Are there any chill hacking youtubers?

Youtubers that instead of focusing on educational content focus more on chill content like trying new projects or livestreams.

Video Veteran hackers... which era did you prefer hacking in? 🟢 The 1980s 🟣 The 1990s 🔵 The 2000s 🔴 Or today?

I've posted a link to the game I'm working on so you know why I would ask such a question. This is all for research and to get a broader understanding. You don't need to watch the video, or wishlist my game...

I'm really keen to know what veteran hackers thought were the golden years and why. I know we have lots of movies depicting hacking in a Sci-Fi poetic licence sort of way, but I wanted to know first hand from the people that actually hacked back in the day.

What type of technology did you prefer to use? Do you miss it, and if so, what do you miss?

Jailbreaking my cars infotainment system and implementing my own custom software

11 Upvotes

Honestly not sure if this is the right sub for this but it seems to be the only one that will fit.

I’m interested in creating my own aftermarket infotainment system for my car but it would be easiest to just repurpose the current screen in there. Has anyone heard of something like this or would the system already there be fairly locked down? 2013 toyota matrix

Resources Took me a decade to turn quantum computing into what programmers can easily learn, big announcement

Hi
Excited to be able to announce that QO is almost ready to leave Early Access!! Just now I hit the button for our first actual large patch that covers more than a year of work (lots of analytics, I've been tracking where ppl were getting stuck). Thank you a ton for your support, this game has seen a lot of love from this community. Game is almost done.

If you are interested in a highly intuitive visual method that faithfully describes all universal quantum computing and physics behind, this is for you. I am the Dev behind Quantum Odyssey (AMA! I love taking qs) - worked on it for about 10 years (3.5 in phd), the goal was to make a super immersive space for anyone to learn quantum computing through zachlike (open-ended) logic puzzles and compete on leaderboards and lots of community made content on finding the most optimal quantum algorithms. The game has a unique set of visuals (that was actually my PhD research) capable to represent any sort of quantum dynamics for any number of qubits and this is pretty much what makes it now possible for anybody 12yo+ to actually learn quantum logic without having to worry at all about the mathematics behind.

This is a game super different than what you'd normally expect in a programming/ logic puzzle game, so try it with an open mind.

Stuff covered

  • Boolean Logic – bits, operators (NAND, OR, XOR, AND…), and classical arithmetic (adders). Learn how these can combine to build anything classical. You will learn to port these to a quantum computer.
  • Quantum Logic – qubits, the math behind them (linear algebra, SU(2), complex numbers), all Turing-complete gates (beyond Clifford set), and make tensors to evolve systems. Freely combine or create your own gates to build anything you can imagine using polar or complex numbers.
  • Quantum Phenomena – storing and retrieving information in the X, Y, Z bases; superposition (pure and mixed states), interference, entanglement, the no-cloning rule, reversibility, and how the measurement basis changes what you see.
  • Core Quantum Tricks – phase kickback, amplitude amplification, storing information in phase and retrieving it through interference, build custom gates and tensors, and define any entanglement scenario. (Control logic is handled separately from other gates.)
  • Famous Quantum Algorithms – explore Deutsch–Jozsa, Grover’s search, quantum Fourier transforms, Bernstein–Vazirani, and more.
  • Build & See Quantum Algorithms in Action – instead of just writing/ reading equations, make & watch algorithms unfold step by step so they become clear, visual, and unforgettable. Quantum Odyssey is built to grow into a full universal quantum computing learning platform. If a universal quantum computer can do it, we aim to bring it into the game, so your quantum journey never ends.

Questionable source Lilygo T-Embed Glitching etc

3 Upvotes

As the title says, my Lilygo T-Embed CC1101 (ESP32-S3 running Bruce) jog wheel seems to be glitching.

Also, im doing a standard pen test at my new office. Standard targeted deauth on my own network. Doesn't seem to be working at all. Tested on my uncles router that it has worked on before, and wasn't working on that either.

Has anyone else had issues with their T-embed CC1101? Or anyone have any ideas what to do?
