USB C cables all look the same, so how does your computer know the difference between them? Turns out there’s a tiny chip inside most USB C cables that identifies its capabilities. Someone made an open source app that uses that chip to list out the info so you... show more

To route your mic into the Aux Out port of Wave XLR Pro, head into Wave Link and simply choose the mix you'd like to send to your gaming PC, then open its settings and add USB Out as an output. If you only want your mic signal: 1️⃣ Create a mix with just your mic 2️⃣ Open that mix's settings and add USB Out as an output Now your mic will be routed through USB Out. 👍

Malicious charging cables look exactly like normal ones. The cable is the clearest example. looks like a standard Apple Lightning or USB-C cable. a hidden chip inside gives an attacker remote access to your device the moment you plug it in. what it can do: — log every keystroke — inject commands as if someone is typing on your keyboard — exfiltrate files — open a remote shell — operate over WiFi from up to 300 feet away you cannot tell by looking at it. the chip is inside the cable housing. no visible difference. Hak5(Hak5) sells them commercially at $120-$180. They've been found at conference floors. hotel lobbies. left near charging stations in airports. given away as "free" promotional items at events. Never plug a cable you didn't buy sealed from a reputable retailer. never borrow a charging cable from a stranger. ever. if you need to charge using an unknown cable: use a USB data blocker. it's a small pass-through device that allows power but blocks data pins entirely. costs under $10. fits on a keychain. if you need to share a cable at a conference: use a power-only cable. no data pins at all. physically cannot transmit anything other than charge.

Looking for the best label design for the USB port on Flipper One USB-C1 is the main USB port on Flipper One. It can do all of the following: • Power IN/OUT — it can charge Flipper One and power other devices. • Video OUT — it supports DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C so you can connect it to an external monitor. • USB Host + Device — it can emulate USB devices such as Ethernet adapters, mass-storage devices, or serial ports, while also acting as a USB host for connected peripherals. The challenge is to communicate all of this with a single label on the device itself, so users do not have to read the manual. We are trying to make the labeling as clear and compact as possible. This video walks through the constraints we faced, the options we considered, and the trade-offs behind each one. Watch it and let us know what you think. Which label makes the most sense to you? Do you have a better idea? Share it in this GitHub issue:

How to set it up: 1. Get a Lightning/USB-C to Ethernet adapter (I'm also using a USB-A to USB-C converter but you can skip that) 2. Plug an Ethernet cable from your router into the adapter 3. Plug the adapter into your iPhone 4. Turn ON Airplane Mode 5. Make sure WiFi & Bluetooth stay OFF 6. Turn off the router's WiFi That's it. Your body gets 8 hours of peace. $15 adapter. Wired internet. Full reachability. No excuses left.

This tow truck driver goes off on these kids. They ran out of gas on the side of the road and a firemen noticed them so he stopped and he gave them some gas. When they went to start the car, the battery was dead. Couldn’t figure out the reason. The firefighter radioed the sheriff. The sheriff then called this tow truck driver. The kids thought the Sheriff was coming. The tow truck driver arrives. Mind you, he got the call at 5:40 AM. The kid tells him they can’t pay for a tow and don’t need one and they can’t pay for a jump either, which they need. He goes ballistic. Well, the tow truck driver forgot his jumper cables. Didn’t pack them. 🤯 You can hear him screaming and cussing at the kid. Said he only got one hour of sleep. Eventually a passerby stopped and jumped their battery and they went on their way. A couple of things, one, for the youngsters, or anyone for that matter, never travel without jumper cables. You never know when you will need them. Two, what kind of tow truck driver doesn’t have jumper cables? 🤯 The tow truck driver talking to them like that is unacceptable. Sure he wasn’t going to get paid. I get it. This is the job you signed up for, being awakened at all hours of the night. Once he knew there was no money he had two choices, leave and go back home or stay and help. He didn’t have cables himself so just leave. Get mad at the Sheriff! 💯 Would you have been upset like that if you were the tow truck driver? Do you carry jumper cables in your car? Have you ever been stranded and needed help?

