  That Media Realm site is mine. Thanks for linking! RDS is one of those technologies that’s been around for decades and still amazes people. You can buy hardware encoders for about AU$500 these days, and I love introducing stations to it and getting their name and song data to show up on car radios.

  She was aware but the talk is a walk through how easy hacking is. Not giving up and being interested enough to find out more. Really recommend the talk and her blog.

    This! Unless something is theoretical impossible, the only thing stopping a determined hacker is the amount of time and coffee in reserves.

  You managed to be incorrect twice in one sentence. Well done. Actually watch the video. It's quite interesting.
