In semiconductor technology, a base material like silicon is permanently modified to induce certain electrical behavior. In comparison a topological insulator material could be used to create temporary circuits using …read more

Taking a break from ogling microscopic features in Intel’s semiconductor processors, [Ken Shirriff] is back to instead poking at decidedly macroscopic pluggable modules from the 1948 IBM 604 Electronic Calculator. …read more

Circuit bending is a chaotic art. At its simplest, it can just involve making connections between random points on a circuit board to create weird sounds in musical hardware. Or, …read more

Krebs on Security writes that security experts have been sounding the alarm for years about the risks of using generic TV boxes that promise unlimited content streaming for a one-time fee, warning that they secretly rent the user’s Internet connection out to strangers. But a groundbreaking new analysis finds these devices also routinely spoof themselves […]

The world’s first wrist computer system, released in 1984, consisted of a Seiko watch part and a separate “controller” console with a built-in printer. The user could input BASIC programing with a keyboard (sold separately) and enjoy playing games. It also included a memo function, a telephone directory, an address book, and a scheduling function.

A nice hands-on hardware hacking write-up making the rounds on Hacker News. The author picked up a bottom-of-the-line $10 TP-Link TL-841N (EU) off Facebook Marketplace specifically to practice the full end-to-end process of tearing into an IoT device: locating the UART, getting a root shell, and extracting firmware. The interesting part is that the firmware […]

Jonathan Elliot Peace has posted a Zephyr fork with board support for the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, a 26-file commit adding about 1,300 lines. The Zero 2 W runs a Broadcom BCM2710A1, the same silicon as the original Pi 3, packaged in an RP3A0-AU SiP with 512MB of LPDDR2. Zephyr boots it single-core with […]

Matt Beton trained a tiny Mamba-based autoregressive language model and wrote an inference engine to run it on the 8-bit 6502 processor (from 1975, with 32KB RAM). The MOS 6502 is an 8-bit microprocessor released in 1975, powering the BBC Micro and the Apple II. I am lucky enough to have access to my dad’s […]
