There is an aspect of mmwave that gets missed by a lot of tech watchers and some mobile operators. In low and mid band, repeaters are reviled because they create a lot of adjacent interference. In the mmwave band, due to the short wave leng

Note that a physical switch can be overridden just as easy as a soft switch, the vendor can just put a soft switch in parallel with it and you would never know it. The hard switch could turn off the display, speaker etc. while the processor

If I understand it correctly, the spoofing works by replaying the original signal delayed in time but at a higher power so the receiver selects your better spoofed signal. I wonder if it would be possible for the receiver to compute what th

The thing I don't understand about that MCAS system is why it would continue to drive the nose of the plane down even when the pilot is reefing on the stick to pull up. The cruise control in my car automatically disengages when I hit t

You and me both. Now days people send their kids off to college with a cell phone. When I went off to college my Mom gave me a roll of quarters to use to call home with. I used phone hacks instead and spent the quarters on beer :) Back the

When I was growing up on a farm, my Aunt Hattie had chickens and it was normal when we went to her house for dinner to watch her chop the chickens head off (on a farm, such things were fairly common and not at all shocking when you are brou

I have an uncle that is one of those "gold guys" who thinks economic collapse is around the corner (shrug; who knows he may end up being right someday). He says he has buried $500K in gold on his 200 acre place and says he is the

This reminds me of the asshole billionaires who shake down cities to get a free stadium for their stupid football, basketball or whatever team and have a bunch of regular people pay for their toy.

This is probably the wrong way to be thinking about this, admittedly, but... would investing in land in Greenland be pretty smart. Well, I suppose if you knew you would live to be 100. But still... https://www.quora.com/How-

LOL, yes, so much fun ;) But meh, patents smachents, the important thing, in my view, is that whatever is keeping you from being creative, find a way to break out. For me, I grew up on a farm in a rural area and it ways moving to San Fran

I love the Feynman Algo. I hold over 60 patents (not bragging) often times colleagues will ask me if I can teach them to be innovative. After being asked this question a number of times and giving it a lot of thought, the answer I give now

Almost any wireless link will be subject to man in the middle attacks by nature, in my view. If you can sniff the medium, you eventually can probably find a way to intercept it. Wired connections are more secure, or perceived to be so becau

I think people want to feel like they have some control over their fate. I certainly do. But, I am not sure that the data supports that. But, for me, in a situation where the data is not conclusive, maybe the best thing is to enjoy your tim

I dunno. You know… my grandpa drank a 5th of whiskey a day and smoked one cigar a day until the day he died. Age 102. Sometimes I think that you enjoy the heck out of life and don't worry about anything. Shrug. I hope genetics matters

Interesting. Also, there used to be a feature for cell phones that was called "Caller Pays" where the caller paid to place a call to you (back when they charged you per minute to talk on a cell phone) but of course the cell compan

This is probably never going to happen... But, IMHO, I think the best way would be to implement a very small fee for each call placed. Even if it was a penny or a few cents, most people, if not all will never feel that but it would put most
