Did you read what the parent said? That is not how hardware works. Yes it's easy to build a single device... successfully scaling it to millions of devices is the hard part. Also: "100x the resolution?" You obviously have no

I remember a discussion on HN (I think) about the Skype windows client, where an ex-dev told tales about how horrible their code base is. It sounded like an engineers nightmare. They also employ(ed?) several obfuscation techniques and stuff

Second. At that scale (160M active users [0]) I guess they could easily develop and run their own infrastructure. $2bn just screams 'inefficient implementation' to me... I could be wrong though. [0] https://techcrunch.c

They can't proof that you were wearing the device at the time of the incident. It's also possible to fake the data, either by letting someone else wear it or by spoofing the bluetooth device itself.

'RTFM' doesn't help much if it requires a strong background in signal processing to make sense of it ;)

Very interesting insights, thank you!

Yes, it's too bad that the author lacks basic understanding of signal processing. I respect his effort though, it's not an easy topic - you have to start somewhere.

No the article isn't hard to understand, but it shows that the author has no clue what is actually happening under the hood. He lacks basic understanding of video encoding. His article is well written and I respect the effort, but you

Start working fewer hours or even take some time off if you can. If the management at your workplace is not completely broken they will understand that you can't continue this way - a broken employee is of no value to the company. If y

Most simple problems are weird if you hardware isn't accessible by any means, e.g. what do you do if it suddenly stops responding? You can't simply press the reset button, all you can do is wait and hope for the best. It's an

It's not hard to get an anonymous server with a good downlink (you can also distribute it across many machines). What make things complicated is that you must assume that there are admins on the victims side and you don't want to

I had that too. From an engineers perspective it looks like there is a coupling between the auditory and visual system/nerve. It makes sense that it only happens when you are lying in bed because there is no sensory input and the &#x27

That's most likely related to the pressure you exert on the retina. Close your eyes and press on you eyeballs, it should be even more intense.

"If a lithium-ion battery cell charges too quickly or a tiny manufacturing error slips through the net it can result in a short circuit - which can lead to fire." How about solving the obvious problems?

You don't use these kind of CPU modules for the upgradeability but rather to save time and money - it contains most of the highly integrated components needed in a smart device. You only have to design a mainboard around it, containing

If you already use WPA2, WPS is disabled and your password is strong, then one of your devices in your network is compromised. Most likely: the WiFi router itself.
