Despite what you read on Hacker News no amount of encryption or software trickery is going to stop this.
Advanced technologies allow them to know when these things are brewing, but per game theory they allow them to happen to not reveal that capability.
Encryption and Snowden have nothing to do with it. They are limited hangouts to gaslight and decrease the power of the lower echelons of government (you know, the regular people who might actually have stopped this).
- 12VDC air pump to push water from tank into coffee pod
- 10K thermistor, stuck in the tank
- 1400 Watt heating element
I wired all three to the Arduino through a transistor for the pump, a resistor divider to use analogRead() and calculate temperature, and a mechanical relay.
The Arduino uses 4 buttons: heating element toggle, temperature up/down, and pump engage. I didn't bother with the water sense non-sense Keurig uses (to know if water is in the tank or reservoir), so it pretty much checks temperature and if it is low engages the relay. When it's done I then hit the button to dump the water through the coffee (so it's not as automated as Keurig, but better than buying a new one). Code is here:
The thing was a pain to disassemble too. It's one of those "oooooooohhhh that's how it's put together" products where you have completely destroyed the plastic tabs before you see the one magic screw holding it together.

With this I can customize the temperature and use PWM on the pump to adjust pressure/flow. :D
If I had to use that 2.0 model I'd just lobotomize it right out of the box.
- Electromagnetic energy (photons) at certain wavelengths will pass though brain tissue (neurons) and interact with them.
- This interaction is dependent on the neuron's polarization state (from a negative voltage (unfired), to a positive one (fired)).
- The cacophony of noise and interactions can be measured and deconvoled to show patterns.
- Groups of neurons and their polarization states can be observed (much like an fMRI scanner deconvolves magnetic impulses to show a 3D image, this system deconvoles microwave radiation from a MASER).
- The microwave carriers (which are in the GHz) operate much faster than your brain (which is KHz at best), so deconvolution and denoising techniques have plenty of data to work with.
- The radiation reflected back is in terabits per second, but your mental processes and sensory inputs are much lower, so there is a million-to-one oversampling of the data (i.e. the information is there, decoding it is key).
Obviously if I had a working system that would be my proof, but that's a widget they won't let me near! I could write volumes about this, but convincing people that it is even possible is difficult. Hopefully the graybeards and smarties out around here can piece it together. I wish I were joking, but that's up to the reader to decide. <:)
If Snowden had leaked usable information about microwave weapons and quantum computers the Russians would not have merely accepted him... they'd be willing to go to war for him.
Makes you wonder if the Snowden leaks weren't just a big PsyOp on the BRICS. ;)
This is the latest rave in Silicon Valley (which used to be called Microwave Valley!). Well... not the latest, they've been working on it for decades. <:)
