I would like to learn more about the “hack”. Although I doubt a CVE will be issued. I can only assume it’s a simple serial console port left open, and a service technician toolset was leaked with the commands to open the cash dispenser.

In this case, Louis Slotin was the safety mechanism. Different times… I’m currently reading Command and Control which dives into nuclear safety and more interestingly, accidents. I recommend it: https://books.google.com/book

I had a professor in undergrad who scheduled his classes as early as possible, around 7:30am, because he was an early riser. Notoriously known for difficult assignments and exams, he would allow extra time for tests, if we showed up an extr

I’m somewhat surprised there aren’t more EV (DC) charging companies around. There are dozens of various oil companies who have their own gas stations (subsidized by the oil industry?). Why don’t we see more electric companies building their

For those who are able, a pihole is a must when connecting a smart TV (or any other “smart” device for that matter) to the internet. It’s shockingly disturbing the amount of traffic my Samsung TV produces, even when watching OTA stations. I

Based on the outcome of the 2008 hack, some of vulnerabilities (value stored on card, not remote server) still remain today. AFC 2.0 has been delayed for many years, this new MIFARE attack vector will remain for a while longer as well.

I run a pihole on my network for exactly this reason. The amount of network traffic the TV attempts, even when on standby or watching over-the-air broadcast is astonishing.

The LOX tank cameras are amazing. The quality isn't great but recording video from inside a cryogenic pressure vessel through fiber optics and strobes (shutterless) to the film frame rate using 1960s tech blows me away.

Does it strike anyone else as being odd that Apple is noting this in their “Newsroom” press release? Don’t get me wrong, great for Shazam and all … but why is Apple - the company that bought them just 4 years ago - is making a todo about it
