While bicycles appear to have standardized around a relatively common shape and size, parts for these bikes are another story entirely. It seems as though most reputable bike manufacturers are …read more Continue reading Developing an Open Source Bike Computer
Apple has released urgent security updates for its customers, following the discovery of zero-day vulnerabilities that can be used to hack into iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Continue reading Update now! Apple pushes out security patches for iPhone and Mac zero-day vulnerabilities
As machine learning and artificial intelligence becomes more widespread, so do the number of platforms available for anyone looking to experiment with the technology. Much like the single board computer …read more Continue reading Smart Camera Based on Google Coral
New malware samples use location awareness to specifically target Japanese and Korean endpoints. The malware uses two techniques to determine the location in which it is being executed and ensures that the payload will only be triggered in these region… Continue reading Location-Aware Malware Targets Japanese and Korean Endpoints
After discovering that honeybees understand the concept of zero, scientists tested the insect’s ability to spot gains and losses. Continue reading Honeybees Can Add and Subtract, Study Finds
If you’re desperate for a sense of nostalgia for video games of yore but don’t want to shell out the big bucks for an NES classic, you can always grab a single arcade-style game that’ll plug straight into your TV. Of course it’s no longer 1980, and playing Space Invaders or Asteroids can get old after a while. When that happens, just replace the internals for an upgraded retro Atari 2600 with all the games from that system instead of just one.
As expected for something that has to fit in such a tiny package, this upgrade is based on …read more
[Bram] wasn’t satisfied with the portable music playback devices that were currently available. He craved an offline music player that had a large storage capacity but found that this was only available in high-end, off-the-shelf options, which were far too expensive. [Bram] decided to make his own, powered by a Raspberry Pi zero. After building an initial prototype, the design was iterated a few times, with the latest version featuring a BOM cost of roughly €80.
The whole project is open source, with hardware and software files available on the project GitHub. A 2.2″ TFT displays the UI, which is …read more

By giving bees visual math quizzes, scientists discovered that these insects know a null set when they see one. Continue reading Honey Bees Are the First Insect Known to Grasp the Concept of Zero
Do you remember the screeching of a dial-up modem as it connected to the internet? Do you miss it? Probably not, but [Erick Truter] — inspired by a forum post and a few suggestions later — turned a classic modem into a 3G Wi-Fi hotspot with the ubiquitous Raspberry Pi Zero.
Sourcing an old USRobotics USB modem — allegedly in ‘working’ condition — he proceeded to strip the modem board of many of its components to make room for the new electronic guts. [Truter] found that for him the Raspberry Pi Zero W struggled to maintain a reliable network, and …read more
Working on a PhD in composition, [Stephen Coyle] spends a fair bit of time at his electric keyboard. Setting himself up to work can be a bit of a task, so he felt he could improve the process and make it easy as Pi.
Finding it an odious task indeed to use notation software, connecting his laptop to his keyboard is a must — avoiding a warren of wires in the move is a similar priority. And, what if he could take advantage of the iPad’s unique offerings too? Well, a Raspberry Pi Zero W running Ravelox — an RTP …read more
