Hello tech bros I am hoping someone can settle a debate ive been having. Thermal scopes are a big thing these days as the price keeps falling. However, most models come with WIFI. As we know from the russua/ukraine conflict, cell phone emissions will get you pinpointed and killed. WIFI emissions would likely do the same. Now, you can always turn the wifi off in the menu. But how do you know if it is truly off all the way, and isnt emitting a low level signal? Another risk is that the receiver in the thermal could receive a "firmware update" that bricks it. If its emitting wifi to talk to the…

Now that DEFCON 34 is a wrap, I wanted to share this 100% hand-drawn sticker commission I finished up late last month for a Goon. I had to stick to the event's limited color palette, but I am absolutely stoked with how these turned out on holographic vinyl. I even snuck some hidden binary code into the design for you to find. Massive shoutout to the Goons and the DEFCON community for continuing to support my art! Most of this inventory went straight to the event. If you missed out, I have a small stash left in my Etsy shop along with matching tees. Use code DEFCON34 for 20% off your order thr…

Hi HN, I could never quite grasp the large numbers floating around in the articles and discussions about the federal deficit. So I built BudgetHole.com as a personal side project, a web app that lets you play with 150+ policy options and see how they would affect the federal budget. I've been learning a lot and I hope you like it! Bastian Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49407627 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

I got two 3XL shirts this year and they seem to run small (fit more like a 2XL). Wondering if anyone has any 4XL shirts they are willing to trade with me or just have any for sale. submitted by /u/L8NiteHashbrowns [link] [comments]

Scientists have developed an ultrathin coating that could dramatically improve how efficiently heat is transferred during condensation. By turning tiny polymer structures once considered “defects” into places where water droplets can form, then helping those droplets detach quickly, the new surface keeps exposing fresh areas for condensation. In tests on copper tubes, it transferred heat up to 5.5 times more effectively than conventional copper and more than 50% better than a standard water-repelling coating.

Honestly, I don’t have much experience with Indiegogo and thought my order had been canceled. But lo and behold, here she is. Now the fun part is figuring out how to use it, lol. There’s not enough content online for me to become YouTube certified yet. submitted by /u/Maleficent_Host3779 [link] [comments]

As the title implies, I’m looking for a DEF CON 33 pin. I have had a ritual since 30 to get a pin from merch (I think they’re swapping to magnets now) every year I attend. Last year it totally slipped my mind and I realized this year I didn’t have one. TBH tho I also don’t remember seeing any at DC33. If anyone has an extra or is willing to part with one, please let me know! submitted by /u/HeimDOS [link] [comments]

The global pandemic of 2020 changed a lot of plans, and DEF CON was no exception. We couldn’t safely hold either of our planned in-person events, so we regretfully cancelled DEF CON 28 in Las Vegas and DEF CON China 2 in Beijing. Fortunately, we’re a hacker community. We adapt. We reimagine. We find a way. We created DEF CON Safe Mode, and held our first online conference. With that experience under our belt, we threw our first online New Year’s Eve party to ring in 2021. Now we’re proud to announce another live online event, this time in VR! Along with our DEF CON China partners at B…
