I would be genuinely surprised if hotels implemented facial recognition. I'm the one who doesn't touch hotel WiFi - cell tethering to the rescue. And yes, all these hotels use NFC keycards, which makes the placement of door sensor

I have a routine when entering a hotel room that involves scanning for devices similar to what the article mentions (but not as far as using specialized equipment). I'm not paranoid about being spied on, giving a proper once-over makes

That's a great question, so I tried it. Its pretty uncommon to be issued an NFC card from a bank in the US so I stuffed my wallet with a Metro card and a couple Hilton hotel keys. I used NFC Tools on my Pixel 2 and tried to read the wa

Unfortunately the article stops short of actually stating how this would be useful as you couldn't really do this in real time on an unsuspecting card holder (Hey, can I casually hold my phone over your credit card while my buddy over

One of the cornerstones of US voting is secrecy. The ability to cast your vote without the public knowing who you voted for contributes to the integrity of the entire election. Today you can already be assured your vote was counted - i

In your first paragraph, if you swap Apple for John Deere, do you still believe what you wrote? The general consensus around right to repair that was discussed during the John Deere incident favored users. But now that Apple is (planning on

Are you sure about that? My AWS 2FA authenticator code has been out of sync for a while and they offer multiple options to get around it. I've been receiving SMS codes easily, in fact I just did this a couple days ago. IIRC they also o

I wrote this [0] little quick and dirty snippet to enable a Google Sheet as a JSON data source via GET requests. Unfortunately Google App Scripts only accept GET and POST requests [1] so it wouldn't be semantically RESTful, but add

How do you know this doesn't happen all the time? Athletes and celebs get fleeced every single day but no one ever hears about it. No one in that position wants anyone to know they got taken. I can't imagine a VC would be any diff

I'm genuinely curious as to which side of the equation you'd like to implement this solution - the consumer who throws the item away or the central sorting center that receives the items? Sure, a metro area sorting center might be

Steel roof trusses, steel roof material, and racks and racks of steel shelving don't exactly make for an ideal radio signal environment. They aren't blocking signal, you are standing in an un-intentional Faraday cage. It likely ha

I was referring to a bench supply, although maybe I should have looked before asking. The number of DC bench supplies available in the $100 range is huge. This seems like a big price shift over the past couple years.
