Tom Bodrovics welcomes Tony Anscombe, ESET Chief Security Evangelist, to discuss cybersecurity in the mining sector. With over three decades in IT and cybersecurity, Anscombe stresses that security fundamentals remain crucial despite technological advancements. He highlights vulnerabilities from remote locations, outdated technology, third parties, and activists/nation states. Mining companies face significant risks, including potential for fatalities and financial losses. A comprehensive cybersecurity framework is necessary, along with advanced technologies like EDR systems. The financial cost of cyber attacks can reach $14 trillion by 2027, affecting industries, including mining. Companies must prioritize cybersecurity and involve third parties to adhere to security policies. Anscombe also touches on the ethical implications and potential international collaboration in AI development.

How can we make the online world safer for our kids and families? This episode, we learn how to strike a harmonious balance of online privacy and security with founder of the Family Online Safety Institute, Stephen Balkham. Tune in to hear his top tips for keeping our kids and families digital lives safe.

On this week's show we take a look at some audiophile myths and debunk them. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: LG Debuts Wireless Dolby Soundbar For G4 OLED evo TVs Have You Signed Up for a Streamer to Watch a Specific Show? DirecTV Drops Local Stations From Lower-Priced Bundle CSA unveils smart home security standard ESPN Signs Six-Year, $7.8 Billion Extension for the Expanding College Football Playoff Tournament Other: TV Station Launches Multiple 4K Broadcasts OTA on ATSC 1.0 Audiophile Myths Why do some in our hobby spend so much money on their gear? And for this discussion we are not talking about reasonably priced quality products that can cost a few thousand dollars. We're talking about really expensive stuff like speakers that cost $20,000 each, speaker wire that costs $100 a foot, or any other product that needlessly separates you from your money all in the name of squeezing out the last bit of performance.  On today's show we will dispel a few Audiophile Myths and hopefully save you money and help you get more out of the equipment you own. Myth: Even though people cannot hear frequencies above 20 KHz, it is important that audio equipment be able to reproduce higher frequencies to maintain clarity. Fact: Producing sounds at a frequency beyond what humans can hear is not sonically useful. However, a good amplifier and speaker generally have a frequency response beyond the limits of hearing.  Conversely, the lack of an extended response can indicate that the amplifier designers cut some corners. Keep in mind you don't have to pay a lot of money for this. A Fosi amp goes for $100 and produces frequencies from 20Hz to 20kHz.  Myth: Gold-plated connectors sound better than connectors made of standard materials (Copper, Nickel. Or Tin). Fact: Gold does not oxidize, and oxidized connectors can cause problems. With that said, gold on it's own will not make your audio better. As far as oxidation goes, good quality wire and connectors will take years to oxidize under normal circumstances. Don't waste money on gold plated when copper will do the exact same thing! Myth: Speakers Need Time to Break In   Fact: I used to believe this based on my own listening. But there was no way for me to actually remember what my speakers sounded like from day one to compare them with day five after 30 hours of use. It wasn't until I saw objective tests performed on speakers when they were new and again when they were used for 30 hours. The wave forms were sonically identical. Conclusive scientific results. End of story!   Now some bigger drivers like woofers and subwoofers use spiders as stiffening agents instead of thicker, more rigid materials in their production. These do lose stiffness in their suspension with use, but it usually happens within minutes — not hours or days.  Myth: All acoustic treatments will improve the sound. Fact: You can't throw up acoustic treatments just anywhere and expect an improvement in sound. Acoustic treatments are made to address specific problems. With that said, if you have a room with bare walls and wood or tile floors, get soft materials on the walls and rugs on the floor. In this case dampening the echos will help. But to do a full treatment you need to be more exact,  Here is a list of articles from Audioholics that can help you treat your room. “Room Reflections and Human Adaptation for Small Room Acoustics,” “Early Reflections and Bass for Small Room Acoustics,” and “Early Reflections in Home Theater Rooms: Beneficial or Detrimental?”  Myth: Speakers need to be isolated to get the most out of them.  Fact: Well designed loudspeakers don't transmit much mechanical energy through their enclosures. Loudspeakers are transmitting most of their energy into the air which then exerts force on objects in the room. You are likely getting more vibrations from pressure waves hitting other objects in the room as opposed to the cabinet vibrating.   In my room I have played some of my speakers at very loud volumes. I then touched the drivers on the speakers that were adjacent and there was some movement. I'm not sure that they did anything to distort the sound in the room, but they were vibrating more than the cabinets of the speaker that I was using. There may be some aesthetic reasons you may want to isolate your speakers including pads to protect your floor. Myth: All your speaker wire should be the same length. Fact: Speed of electricity is 186,000 miles a second. That means that a 5 meter and 10 meter cable have statistically no difference as to when the signal gets to the drivers. But using similar length speaker wire will increase the resale value of your speakers should you choose to sell them! Myth: You need to break in your speaker wire. Fact: Yes!! Do not drive them past 10 for the first 12,000 miles. After that if your amp goes to 11, have at it!!  Seriously, when it comes to speaker wire buy high quality wire. Just don't pay exorbitant prices. Solid copper 14 Gauge speaker wire should not cost you more than  $25 for fifty feet. If you are doing short runs (less than ten feet) you can use higher gauge wire and save some copper both figuratively and literally!! Well provided you are paying in coins anyway.

