[Samy Kamkar] is a hardware hacker extraordinaire. This week, he’s joining us on Hackaday.io for this week’s Hack Chat.
Every week, we find someone interesting that makes or breaks the electronic paraphernalia all around us. We sit them down, and get them to spill the beans on how this stuff works, and how we can get our tools and toys to work for everyone. This is the Hack Chat, and it’s happening this Friday, April 7, at noon PDT (20:0 UTC).
Over the years, [Samy] has demonstrated some incredible skills and brought us some incredible hacks. He defeated chip and pin security on a debit card with a coil of wire, exploited locked computers with a USB gadget, and has more skills than the entire DEF CON CFP review board combined. If you want to know about security, [Samy] is the guy you want to talk to.
Here’s How To Take Part:
Our Hack Chats are live community events on the Hackaday.io Hack Chat group messaging.
Log into Hackaday.io, visit that page, and look for the ‘Join this Project’ Button. Once you’re part of the project, the button will change to ‘Team Messaging’, which takes you directly to the Hack Chat.
You don’t have to wait until Friday; join whenever you want and you can see what the community is talking about.
Upcoming Hack Chats
We’ve got a lot on the table when it comes to our Hack Chats. On April 14th we’ll be talking custom silicon with SiFive and on April 21st, we’re going to be talking magnets with Nanomagnetics. Making magnets, collecting magnets, playing with magnets, it’ll all be over on the Hack Chat.
You need to mark that bitmap with “If this were a virus, you’d be dead by now. Fortunately, it’s not. How’s your security? Contact Samy Kamkar and Associates today!”
This is great, thanks Hackaday!
A link for automatic conversion to the reader’s local time (e.g. https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/create) would be nice to have for future announcements.
“Friday, April 7, at noon PDT (20:0 UTC)” might be unclear for newcomers, because 12:00 PDT is 19:00 UTC and 20:00 London time according to https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/.

EPIC FAIL HaD. Hackaday.io has far too much required scripting to access the content and the “Join” requirement is obtrusive for downloading Hack Chat content after the fact. Strip this bloat out of the Hackaday.io site and I might consume your content.
