And watch out for those sand worms!

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 bandwidth is not limited to 20MHz. (I think it's around 40MHz.)

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. Also, since it's closed source, there's nothing we can do but hope and wait (unless someone were to start an open source equivalent project).

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 for about 20% below market value. The buyer put $100k into the house and is now selling it above market value ($200k more). It will be interesting to see what the zestimate for my house will be when the other house sells again. (It will probably sell within a month.)

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 effects.

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 consider that the MAC address of the laptop would be logged and traceable to him.

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 it from Netscape on various SPARC machines and from my mobile device (PalmOS). The web page html source had no exotic platform specific language elements. It was obviously a "business decision". I wrote the VP at Verizon a letter pointing out that they had just abandoned 5% of their user base. I also switched to AT&T.

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 the registers?