Episode 60: Traditionalisten mit Häusern auf dem Kopf, 110 Jahre alte Italienerinnen mit elektrischen Handpflügen und Marshall Mathers aka M&M. Ein bunter Strauss aus den allerwichtigsten Themen der Woche - und die Antwort auf die Frage: Was passiert, wenn man vor dem Podcast je zwei Kaffees in 10min runterstürzt und dann den grausligsten Energy Drink der Welt verkostet. Bei solcher Kost bleiben die Geschmacksknopsen verwirrt, misshandelt und verkostet zurück. Auch finanziell, uff, 1.50 Franken für eine Dose Herzrasen?! Da hat man sich ganz schön... verkostet. Ausserdem ist immer Skepsis angebracht, wenn irgendwo THE WHITE EDITION draufsteht. Jane nippt kurz davon und hat genug, Renato leert die Dose ganz katholisch und die Selbskasteiung folgt als (gasförmiger) Gruss aus Kokos-Heidelbeer-Sonnencrème-Gummibärchen-Verdauung. Zum Glück sind Podcasts (BIS JETZT) ein auditives Medium. Alles andere ist alles andere als mittel, medium rare, nie blutleer, stets gehaltvoll - auch die philosophische Abhandlung über Rülpsen und Furzen artet in feministische Theorie aus. Jane erzählt, wie ungern sie in den Ferien schläft wegen FOMO, bzw. FOSI (fear of sleeping in) und altert live am Mikrophon in 10 Sekunden um 10 Jahre. Lieber ausschlafen als einschlafen, findet Renato und gemeinsam ballern sie koffeinwütig durch die Themen, die die Welt bewegen: Den Kanton Nidwalden, 81-jährige Schnäbiwitzconnaisseur*innen, 21-jährige Freikirchler*innen, aussterbende Vereine, Selbstzensur, SRF und den bemerkenswerten Garantie-Fetisch unserer Gesellschaft. Endgültig ausrasten tun sie aber er, wenn es um die unheiligste aller Whatsapp-Fragen geht, nämlich: „Häsch am [Datum einfügen] scho öppis vor?“ ohne Angabe weiterer Infos. Das fragen nur abgrundtief schlechte Menschen. Savage.
P.S.: Habt Ihr am 9. April schon was vor?

The GuardianGamer Podcast Episode 5: How Gaming Shapes Modern Parenting: An interview with Lorrie, parent of a 7th Grader. Producer: Sarah Lai Stirland Engineer: Gabe Grabin On the GuardianGamer platform we prioritize the parent first, because of their lack of solutions to increase their engagement and need for more visibility. Recent research by FOSI shows that parents in the US monitor their kids' online activities for 11 hours per week already. When our Founder Heidi herself was looking for a solution in the market when her son was starting to game more, her family couldn't find solutions beyond surveillance. She wanted to guide and help her son sometimes but the systems they already had in place to limit online time, could not provide me with any insight into what was going on in the games. Her family then started to invest time experiencing the parent journey from being reluctant to becoming a game positive parent. We talked a lot about the gaming. Since she is an engineer, and built platforms and technology for a variety of complex problems in my other companies, she was and still am determined to design and build the right tools to help other families. INTRO: You're listening to the GuardianGamer podcast. GuardianGamer is a new service that offers kids the age of seven and up mentorship and a safe space to play video games. I'm Sarah Lai Stirland. I'm a co-host of this podcast. We've talked a lot about what happens within online video games in past episodes. But what about how games affect kids and families in the quote-unquote offline world? That's what we explore in this episode. I'm talking with Lorrie this week. She's the mother of a 7th grade boy who loves playing Fortnite and Minecraft. Video games were affecting Lorrie's son starting around Fifth Grade — even when he wasn't playing them. As you'll hear, her son wasn't allowed to play Fortnite back then. But after he complained that he felt left out at school because everyone else was playing, Lorrie relented. Then the pandemic hit. As for many of us, games became the safe place for her son to carry on his social life. As parents, we all worry about the impact of video games on our kids' health. That's why we thought it would be great to kick off a conversation about the subject with Lorrie, a parent of a son who has an avid interest in video games. Lorrie talks about how she manages manages that interest. She also talks about how gaming has affected his perception of the world. We thought it would be interesting for parents to compare notes.

