I'm curious as to why there isn't more political discussion on HN just due to the nature of the high intelligence and mind-swell here. Does this community not care and realize the harm that follows from the current regime in power? Or are people too heavily invested in this Yarvin character and want the world to very much be a Cyberpunk 2077/The Division landscape? Crazy.

I really wish there were more people who were new into physical security and social engineering. It's all the same people over and over.

this is awesome :)

W...what? What does it matter if you have non-competes when companies have gentleman agreements not to poach each other's staff?

-heavy sigh- this is frustrating.

why would DEFCON go with such a small outfit?

On what planet can you get ICs for less than a $1?

Here's not only the IC but an entire development board for $0.95: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805283269799.html

cool, I guess we can go make lightsabers instead of badges...

when did they actually start working on it? ToyMakers starts their work right after a conference ends to prepare for the next conference. The logistics and scale even for several hundred badges is immense.

Do people actually believe when a company says something caused billions of dollars of damage? unless you can quantify that, much like law enforcement and articulate suspicion, it's pretty useless as a metric. If you can pull something out of your ass, what does it matter?

This is oddly well timed and amazing. I've been thinking about Dune and wanting to play it for a while now when I was recently looking at some old games when I had a Packerd Bell PC. Sweet, amazing work! :)
