macOS browser based on WKWebView, discovered that browser extensions cannot actually block ads or trackers despite appearing to work correctly. Testing showed that both Manifest V2 and Manifest V3 ad blockers, including uBO Lite with six enabled rulesets, failed to block any of five tracker URLs in controlled tests. WebKit accepts the extension rulesets, reports them as compiled and active, but does not apply them to any accessible web view — and extensions have no way to detect this failure. The only confirmed working method was a WKContentRuleList compiled natively by Kestrel itself, not through extension APIs. The developer notes two unresolved possibilities: WebKit may only honour dynamically added rules rather than static manifest-declared rulesets, or Safari's extension content blocking may rely on internal plumbing unavailable to third-party embedded browsers.

JPEG files can store GPS and personal data — here's how to inspect and remove it

JPEG images often embed hidden metadata beyond visible pixels, including GPS coordinates, camera model, capture time, and author details, which can unintentionally expose private information when files are shared publicly. Social media platforms may strip some metadata on upload, but this cannot be relied upon for sensitive images. Tools like ExifTool allow users to inspect and remove metadata locally via command line, offering full control and auditable results. For those who prefer a browser-based option without uploading files to a server, tools like Refentra process and clean JPEG metadata entirely on the user's device. Experts recommend deciding which metadata fields are necessary before sharing any image, particularly for anonymous reports or photos taken at private locations.

Software Engineer Reverse-Engineered His HVAC Thermostat Using RS-485 and AI

A senior software engineer with minimal hardware experience set out to integrate his Delta Controls eZNT-T331 thermostat into his home automation setup after finding no API, app, or technical documentation available. The thermostat, part of a centralized multi-zone HVAC system, communicated over a serial RS-485 bus with a central controller but offered no way for the homeowner to interact with it remotely. Replacing the unit was not a viable option, as it would have required involving professional integrators and reworking the entire system interface. Instead, the engineer chose to reverse-engineer the device's industrial communication protocol by studying its menus and monitoring the live bus traffic. He credits AI assistance as essential to the project's success, saying without it the effort would have stalled at the very first hardware obstacle.