🚨As much as 99% of global internet communications rely on a series of undersea cables that are incredibly vulnerable to sabotage—as China has shown us—and earlier this year China unveiled a special tool that can cut even the deepest undersea cables. Declan Ganley, CEO of RivadaNetworks, estimates it would only take about $60 million to cut enough global undersea cables to bring down the internet around the world. “That's how pathetically vulnerable the global subsea cable infrastructure is because it's just so big, it's so vast, you cannot protect it,” he told me. But if Beijing were to cut those undersea cables, wouldn’t it be cutting themselves off as well? This is what he told me: “They're ready for that, I would argue. So if you know you're going to do that, and you have your own closed network…and you have stockpiled the things that you would need…and you had transportation systems that were resilient enough to operate without the Internet, you could do that. …If the internet goes out…the existing satellite systems that you've heard about go dark. They won't work because they all use ground gateways and ground relay systems that ultimately require and rely on these subsea cables. So you will have this cascading domino effect where your smartphone will not work, your TV will not work, because the IP-based signals that are producing that TV show and putting it onto your TV, that's going to all fail. The logistics systems that the wholesalers use to supply supermarkets will also fail. There will be no flights. Flight aircraft will be grounded because of the IP-based systems that they're allowed to rely upon. Gas stations will not be able to get refueled because of the supply. …If that happens, the last thing anybody is going to be thinking of in Poughkeepsie is: ‘Is Taiwan being invaded right now?’ And they're not going to think about it or care about it, probably for months, because they're not even going to know it happened—for at least days, and probably longer.” Rivada Space Networks

Trump: Jensen, I don't think you can open up a big plant with your friend from Taiwan where we are going to have 40% or 50% of the computer chip business -- I don't think you can do that with people who don't even know what a chip looks like.

C/C++ build tools are pathetic. You have the most powerful languages on planet Earth. Yet you are so incapable of using them that you have to resort to Python (an interpreted toy language) making your entire build setup more complicated than it could've been.

ELON: TESLA FUTURE'S HINGES ON THE AI5 CHIP PROJECT "The AI5 chip, which is going to be a great chip, all of Tesla hinges on that chip. That's the chip that is going into our next generation of self-driving cars, and it's also essential for the Optimus robot. So that chip program was in bad shape. It wasn't closing because it's quite an ambitious chip design, and it really wasn't on a path to success. And then we also had the Dojo program, which was doing okay but not on a path to be competitive with NVIDIA. So I collapsed the two programs into just one program, which is to get everyone focused on the AI5 chip, which is essential. Continue to use NVIDIA for training, but we need the AI5 inference chip, which is a very powerful chip, but it's also a very low-power chip. So it doesn't use a lot of power. Its performance per watt is extremely good. I think it's probably going to be at least 2 to 4 times better than NVIDIA performance per watt at the inference level in the car and the robot. And I don't know, 10% of the cost of an NVIDIA chip, something like that. So these are very important numbers to achieve." Source: Elon Musk, Baron Capital, Ron Baron, Tesla

We are SO LUCKY Democrats lost the election Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, promotes ingestible chip for compliance to ensure patients are taking their required meds “FDA approved the first electronic pill — So it is basically biological chip that it is in the tablet. And once you take the tablet and dissolves into your stomach, sends a signal that you took the tablet. So imagine the applications of that compliance the insurance companies to know that the medicines that patients should take, they do take them. It is fascinating what happens in this field.”

US Secret Service Director Blames ‘Sloped Roof’ for Security Failure It turns out that the roof's slope was a less than 10 degrees — hardly cause for concern. This excuse alone PROVES Kimberly Cheatle's incompetence. She must be fired immediately. “That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point, and so, you know, there’s a safety factor that we considered. We didn’t want to put someone on a sloped roof, so the decision was made to secure the building from the inside.”
