3D Printed Smartphone Case to Include Cooling Fans for Sustained Pokemon Go Play
(July 18, 2016) A 3D printed smartphone case that may better support and cool smartphones has recently been designed and prototype printed. Made to look like a real life Pokédex, SparkFun user NPOOLE created the battery pack with the intention of helping Pokemon Go players play for longer amounts of time. The case fits a Samsung Galaxy S4 and “hides a 2,600 mAh battery pack” … [Read more...]
Cooling Fans Used for Computer Hacking
(June 24, 2016) Researchers in Israel have recently created malware call Fansmitter and hijacked computer fans to transmit data. According to PCWorld.com, “The research from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev shows how data could be stolen from “air-gapped” computers, which are not connected to the Internet” by manipulating the sounds fans create. Fansmitter can secretly send … [Read more...]
