Reversing a Fingerprint Reader Protocol (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-02 09:02:37

Linux compatibility is quite good, as documented in the Arch Wiki. One part that is not working is the fingerprint reader. In this blog post I describe my approach to reverse engineering the fingerprint reader's windows driver and USB protocol. This results in a python script, capable of streaming images from the sensor at

General Motors is tapping the brakes on its all-electric push, signaling that the gasoline-powered cars we’ve known for a century have a much “longer runway” than previously predicted. This marks a strategic pivot that speaks volumes about the cooling EV market. The shift in tone and strategy was laid bare during the company’s second-quarter conference call with analysts Tuesday, where executives announced plans to increase product

wired.com Matt Kamen 2026-01-07 05:00:00

Once upon a time, if you wanted to play Neo Geo games, it took serious financial investment. The original Neo Geo AES (Advanced Entertainment System) home console launched at $650 in 1991, equivalent to about $1,535 in 2025. Games would sell for around $200, around $472 today. The hook, for an emerging underground of gamers, was that the AES was identical at a hardware level to manufacturer SNK's MVS (Multi Video System) coin-op cabinets, meaning games played at home were indistinguishable from
