My name, Wouter, isn’t the easiest to spell nor to pronounce. I find a lot of amusement in the mispronunciations. The NPC Man crew (now Viva La Dirt League) make great YouTubes about game (and computer shop) tropes. They did a kickstarter to fund their studio, and I asked them to make a video about […]| Wouter.org
The Apple & Google privacy-preserving contact tracing has no additional (privacy) cost. It may have limited to no benefit because of low adoption and other issues.

The end of a slinky seems, just like the coyote of the roadrunner cartoon, only to fall when it finally 'knows' it is no longer held.| Wouter.org

I keep seeing these “RFID blockers”. RFID blockers improve your security only a bit as contactless skimming is a high-risk/low-reward attack for the attacker: Contactless credit cards and electronic IDs reading distance is max ±25cm so about ±10 inches in lab conditions with 500+Watt amplifiers (this is the kind of power that causes sparks to […]| Wouter.org
