The Trump administration, through the Department of Defense, plans to spend $1 billion over the next four years on what it calls “offensive cyber operations.” The provision in Trump’s landmark One Big Beautiful Bill does not say what those “offensive cyber operations” are, nor what specific tools or software would qualify. The budget does note that the money will go towards enhancing and improving the capabilities of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, which operates in the Asia-Pacific region, incl

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google has started displaying a new Star Wars/Coca-Cola ad on Google TV home screens. The new ad is displayed at the top of the For You page and takes over the majority of the UI. Google TV has had similarly annoying ads for Taco Bell, March Madness, and more. As much as Google TV gets right, the platform’s obsession with displaying advertisements and sponsored content is by far one of its greatest pitfalls. Most recently, one of the newest ads to hit peo

Here's a version I built into a "fake" book I found at an art store. The copper PCB is connected to the circuit ground to act as a counterpoise for the antenna, increasing sensitivity. The lightning bolt was cut with a sharp knife then filled with blue-dyed epoxy. The antenna connects to the pin jack. I used a cheap flashlight head for the LED - I used too much blue dye in the epoxy so I need a bright flash! The image below is with an LED and no pot (but with the 150k resistor added). I made se
