I also did this years ago. There used to be a kit you could buy. It had a compass IC and a ring of vibration motors. The sensation always pointed north. I wore it around my ankle non-stop for a while, only taking it off when sleeping. I did

As a part of a highly targeted attack on a single device, maybe. It would have to involve specialist knowledge and manual work to do it. For example, something simple like sabotaging a "mic on" or "camera on" LED on migh

Maybe someone can correct me here, but I think we're moving into the future where most components won't be marked at all. These days I'm seeing ever more often even basic things like SMT resistors without any label. Most devi

In my experience, SD cards and eMMC chips on the Raspberry Pi Compute Modules are night and day in terms of reliability. Brand-name SD cards will fail in 6-12 months of running a typical mostly-idle Linux installation (yes, I've heard

Ah, interesting. Thanks! I was experimenting with the "references" key to see if it can do what I want and somehow missed that "preferred-citation" exists. Was this added after the initial GitHub announcement?
