https://www.reddit.com/r/arduino/comments/6sdtxr/arduino_emulating_an_8086_pc_a_work_in_progress/ This looks amazing work in progress: code to emulate the basics of a typical 1980′s PC (video card, disk controller, input, 8253 timer chip, 8259 interrupt controller, etc), wired up 1 MB of SRAM on the breadboard, and added a 2.8″ 320×240 LCD display. I embedded a public domain XT BIOS in the PROGMEM. →

Installing Linux on an Android device can help you to turn your simple phone into a highly useful tool for web development, troubleshooting, and various other procedures common in the IT industry. →
https://code.berlin/en/blog/computer-science-software-engineering/ Where computer science is about taking complex problems and deriving a solution from mathematics, science and computational theory, software engineering is very much focused around designing, developing and documenting beautiful, complete, user-friendly software. →
https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-scripting-using-awk/ AWK is a programming language that is designed for processing text-based data, either in files or data streams, or using shell pipes. You can combine awk with shell scripts or directly use at a shell prompt. Awk is an excellent tool for building UNIX/Linux shell scripts. I have successfully used AWK with very many →
https://blog.huntingmalware.com/notes/WMI Whenever someone thinks about hooking Microsoft Windows events, one thinks about rootkits, low level C++ code, and Windows API calls. There’s another approach to achieve similar things using just pre-installed Windows tools and without knowing anything about Windows internals. WMI is its name. From the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN): WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is the →

A top analyst at the firm says green energy will overtake fossil fuels by 2020. There was no clear answer what they ment by “overtake”, but →
https://access.redhat.com/blogs/766093/posts/3031361?sc_cid=7016000000127ECAAY The SSL/TLS protocol uses RSA, Diffie-Hellman (DH) or Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) primitives for the key exchange algorithm. RSA is based on the fact that when given a product of two large prime numbers, factorizing the product (which is the public key) is computationally intensive, but a quantum computer could efficiently solve this problem →

They can play computer demo multimedia with old game consoles, Arduino+LED sign, LEGOs and audio mixer… Many cool hacks I would say! Assembly Summer 2017 event is still going on, more videos at AssemblyTV at YouTube and Assembly Summer 2017 pages. →
RF attenuators are a universal building block within the RF design arena. I neeeded some RF attenuators for my electronics lab. I found this cheap product DC-4.0GHz RF Fixed Attenuator from Banggood. They seemed to have pretty good specfications and features considering that the price is just slightly over 7 Euros for three attenuators: Frequency →
