I'd like to take a moment to appreciate #USB power delivery.

As a kid, I would have killed to be able to run my #GameBoy off my parents' car engine during road trips. To say nothing of the #GameGear's infamously high power draw.

Modern phones and portable game consoles can do just that, no problem. And thanks to that, they can get away with having glorious high-resolution emissive screens and fast CPUs. The idea of the Game Gear is now perfectly viable. Awesome.

Mehr Zubehör von Apple-Tochter Beats: Diesmal Kabel

Apple nutzt die Markenreichweite seiner Audiotochter, um margenstarke Zubehörprodukte an Mann und Frau zu bringen: Nach iPhone-Hüllen folgen nun USB-C-Strippen.

I've just listened to an #ITSecurity presentation, which gave me a few more nightmares to worry about.

First, there is #Shodan , a search engine for the #Internet (as opposed to the World Wide Web), aka "how to find hackable things on the Internet". If you have any devices accessible via the Internet - such as security cameras - it can probably be found there. And there are numerous people and companies who leave these devices unsecured - as the presenter demonstrated.

Also, #USB cables exist which look like the real thing but contain secret WLAN access for hackers. They cost around $200 these days, and can only be distinguished from the real thing by #CT scans.

After my precious #HDBaseT in-home streaming solution was stolen by a neighbor last week (Amazon refunded me), I settled for a more more low-tech solution: I ordered a 10 m #HDMI cable and a 15 m active #USB 2.0 extension.

It's more conduit for sure, but cheaper and probably less hassle to set up as well.

Can't wait for #PC couch #gaming at 4K60 🤓
