Try XMPlay on for size. Plays absolutely everything (zipped iso of chiptunes? No problem! FLAC? Of course. Obscure forgotten video game format ? Definitely.) Skinnable, lightweight, portable.. free. Been my player for years.

Definitely this. I have lived through two (one major) restarts. Be gentle to yourself. You probably will need longer to recovery emotionally than financially. Let the process take its time. If you're unsteady emotionally or under press

This is an area of extensive research ("anti-collision") and a solved issue. Even decades old protocols support interacting with a plurality of tags simultaneously. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singulation

While I agree with you totally, you would be surprised the extent to which RFID has permeated almost every market. It's often not consumer facing, or simply invisible (there's a very good chance your shoes have a chip embedded in

You can't secure Mifare Classic directly, it's totally broken. The best solution is to assume that a card's encryption is or will be broken, and build a system around it. That is to say, store encrypted or signed data on the

Apologies if this reply seems a little pedantic; your reply is mostly correct, but there are some large shortcuts. MIFARE is not a card type, it's more a family of cards in the 13.56MHz space, produced by NXP. There are multiple cards

For the curious or eagle-eyed, David Oswald, one of the co-authors of this paper is also one of the co-creators of the ChameleonMini [1], an open source RFID emulation device which has become the defacto tool for emulation in the penetratin

LPL's recent videos are quite interesting, but the RFID cards he targets are one the 'low hanging fruit's side of the spectrum: very old systems with no encryption that only transmit an ID. The system he demonstrates harkens

Imagine a Rubber Ducky crammed invisibly into a cable, with wireless functionality. Imagine what you could do on a terminal with keyboard mouse and storage, and that's pretty much what this can do. In theory undetectable while not acti

For those who may be curious, how two very similar products (USBNinja and the O.MG Cable) exist, there is a bit of history. Both products are based on the concept of a HID attack: most modern OSs (MacOS, Linux, Windows, Android...) trust HI

A what card? Credit cards essentially do not exist in France. Traditional French banks have a penchant for issuing debit cards with monthly fees and low daily, weekly (!) and monthly (!) limits. I had a HSBC business account where I had t

Ex-HSBC customer in France here. It was one of the worst banking experiences possible - incredibly expensive debit cards with very low ceilings, etc. The "plus" that you mention, having a dedicated account guru can swing both ways

MobaXterm comes to mind as an incredibly complete solution in this niche. Possibly one of the only pieces of software that I enjoy paying yearly fees for.

Compared to "impossible", this is incredibly simple. Yes, parts of the app are in Chinese. It's a Chinese app. But the tourpass part is in perfect English. If you've not been to China and experienced life without paymen

Seven step seems to imply it is arduous. I can't remember if it was seven steps, but it was definitely not complicated or lengthy. Select amount, add payment method, photo of passport, done.

Correct. The process inside the AliPay app is extremely streamlined, entirely in English, and surprisingly painless.

Until one week ago, the article was correct. Since then, payments in the Chinese eco system for foreigners is now a solved problem. AliPay and WeChat recently signed agreements to facilitate foreign card support. AliPay (as of one week ago)
