Tech News Today 1563: The Morrone Hack Test

Tue, 26 Jul 2016 18:25:37 PDT

It's earnings week! After their respective announcements, Apple stock is up and Twitter stock is down. Regarding Apple, revenue dropped and hardware sales continue to decline, but less than Wall Street thought they would. Oh, and the company is still sitting on a ridiculous pile of cash. Apple says they sold 40.4 million iPhones, 9.95 million iPads (which is better than expected), and 4.25 million Macs.

Kurt Wagner joins us to talk about how Twitter still struggles with user growth and harassment. BlackBerry has made a bet on Android, first with its BlackBerry Priv (released last year with a slide-out keyboard and premium price) and now with its followup, the BlackBerry DTEK50. The National Transportation Board released a preliminary report of the May 7th fatal accident involving a Tesla in autopilot mode. Finally, MIT wants to rid the world of 3D glasses.

Tech News Today 1561: Hovering Slurpees

Fri, 22 Jul 2016 18:34:03 PDT

It appears that Yahoo's search for a suitor is nearing its bitter end. Sources report that a sale of Yahoo's search business to Verizon is imminent. This doesn't come as much of a surprise. We've all read the leaks and speculation and Verizon has been a front-runner for a while, due in part to its massive pile of cash and its ability and desire to patch together a digital media empire along with its purchase of AOL. Seems like a game of Monopoly to us.

Fresh off yesterday's announcement of a phone case that stops government surveillance, NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden appeared at a secret Comic-Con screening of the film Snowden by Oliver Stone.

The New York Times reports that internet celebrity Jack Johnson has been hacking his fans accounts. How? He asked for their credentials and tens of thousands of them complied. The YouTube and Vine star then left funny videos on the fans Twitter account, playing keyboard, doing somersaults, or praising their pinned tweets with the hashtag, HackedByJohnson. The Times says those kids who handed over their passwords knew exactly what they were doing and it was a normal act of teenage rebellion.

Amazon drones are yet to deliver sneakers to my home, but 7-Eleven has completed its maiden home drone delivery, dropping off Slurpees, a chicken sandwich, donuts, hot coffee and candy directly to somebody's front door. 7-Eleven partnerered with drone company Flirty to make the FAA approved delivery. Last year we told you about Flirty's first delivery ever, which was to deliver medical supplies from an airfield to a medical clinic. Slurpees are a far cry from medical supplies. But the coffee is another story.

Tech News Today 1560: Personal Space Drone

Thu, 21 Jul 2016 18:07:52 PDT

All is revealed with Elon Musk's Master Plan and it goes something like this: Tesla Solar is not really new, but newly important...or so Musk would have us believe. The idea is essentially an app store, but instead of apps it's sun power that Tesla wants to control. Musk also revealed the Tesla Semi - a ginormous solar commercial vehicle to be revealed next year. And the cake topper: the future ability to share your Tesla with a push of a button so you can make money from your super expensive car when you're not using it. Also, if you're going to successfully run one of the most popular places for people to find unofficial copies of movies and TV shows, you might think twice before you open a Facebook account for your business. Leslie Jones is back on Twitter, and we decided this means good is winning. Owen talks about the Hover Cam, the Bagel, Mirror's Edge, and Uncharted. Plus, one of Facebook's Internet drones has taken its first flight.

Know How... 227: Pokemon How, and Germination

Thu, 14 Jul 2016 15:10:07 PDT

We go over the basics of Pokemon Go, which extended battery is best for you, and building a germination cube.

Pokemon Go

The Basics

Padre's Special Sauce
Since this is basically Ingress with a different skin many of the same recomendations that we had for Ingress will work for Pokemon Go.

Power!
- You're using the most power-hungry parts of your phone. (Screen, Cell Radio, GPS)
- What you need is an external battery
Innergie PocketCell Plus ~$60
- 6,000 mAh
- 2 USB ports that can supply a total of 21W
- Can recharge at the same time it's charging
Ventev Powercell 6000+ ~$40-55
- 6,000 mAh
- 2 USB ports that can supply a total of 15W
- Includes an AC adapter!
Anker Astro E1 ~$17
- 5200 mAh
- Single USB Port

Germination Cube

Project Summary
We want a transparent germination/seedling container that allows us to see when the plant is getting root-bound. However, a transparent container would allow direct light to strike roots, which will retard the growth of fine "root hairs" which are responsible for nutrient extraction. So we're creating a "germination cube" that will block direct light while holding an inexpensive transparent container.

Parts List

STL Files
Alhambra Cups

Tools

3D Printer

Know How... 225: Cheap Odor Eater

Thu, 07 Jul 2016 13:54:50 PDT

We get out done by Mark Olson's Steampunkier goggles, and we build a cheaper odor eater.

Cheap Odor Eater: Parts

Project Overview:

Our "Odor Eater" project used ~$60 in parts, but we think we can do it cheaper... A LOT cheaper. This time we're investing less than $30 to make a renewable filter that fits right on top of an "Aquarium Masters" activated Carbon jar.

