A Conversation With BMO A conversation with BMO showing off some voice recognition capabilities. There is no interaction for BMO’s responses other than voice […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAdd colorful effects to your 1980s boombox with Arduino and LEDs Arduino Team — January 5th, 2018 While ’80s-style boomboxes have their own unique character, per hacker “Dancorp’s” excellent mod, it’s clear that they could be improved dramatically with programmable LEDs. This build uses a capacitive filtering arrangement to feed line out signals from the boombox […]
Reading Time: 9 minutesOver the last couple of days, there has been a lot of discussion about a pair of security vulnerabilities nicknamed Spectre and Meltdown. These affect all modern Intel processors, and (in the case of Spectre) many AMD processors and ARM cores. Spectre allows an attacker to bypass software checks to read data from arbitrary locations […]