This week we take an extended look at an email from Chris who is paying for two sports packages but still can't watch all his team's games. Is there a VPN solution? Did you know you can get Sunday Ticket from DirecTV without a Satellite? There are some limitations but we have the info. Finally we have a brief review of two portable amplifiers from Fosi Audio that pack a huge punch. All that plus your emails and the week's news!

Your show on 9/16 talked about Sling Box and VPNs.   I don't mind paying for a service but when you are paying (sometimes multiple times), it is frustrating to not get what you pay for. (((Ara, you'd appreciate this-I am a Washington Capitals fan.  I pay for the NHL Network, I subscribe to the ESPN+, and when I go to a youth hockey tournament, I cannot use my Roku in the hotel to watch a Caps game that night because it's on the NHL Network...which I pay for back home!))) There are alot of YouTube videos about VPNs but a simple questions is: what is the best way to use my laptop in Central NC and make it think I am in Central PA?  Xfinity will only let you watch certain "To Go" channels if you are on your home wifi.  NHL Network is one of them.  I can record the event but then only watch it after it completes the recording.

Fosi Audio Digital Amplifies  I was looking for a new amplifier to test my speakers more in different rooms of my house. So the amp needed to be small, high quality, and inexpensive. My searching around the internet landed me on Fosi. A company I had never heard of. From the company's web site: Audio equipment company with a focus on HiFi sound Fosi Audio was founded in 2017 by a team of engineers and music lovers with the objective of delivering high-quality audio products. After years of research and development, we have mastered the art of miniaturizing HiFi sound and bringing it to any space, big or small. Fosi Audio's range of products includes speakers, amplifiers, headphones, turntables, and other hi-end audio equipment. Our goal is to make audiophile-grade sound accessible to everyone and to further the advancement of music technology. I first bought the BT20A ($75 direct from Fosi) which sounded really good.  Features: Frequency Range: 20Hz - 20kHz (±1 dB) Output power: 100W + 100W Input mode: Bluetooth and Analog Bluetooth 5.0 core, up to 33ft connection range Size Product Size: 130 x 100 x 35mm (5.1 x 3.9 x 1.4 inches) Product Weight: 700g (1.5 lbs) The device worked great and connected instantly.The sound was quite good and would work for any desktop or temporary use outdoors. This was just the thing I needed for verifying that any speaker I build passes audio. But being so impressed with how good they sounded without Hi-Res or even AptX I looked into their higher quality amp, the  DA2120C ($160 direct from Fosi)  The 2120 is far more capable but only 80W a channel, which is imperceptible even at max volume. It takes twice the wattage to hear 3dB difference at the ear.  Features: Frequency Range: 20Hz - 20kHz (±1 dB) Size: 180 x 130 x38mm (7x5x1.5 inches) USB Chip: Cmedia CM6642 SUPPORT 24bit/192Khz Bluetooth Chip: Qualcomm QCC3031 Bluetooth 5.0 chip supports aptX, aptX-HD, SBC, AAC Output Power: 2 × 80W at 10% THD+N Into 8 Ω The main reason I decided to upgrade is that I want to put the highest quality audio through my speakers to determine their quality. The 2120 gives me a lot of connection options, Bluetooth, USB, optical, coaxial, and RCA. There is also a remote that you can use to select the inputs, switch modes, adjust the volume, bass, treble and EQ to dial in your sound. The sound was outstanding. Listening to my favorites sounded as good as they did when using my SVS amp. Deep tight bass and bright highs. I find my latest speakers are a bit brighter than my typical JBL 2500 makeover. That is due to the fact that I ended up using a Dayton Audio 1 inch Titanium tweeter instead of the ones that come with the 2500. There is a video that goes along with this on our Youtube channel but we'll link it here as well.  In my comparison of 24bit 192Khz audio vs what was being sent via AptX Bluetooth, I couldn't hear a difference. As much as I tried I just couldn't. It could be my ears, the speakers, or even the recording. But it did sound really good. So good that it may replace my SVS amp as my main amp for my office.  If you are looking for a small portable amp check out the Fosi Audio BT20A and the DA2120C you will thank me! For our listeners who listen to the end of the show. We are giving away the BT20A. Send an email to htguys@htguys.com with Bluetooth Amp in the subject line. We'll pick a winner at random and announce it on next week's show. We won't mention this anywhere else so entries will be small.  Contest open to anyone with a US mailing address. Entries must be received by Wed October 28th at Noon Pacific Time. Void where prohibited.
