Futurism ☛ Teslas Can Be Stolen by Hijacking WiFi at Charging Stations, Researchers Find
Researchers have found that hackers could easily hijack WiFi networks at Tesla charging stations to steal vehicles — a glaring cybersecurity vulnerability that only requires an affordable, off-the-shelf tool.
As Mysk Inc. security researchers Tommy Mysk and Talal Haj Bakry demonstrated in a recent YouTube video — as first reported spotted by Gizmodo — hackers only need a simple $169 hacking tool called Flipper Zero, a Raspberry Pi, or a laptop to pull it off.

Arduino ☛ Getting more realistic camera movements in VR with an Arduino
The project began as a salvaged Panasonic MS70 VHS camcorder thanks to its spacious interior and easily adjustable wiring. An Arduino UNO Rev3 was then connected to the camera’s start/stop recording button as well as an indicator light and a potentiometer for changing the in-game focus. The UNO is responsible for reading the inputs and writing the data to USB serial so that a Unity plugin can apply the correct effects. Van Seeters even included a two-position switch for selecting between wide and telescopic fields of view.
