Who decided it was a good idea to put 48V phantom power for microphone to 1/8″ / 3.5 mm jack? This is like asking intentionally for a disaster (fried mic or other device) to happen one day or next. This is this funny silly mixer/soundcard “M6 live sound card” sold in price range $15 up →
Unshielded RCA cable is bad design. The truth is that unshielded RCA cable is bad design and should be avoided. Unshielded unbalanced cables are very sensitive to capacitive coupling especially when circuit impedance is high (impedance mostly determined by signal source output impedance in HIFI systems). For example power cords radiate a magnetic field and →
Almost all modern versions of bluetooth are hackable via BLUFFS attacks. CVE-2023-24023 Detail https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-24023 Bluetooth BR/EDR devices with Secure Simple Pairing and Secure Connections pairing in Bluetooth Core Specification 4.2 through 5.4 allow certain man-in-the-middle attacks that force a short key length, and might lead to discovery of the encryption key and live injection, aka →

I wrote a technical article on embedded systems and IoT security to Uusiteknologia.fi magazine: Designing modern electronics+ information security With the latest smart electronics and embedded microprocessors, devices connected to the network can be implemented even better, but even better care must be taken of their data security and protections. This Designing modern electronics article →
TCP/IP was born in this day 50 years ago when the editors of IEEE Transactions on Communications received a manuscript from Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn which described a method for sending packets across networks. Exactly which day Cerf and Kahn’s manuscript was received by the IEEE editors is not clear (it was either November →