Parts List:

Aquarium Masters - Laboratory Grade Activated Carbon (Price is for TWO bottles) ~$22
120mm Fan (Cooler Master SickleFlow -- but ANY 120mm fan will do) ~$8
Pantyhose or Foam ~$5
12v Power Source
3D Printed 120mm-Aquarium Masters Adapter, Flow Director
6-32 Bolts and Nuts
Ziplock Bag
Silicone Sealant (Optional)

Tools List:

Phillips Screwdriver
Pliers
Wire Snippers/Strippers
Soldering Kit
3D Printer

STL Files

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9042212/KH225_CheapOdorEater.zip

^AquariumMasters_120mm_adapter_v3.stl
^FlowDirector_v3.stl

Also Includes the raw files so you can make your own

COE: Assembly

Assembly:

Attach a 120mm fan to the frame using 6-32 bolts and nuts.
- Make sure the direction of the fan sucks air THROUGH the frame.
- If you're going to use tapered case screws, you'll have to enlarge the mounting holes on the frame. Either Dremel them out or modify the STL file.
- Optionally, you can draw a bead of silicone sealant along the edges of the adapter to create an seal with the fan housing.
Attach your power source to the Black (ground) and Yellow (12v+) leads of the 120mm fan.
Empty 3/4 of the "Aquarium Masters" jar into a ziplock bag.
Drill holes along the top of the jar. (NOT in the threading area)
Insert foam pieces inside the jar, under the holes you've drilled.
Insert the flow director into the jar.
Pour the remainder of the AC into the flow director.
Cap the flow director with foam cut into the shape of adapter funnel
Close and Power on!

Tue, 05 Jul 2016 16:17:56 PDT

Drew Curtis from Fark.com is here for a shallow dive into today's tech news. It's time to go back to Comcast to get back that set-top box, because soon you'll be able to stream Netflix on it. Re/Code reports that Comcast will incorporate Netflix into X1, which means that later this year you'll be able to stream Netflix straight from your Comcast cable box. A bitter rivalry dating at least as far back as 2010 seems to be coming to an end. Want to donate organs? There's an app for that. Also, everything you need to know about cloning your pet. Plus, be careful robbing the live/work space of a GPS tracking company.

Know How... 224: Deodorizer and Swamp Cooler

Thu, 30 Jun 2016 14:33:55 PDT

How to build your own deodorizer, and stay cool without spending a lot of money.

Odor Eater 1

Project Overview

Using off-the-shelf parts along with a 3D-printed frame and some soldering skill, we're going to create an inexpensive air filtration system that can also remove foul odors from an enclosed area.

Parts List

Carbon Filter
- iPower GLFILT4M Air Carbon Filter and Odor Control ~$40
  - I like this unit b/c it's inexpensive, 4" (easier to print for), and reversible
- Whichever unit you choose, make sure it has a 4" outlet and comes with a pre-filter
120mm Fans x 2
- I went for a 5-pack of Artic F12 ~$20
- You want something with a CFM of 60 or better
M3 Bolts + Nuts
Aluminum Duct Tape (Optional) ~$20
The 3D Printed Parts (Adapter + Duct)
12v Power supply

Tools List

3D Printer
Soldering Kit
JST Power Connectors
Screwdriver
Pliers

Instructions

Using M3 bolts and nuts, mount a 120mm fan to the side of the duct. Make sure that the airflow sucks air through the duct. Insert the bolts so their heads are on the INSIDE of the mount. (i.e the excess bolt length should point AWAY from the main assembly)
Using M3 bolts and nuts, sandwich another 120mm fan between the duct and the adapter. Make sure that the airflow pulls air through the adapter and pushes it up into the duct. Insert the bolts so the excess points down.
Fit the adapter over the mounting flange of the carbon filter
Seal the adapter to the filter with aluminum tape (other tape is acceptable)
Solder the power and ground wires of both fans to a female JST plug. Insulate as necessary.

The 3D Parts for this project can be found at the link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9042212/KH224_OdorEater.zip

Swamp Cooler

Parts List

Honeywell TurboForce Fan HT-90 $24.00 -or - 120mm Fan $6.99
Home Depot 5-gal bucket $2.97
5-gal Bucket Liner $6.00
Flow Vents

Tools List

Marker
Cutting Tool
Glue/Tape

Process

Mark a circle around the fan on the bucket lid.
Mark circles around the outlets
Use the cutting to cut a slightly smaller circle in the lid
Use the cutting tool to cut out the outlets
Insert the foam liner into the bucket
Use the cutting tool to cut outlet holes into the liner
Set the foam lid for the liner and close the lid on the plastic bucket
Use the cutting tool to cut through the foam lid
Secure fan to plastic lid
Secure vents to outlets

Box Fan/Filter

Project Overview

Most of us have hung a fan on a window to get circulation. Why not add a filter so that you're not blowing in the debris, pollen and soot from outside? This is a SUPER simple, inexpensive way to breathe air that is just a LITTLE bit better for you.

Parts:

Box Fan (Lasko B20401 20") ~$20
Box Fan Filter (Fan Buddy 2-" Washable Air Filter) ~$30

Optional Parts:

Eyelets x 2
Nut + Washer (x4)
Bungie Cords

Tools:

Power Drill
Pliers
Loktite Blue
