And watch out for those sand worms!

The conspiracy theorists who think we never went to the moon are mostly unaware of the retroreflectors we left behind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Laser_Ranging_experiment

BladeRF is pretty cool. It doesn't have quite the frequency range of HackRF, but it's full duplex, and uses 12-bit ADC/DAC (vs. HackRF's 8-bit ones). Also it uses USB 3 so the band…

Anyone know the story behind why baudline hasn't been updated in seven years? The site has promised a beta version with some highly desirable features for a LONG time, but nothing.…

The estimate for my house dropped by 25% in one month when the market was still rising. I'm assuming that the cause was the house next door which was in poor condition and was sold…

Is it just a coincidence that Musk's main competitor in the space business is called "The Boeing Company"? I don't think so.

The article makes no mention of single event upsets (SEUs). These occur randomly when cosmic rays can cause a bit flip anywhere in the chip. ECC is a good way to mitigate SEU effec…

I think the author never read Frank Herbert's book, but only saw the movie. Most people who hate the movie have never read the book.

I always hate to see "losses" claimed on money not collected. The copyright lobby plays the same game. There were no "losses", there was money owed that was not collected.

This seems like the sort of crime that the CFAA was intended for. He was a trusted insider for 14 years, and then this. Also, he obviously wasn't very competent if he didn't consid…

Not as elegant as Barnaby Jack, but just as effective.

Could you please provide an example?

This is not a new thing. Decades ago when Verizon contracted with Microsoft to "upgrade" their web portal, it was no longer usable from any browser other than IE. I had been using …

Yes! I love running remotely managed scripts on my local machine as root! What could be safer?

I still don't understand this. If a blob of C code passes a large structure by value, doesn't it go on the stack? Why would the compiler be required to pass such an object only via…

I wonder if they tried this: https://blog.packagecloud.io/eng/2017/02/21/set-environment-...

I hope Jason recovers in time for DefCon.

The article got the Doomsayer and Reno battlecrys wrong.

It was a bongo drum not a conga drum.

Generally the RTC in a computer is not as accurate as a typical wall clock or wristwatch. Although the RTC usually uses the same type of crystal as a watch, the circuit is not usua…

I suppose that you have now learned to not trust the United States Postal Service with your $10,000 package. FedEx or UPS do cost a little more, but in this case I think you would …

Which data was rescued? Was it the original raw data, or the "corrected" data?

Invest it in something other than a YC startup.

Sharing your password most likely violates the TOS and could subject you to felony prosecution under the CFAA.

I did a similar comparison last year, but mine was for an embedded system with no FPP (MSP430). I was able to shave more than half of the average execution time compared to the (hi…
