Tucker Shannon built a tiny 1.14-inch secondary display using an ESP32 microcontroller board, allowing for unique projects like playing Crysis on it. The display, based on the TENSTAR T-Display ESP32-D0WD, has a resolution of 135 x 240 pixels and is powered by an integrated ST7789 LCD screen. Shannon's setup streams video frames over Wi-Fi to achieve up to 60FPS for static screens but drops to around 5FPS for more dynamic content. The project serves as a demonstration of what can be achieved with limited resources and clever coding, offering potential applications in remote monitoring dashboards, IoT, and learning about ESP32 and Wi-Fi streaming. Shannon's code and instructions for building a similar display are available on GitHub.

Effective Defense Against Hacks at the Edge

To effectively defend against hacks at the edge in IoT systems, a multi-dimensional post-quantum approach is necessary, including secure boot, secure TLS, and protection against physical attacks through side-channels. PQShield has introduced MicroCore IP to address IoT security challenges with minimal resources, offering PQC in under 5KB of SRAM. Post-quantum cryptography is crucial as quantum computers could potentially break classical encryption within the next 10 years, posing challenges for long-term product security. Additionally, ensuring secure communication through TLS and defending against side-channel attacks are essential for protecting edge devices in industrial IoT applications. PQShield provides solutions for seamless migration to PQC secure systems and defense against side-channel attacks.

What’s in a name? Moderna’s “vaccine” vs. “therapy” dilemma

Moderna is facing a dilemma over whether to call its cancer treatment a "vaccine" or a "therapy" to distance itself from vaccine skepticism. The company's mRNA technology is being used in partnership with Merck to develop individualized neoantigen therapy for cancer treatment. Despite the promising results, some are concerned that patients may be misled by the terminology change. Moderna's strategy to rebrand its cancer treatment may be a response to government scrutiny over its mRNA vaccines. The debate over terminology reflects the broader challenges in navigating public perception and regulatory hurdles in the biotech industry.
