Don’t do this! (There’s a much safer way) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M88e1r8nvYk Big Clive discovered there’s a “thing” going around where people are charging lithium cells by attaching a stripped USB lead directly to them. Normally lithium cells are very safe if undamaged and correct charging procedures are used. But overcharging them like this can result in cell →
This posting is here to collect cyber security news in July 2022. I post links to security vulnerability news to comments of this article. You are also free to post related links to comments. →
In this post I am talking about adapting 10 and 100 megabit twisted pair Ethernet to use coaxial cable instead of twisted pair wiring. Those 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet st standards use two wire pairs for communications (one for TX and other for RX). In this article I am describing how to adapt them to →
Atari At 50: The Story Of Our Lives https://hackaday.com/2022/06/27/atari-at-50-the-story-of-our-lives/ It’s been a year of anniversaries, what with the 40th birthday of both the Commodore 64 and the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. There has been 50 years since Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney incorporated Atari Inc, a name that will forever be synonymous with the development of →
Ethernet started as a network that runs over coaxial cable. Over years the Ethernet has started to use mainly twisted pair wiring and fiber optics for communications. There seems to be every now and then still questions related to running Ethernet over coaxial cabling. This is the first part of multi-part post on running Ethernet →
Any device sporting a chip and some form of communications protocol can be hacked – that’s almost as strong a law as those governing gravity. Besides audio and video data, there are a number of parallel protocols in HDMI that transmit more information than we’d expect. There is I2C configuration data, HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content →
Kantega | The Mysterious Life of Developers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocwnns57cYQ Comments: Notice that none have created any documentation. Yep, this is accurate! This is fake I don’t see a guy browsing stack overflow and beating his head with a keyboard and regretting his life decisions. Next video should contain softwares testers as predators… lurking behind the curtain →
They are heavy (because of their iron core) and can be very large. The power transformers are design to operate best with an almost constant load which is equal to their rating. The maximum efficiency being designed to be at full load. Actually, all the transformers are the same that is same design formulae apply →
STMicroelectronics STM32 32-Bit ARM® Cortex®-M MCUs are based on the Arm Cortex-M processor. The MCUs offer a 32-bit product range that combines very high performance, real-time capabilities, digital signal processing, and low-power, low-voltage operation. This is achieved while maintaining full integration and ease of development. There is a large range of STM32 devices, based on →
The HDMI Forum has published a supplement to the HDMI standard. The new version has made HDMI 2.1a Amendment 1. This new release brings with it only one new feature: support for more powerful power feed to HDMI cable. The only new feature in the standard is known as HDMI Cable Power. HDMI cable has →
