Back when I actually had a gaming PC, I loved using my Steam Link. I used powerline Ethernet to get a decent connection from my bedroom to the basement and it worked well, rarely stuttering. I could never get the D-pad working on my PS4 con

Anything I need windows for is work related and runs on my locked down (and actually very cleanly stripped down) windows 11 laptop. Its amazing how much Microsoft hates the consumer but bends over backwards for volume license purchasers.

The best thing about these fly-by-night Chinese tech companies that manage to shit out something actually good is that they rarely lock the device down so it's relatively easy to flash some new firmware when they inevitably disappear f

You use API tokens for things intended to be machine to machine communication and captchas for things intended to be filled out by humans. Not every site or service wants automated input, even if it's being directed by a human. I dont

The Xbox and PS5 are x86 but they aren't PCs. They are gaming appliances purpose built to run their respective purpose built operating systems. Without hacks, they don't do anything but only run code that's allowed to run. A

Yeah I only see robomaids as an affordable option for someone that needs help with absolutely everything. These things are built out of commodity parts. Maybe you can make a robomaid a little cheaper if you build a lot of them to offset the

For every job in the private sector, there's probably someone in the DoD doing the same thing. In 2005, the tooth-to-tail ratio (combat to non-combat roles) was 1:8.1. I'm guessing the vast majority of the AI usage is for things a

Your body builds up a tolerance to opioids. If you can receive a constant dose of heroin every day, your body will eventually want more of it to chase the high. For people that already have an addiction, how are they going to manage these c

We had an antenna range built inside of a shipping container. We had some pretty fancy copper cladding that had some pricey dielectric inside of it. Somehow, a copper thief found it and stole all of the cladding. That stuff was probably wor

Right but SignalTrace isn't just looking at Bluetooth MACs, they look at Wifi, TPMS, RFID, and anything else putting out a signal. Say you stop at a bank that has one of these systems and it grabs your plates and TPMS sensor IDs. You r

I don't trust the trade corrected numbers, China uses a ton of coal still and is ever increasing in their manufacturing of good sent to the US. The number for the US has mostly gone down due to switching to natural gas from coal.

True, its really the first mass produced stealth plane. Everything before it has been in pretty limited numbers (even the F-22 didn't break 200). We definitely could build a new non-stealth fighter that's cheap to build and mainta

Good job reading the actual article. It's not a audio or RF side chain attack where data is exfiltrated at a handful of bits per second, it's an attack on an unsecured BLE endpoint that can be converted into a rubber ducky.
