Researchers have identified multiple security issues with this Lenovo smartwatch. Continue reading Lenovo Watch X Riddled with Security Vulnerabilities
A friend of mine offered me a Lenovo Watch X – which costs around €60 – in return for helping him with a security project. I was impressed with the design and the quality of the watch. Of course, I also immediately wanted to test its … Continue reading Your Lenovo Watch X Is Watching You & Sharing What It Learns
If there’s a happier word ever imported into the English language than “Glockenspiel”, we’re not sure what it is. And controlling said instrument with a bunch of servos and an Arduino makes us just as happy.
When [Leon van den Beukel] found a toy glockenspiel in a thrift store, he knew what had to be done – Arduinofy it. His first attempt was a single hammer on a pair of gimballed servos, which worked except for the poor sound quality coming from the well-loved toy. The fact that only one note at a time was possible was probably the inspiration …read more

Everyone has heard of a computer mouse before, but what about a mouse computer?
Granted, [Electronic Grenade]’s all-in-one computer in an oversized mouse-shaped case is almost without practical value. But that’s hardly the point, which was just to do something cool. Inspiration came from keyboards stuffed with a Raspberry Pi to make a mostly-all-in-one machine; this Rodent of Unusual Size is the next logical step. With a Pi Zero W and a LiPo battery alongside a mouse mechanism inside the 3D-printed case – alas, no real mouse currently on the market would house everything – the computer sports not only …read more

I’ve just been reading this article on proprietary RF protocols vs Bluetooth and it seems to be suggesting that the security through obscurity gained through a proprietary protocol is advantageous over the more well-known Blu… Continue reading Proprietary RF Protocol Security
The holidays bring us many things. Family and friends are a given, as is the grand meal in which we invariably overindulge. It’s a chance for decades old songs and movies to somehow manage to bubble back up to the surface, and occasionally a little goodwill even slips in here or there. But perhaps above all, the holidays are a time for every retailer to stock themselves to the rafters with stuff. Do you need it? No. Do they want it? No. But it’s there on display anyway, and you’re almost certainly going to buy it.
Which is precisely how …read more
