there's another reason for why i hate gemini other than it just being AI, whenever it (randomly!!) opens on my phone it turns off my headphones. It doesn't stop the video or plays a different sound, it doesn't simply disconnect the bluetooth, it somehow TURNS OFF my headphones.

whenever gemini does this i need to put the earbuds back in the case and take them out again. how is this a thing

I wonder if gemini is why my ear buds are now randomly going to my phone when I'm using them with my computer. #bluetooth #technology #bugs#PixelBugs #hacking

Software-defined radio (SDR) transforms how we study and experiment with wireless communication.

By processing real signals on your computer, you’ll explore modulation, filtering, and receiver design—skills that extend into modern systems like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular.

Whether you’re an engineer or an enthusiast, SDR offers a practical way to understand the building blocks of today’s wireless world.

The cover shows a humanoid robot sitting on the floor with headphones on, connected by cable to a large vintage radio. Behind the radio is a window with curtains. The background is yellow and beige. At the top of the graphic is the text “Decode the Invisible World Around You.” At the bottom is the text “Explore the signals behind Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular—starting with SDR fundamentals.”

#Bluetooth was a mistake: Millions of Bluetooth headphones can potentially be turned in eavesdropping devices. Best-seller #Sony and #Bose #headphones are affected by at least some of the disclosed flaws among many others. The true dimension of these flaws is yet unknown as the the vulnerable component is very widely in use under different names.

> [...] these vulnerabilities allow attackers to fully take over the headphones via Bluetooth. No authentication or pairing is required. The vulnerabilities can be triggered via Bluetooth BR/EDR or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Being in Bluetooth range is the only precondition. It is possible to read and write the device’s RAM and flash. [...] hijack established trust relationships with other devices, such as the phone paired to the headphones.
