Did you know that you can turn every $2 Raspberry Pi Pico clone board into a FIDO2 stick, and even make it Yubikey compatible? https://www.picokeys.com/ Well, not as secure as a commercial key, because the Pico doesn't

I don't miss those times. Walkmen were expensive, good cassettes were expensive, batteries were expensive, cassettes wore out sooner or later, the player's rubber parts wore out and then it damaged the tape, skipping was a pain in

I'm doing the same with a Pico 4 headset (higher resolution and colour passthrough). After getting used to the Pico's crisp display, I honestly wouldn't want to use a Quest 2 anymore.

Maybe it's time to fight back, and write programs that flood the data collectors with data that looks legit, but is in fact bs. Sooner or later their customers will notice that the data they buy doesn't help sales, and they'l

I, personally, think that password managers contradict the idea of passwords. A password is something that YOU know. You and nobody else. Ideally not even the system you access. If you write it down, give it to somebody else, put it in the

What happened to respecting the will of the voters? Why do we take it for granted that we live in a democracy, but tolerate that businesses are directed like dictatorships? That's insane.

Even worse (for me), is the fact that there aren't any decent and affordable microscope/desktop cameras for home/semiprofessional use. Unless you shell out a few thousand dollars, you get the same crappy camera modules that w

I have two of the DEGEN DE-13 solar/hand crank multiband radios, and I gave several away to relatives and friends. They sit on my window sill in the sun all year, for the situation that hopefully never comes.

There's a big risk that everything you send to them will be stolen by Russia, and helps them to circumvent the sanctions. The same goes for any weapons any country sends there.

That's not true, because the bare battery cells are still valuable, and can be easily stripped from the battery module and sold separately. Also, the mechanical parts are difficult to secure with DRM.

Real RS232 may sound nice, but in the last 15 years or so, I didn't come upon any problem that couldn't be solved by a $5 USB to RS232 converter. And those things don't need any more space in your pocket than a regular RS232
