=> ↺ Raspberry Pi Alternative Orange Pi 5 Plus Brings RK3588 to the SBC Game
Orange Pi 5 is set to launch its latest SBC with a beefier RK3588 SoC and a plethora of RAM options
=> ↺ Emoband strokes and squeezes your wrist
Modern consumer devices are fantastic at providing visual and auditory stimulation, but they fail to excite any of the other senses. At most, we get some tactile sensation in the form of haptic feedback.
=> ↺ Fingertip force control aids in sports and musical training
An Arduino Uno Rev3 board paired with a function generator gives the system precise control over the EMS unit, allowing it to adjust muscle stimulation as necessary. It does so in real-time in response to fingertip force estimated by a machine-learning regression model. An expert in the activity could use the system to train it on the proper amount of force for an action, then the system could provide the amount of stimulation necessary for a new student to replicate the expert’s force. With practice, the student would gain a feel for the force and then could perform the activity on their own without the aid of the system.
=> ↺ Schneider Euro PC: Restoration Part 6
As mentioned in a previous post, I was a little wary that I might have caused damage to the parallel port IC when the tantalum capacitor popped. My original plan was to buy a parallel port sound card and try that, unfortunately shipping of this is taking a really long time. So, this will be for a follow-up video.
=> ↺ Cybersecurity Attacks Launched From Operating Systems & Apps On The Rise
According to a new report from Secureworks, endpoint attack vectors that include email, popular operating systems, and apps are on the rise.
In response to attacks by way of Android apps, Google has removed thousands of nefarious apps that had the capability to launch malware enabling developers to launch a wide array of attacks including Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, Man-in-the-Middle (MitM), and Ransomware attacks.
It is a little-known fact that bad actors can launch attacks on networks and critical infrastructure by way of popular operating systems that support surveillance and data mining technologies.
=> ↺ Google Coral Dev Board Micro available for ~$83.29
The Coral Dev Board Micro is a small dual-core microcontroller device with a 4 TOPS ML accelerator and built-in camera. These embedded boards, the compatible PoE module and Wi-Fi/BT5.0 module are already available from a couple of global distributors.
=> ↺ Why does Google think people want to Zoom from their cars?
Dubbed Android Auto, Google says the software will be available in 200 million cars by the end of the year. Specifically, the update will add functionality for Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex by Cisco, allowing drivers to “join important meetings without taking your eyes off the road.”
