There's an added device inside the pump allowing the theft to take place. The Bluetooth feature allows you to disable it when you're done stealing gas so no one notices.

It could be a MITM device between the flow sensor and the controller. It could adjust the flow reading to read much less than what is actually coming out or possibly zero. The controller doesn't have any way to verify the number and it

Gas pump hacks in the past have been related to opening up the cabinet and adjusting the flow sensor to lower the sensitivity so that you pay for way less gas than what actually came out of the dispenser. These sensors have an interface bet

Probably something like 200 or 100m. The higher frequencies don't start opening up until the late 20s.

The US has some bunkers but unless you are some high government official or just work at the bunker, you're not getting in. Some people have their own bunkers but it's incredibly rare. Many people that live in tornado-prone areas

Could be related to terrain a certain distance/time before that spot in the road. The car may only trigger the warning after the fluid level has stabilized which a flat road would contribute to.

I never enjoyed holding a switch. I got the controller grip adapter thing specifically because of how cramped everything feels. I can grip it better but the button layout still sucks. Even the pro controller feels too small and cramped. I e

Looking at the affidavit, it seems that Zorn may have lied about the purpose of the DOR request. Nothing in the list explicitly applies to a journalist researching specific people. Option E almost sounds relevant but it's just for debt

It's because insurance companies tell hospitals how much they'll pay for things but when you ask how much they actually cost, the hospital shrugs because no one is breaking down the prices. The various specialists may be independe

Ancients also thought solar eclipses were bad omens yet they happen on a predictable basis.

What a ridiculous claim. Does this guy think there's just a single pollution factory in China doing all the damage? Whole Montana cannot be solely to blame, they can certainly share some blame just like any government that has any sort

It really depends on the definition of a "valid command". What do you do when you receive a command that you don't recognize or the parameters are in the wrong format? You would just ignore it and increment the invalid comman

I had the same thing happen to me once while driving in very rural West Virginia on some mountain highway. Google Maps crashed or something and cleared out my route. This place was so desolate that I was concerned I wasn't going to fin

It's been awhile but I've always taken the logos off the front of the optical drives in my desktop builds. Takes like three wipes with some acetone and now you have a very clean look. Very few companies are willing to spend money

We have an old PnP that is dogshit with small 0402 parts. Techs have to manually load carousels with parts (easy to misplace parts) and then the machine isn't so good with 0402 so sometimes will place them in the wrong spot or swap adj

I've seen racks of CAMAC modules that all use LEMO. I rarely see them elsewhere. I've heard they are very popular in Europe.

We use 38999 series 1 at work for lots of things but mostly for I/O panels on thermal vacuum chambers. Offers up to 61 pins and they are extremely robust which is good for connectors that are going to get a lot of mating cycles. We typ

You can usually avoid paying the toll if you carpool or drive a motorcycle or just don't take that highway during peak hours. There's almost always public transit along an express lane so you could take that too. It unreasonable a

CLEAR doesn't do any background check. You are just paying to get your own VIP line up to the checkpoint. You still have to talk to the TSA agent and show your ID. CLEAR doesn't even get you to the front of the precheck line unles

For some context, that F-35B took off with only 600ft of runway. A Cessna 172 can take off with as little as 800ft meaning you really don't need much for the F-35B. You can find this airstrip on Google maps when searching Marine Corps

This is fun although you'd think it would have just been easier on everyone to just have a number of beeps and the count equals the error code. Requiring a second device on hand just to decode the error beeps sounds more complex than n

Unless someone has proof otherwise, I'd bet that they've never been used for that purpose. Every major government is listening to this SARSAT downlink so it's probably better to use something less visible.

That's what I use in the GPSDO in one of my projects. The internal voltage reference powers a 10bit DAC that we dither to tune the OCXO. If the microcontroller has a voltage rail just for it's internal DAC, that would be the best

I have a T420 gathering dust in a drawer. It was my everyday laptop in college for a couple years but then I switched to buying used Thinkpad tablet PCs for taking notes. I eventually went back to it last year and upgraded a few parts but r

Depends on what you consider a "protocol". Morse code dates back to 1844 and is still in use. Hellschreiber is from the 1920s, still in use by some hams. You can downlink slow scan TV (1957) images from the ISS sometimes. Except f

Its the same feeling working with old test equipment. They have these massive Centronics-style GPIB ports that you can either connect to a converter or an Ethernet adapter. The great part is that the commands from an old unit almost always
