Great idea but unfortunately it is battery operated. I suppose a relay on Vcc might do the trick though!

I recently got a SureFeed RFID feeder. It can read your cat's microchip or an RFID collar tag. When an authorized kitty approaches, a flap raises and lets the cat eat. I got it to prevent other family pets from stealing my cat's f

If anyone is wondering: yes, you can own your very own atomic clock for a "reasonable" price! I encourage everyone to read [0] where a father takes his kids and a few atomic clocks up a mountain and back down. By looking at the

I purchased one used, mostly to see what it is like but also to have as a backup phone Just In Case. The hardware is a mixed bag: the screen is gorgeous, the keyboard is a bit narrow but allows for very accurate typing, the back of the case

Providing guaranteed access to random numbers has been a recent example of a new, badly needed, but fairly simple syscall. With getrandom(), you avoid the complexities of open/read/close and its associated error handling. https:&

It will be interesting to see how Android "Instant Apps" end up working. Looking at AOSP, bits of "ephemeral-app" support code has been tricking in for (probably) Android O release but I haven't been able to find a

If signatures are checked, they are checked by the kernel (and its userland buddy AMFI) every time the process is launched. I'm not sure what the defaults are for macOS lately but a developer can opt-in to even more restrictions like r

Good question. Given the well documented and stable x86/x86_64 Linux ABIs, it should be at least as feasible as the Darling project. I've been watching projects like Darling and libhybris (run Android bionic libc binaries on glibc

Correct. I've hacked at it a bit in an attempt to re-enable the functionality but I haven't been successful yet. After reversing some old XCodes and iOS binaries I found a MobileDevice.framework call that is related to WiFi debugg

Especially for people who are tied to macOS for iOS development reasons. I guess it is time to look into Hackintoshes again.* Apple really seems to loath their developers either through active malice or passive indifference. I've waste

Well, new in the sense that, post Snowden, there was an immense increase in the number of mostly-facsimile files documenting the mass surveillance. I don't remember earlier programs like Carnivore getting the same level of public docum

"Spin" is surreal. Thank you very much for the pointer! Are satellite uplinks scrambled/encrypted these days? If they uplink via something like MPEG-TS, I don't imagine it would be too hard.

I thought the aside in the article about unmanned "missile trucks" controlled by a latest gen manned fighter was interesting.

The hypothetical sniper could have been aiming at a large tank, missed, and luckily hit the helium tank. Hypothetically, of course. :P

Maybe you could add a capacitor to keep the LED going for a bit longer after the power cuts. The power off dimming might be aesthetically pleasing too.

Reading your single comment (and watching the linked clip) was very much worth my time! I never before realized that you can address Excel cells via a symbolic name instead of row/column-wise. That is very cool and probably very basic.

That is a really cool and simple hack. Take a wireless charging coil + support circuitry and simply tap that into the USB +5V and ground? It all sounds too easy!

I've never used an auto-injector on myself before. I have used expired auto-injectors on oranges and potatoes to make sure that I have a "real feel" for how the hypodermic needle really injects. The trainer injectors certainl

I'm confused about this myself. I used to receive EpiPen brand auto-injectors. At some point, I started receiving Lineage Therapeutics auto-injectors (supposedly an Adrenaclick generic) instead. According to [0] they are _not_ equivale

This "one weird trick" may save your life if you experience anaphylactic shock and do not have multiple auto-injectors available, for whatever reason (cost, some have expired, remote location, etc). I discovered this technique a c

Is SSA form not already a proper graph? I would agree that the visualization would benefit from a toggle between pure textual representation and one that includes the graph structure with textual basic blocks. LLVM already has graphviz outp
