At EFF we spend a lot of time thinking about the tech used by police and authorities to spy on you while you’re going about your everyday life, like cell-site simulators (CSS). Rayhunter is a tool we’ve created that we hope empowers everyone to help search out CSS. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Played through the first #PhoenixWright game on #NintendoDS. Had a great time! Fun stories, fun characters, loved all the anime pixel art. I ended up playing via #emulation on my phone, since its almost entirely a touch based game. It played perfectly and worked great in a vertical layout.

Not sure why this is so hidden on #iPhone… but you can convert images to jpg, png, gif, pdf, etc directly on your phone without any apps. Just use this #shortcut I made. Once added, go to any image, tap share it, and scroll down to “convert image” button... 🤯 www.icloud.com/shortcuts/27...

“Magic Carpet” 1 and 2 are some of the most unique #retrogames ever made! I played them in the 90’s, and I still play them even today. The first game was even ported to #Playstation and #SegaSaturn (PS1 version is better). Highly recommend playing them! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_C...

Full self-driving cars will not succeed without a #LiDAR and vision combination. LiDAR fills the voids that a “vision-only” vehicle leaves behind. I recently discovered #Luminar and am very excited about their LiDAR+vision tech! Really hoping it becomes the standard! www.luminartech.com

#LPT: Buy a #Battery tester! Every time I have changed batteries on a device, I find that only 1 or 2 of the batteries were bad, while the others were perfectly fine. Also, use rechargeable batteries! They might be expensive up front, but will save you tons of money down the road!
