> audible input to pick up the propellers Does not really work that well, as far as I've seen. One is probably best off using an SDR to pick up the communications between the drone and the remote. It's a rather inexpensive solu

If you've got the budget for it, the company I work for may be of use: https://www.whitefoxdefense.com/ I'm not sure if I would recommend jammers or kinetic weapons, haha.

For me personally, my belief in bitcoin is not tied to its monetary value at all. In fact, it's likely inversely related, as the more that it gains value, the more publicity it gets as a money-maker, which draws in more speculators. I&

Mmm it's not too hard to get use a decentralized exchange to get cash overnighted for BTC sent to a PO box that was made with a fake name and cash. You can't really spend/deposit that cash easily, but at least it's not c

> I am surprised BTC still has this large presence in the blackmarket. The people buying goods online are not usually very tech savvy, so you lose a lot of potential customers by requiring a difficult-to-acquire cryptocurrency. Those se

This could be (partially) remedied through periodically requiring the user to pair the key and phone (bluetooth, wifi?). It's kind of an annoying solution, but it sounds like a bit of a security risk to just let someone permanently sta

I'm not the best reader in the world, but I interpretated "semi-game" as in they're attempting to break into the game hunting market. Within the context of the article though, that seems to be too charitable of an interp

I'm about to graduate from a 4 year university in CA (edit: CS major) and we are taught a fairly in depth numerical methods class as part of our 3000 series of classes (i.e. it's intended for third-year students). It's certai

In general, USB mics are assumed to be a little more featureful (e.g. they have an on-board sound card). This is mostly an assumption, though. For super low end microphones, it's kind of difficult to compare specifications, so I'd

IMO the blackmagic pocket cinema is perfectly fine undisturbed if you're just standing/sitting at a desk, but I was thinking more like you'd pair it with something like ATEM in order to have more control. As for battery life,

I run the production for a livestream and I use a Sony a6400 with a 50mm f1.4 plus a Shure SM7B. IMO this is about as high quality as you should go without real studio soundproofing and lighting. I chose the a6400 because it's not craz

Do you have a MS? If you were interested in government cybersecurity work, you could do something like SFS ( https://www.sfs.opm.gov/ ) and get a MS with a pretty much guaranteed gov't job at the end of it. It's als
