Axiomtek – a world-renowned leader relentlessly devoted in the research, development and manufacture of series of innovative and reliable industrial computer products of high efficiency – is pleased to introduce the GOT610-837, an ultra-rugged 10.4″ vehicle-mounted touch panel computer for logistics and manufacturing applications. The feature-rich vehicle-mounted terminal is powered by the quad-core Intel® Atom® processor E3845. The
If you worked with computers back in the 1970s, there’s a good chance you used a light pen at some point: a simple input device that you’d point at the CRT screen to highlight text, choose menu options or manipulate graphic objects. Although ubiquitous in those days, the light pen lost the battle for ergonomics
A cozy night in with a hardware capture-the-flag challenge, embedded in a gorgeous PCB conference badge! This year, I had the pleasure of interviewing Abhinav Pandagale about his full-color PCB badges for this year’s RSA Conference and BSides SF security events in San Francisco. He showed me some cool demos and info about the UV printing used on both badges: Abhinav
