Tracking Eyes In Public

A camera that notices you, zooms in, and follows sounds like a neat feature until that feed is viewable on the open internet with zero friction. We dig into AI-enabled PTZ systems, why they transform surveillance from passive recording into active selection, and how a single misconfiguration can turn a powerful tool into a public broadcast. Pulling from reporting by 404 Media and Ben Jordan, we connect the dots between “debug” interfaces, Shodan indexing, and real-world harms that scale with ease of

The music keeps playing, but winter is trying its best to silence it. We pull back the curtain on how ice sabotages broadcast antennas and what it takes to keep a reliable signal alive through freezing rain, rime, and brutal wind. From wet-ice detuning that spikes reflected power to the jaw-dropping structural load of a tower turned into a frozen sail, this is the real story of staying on the air when the weather turns hostile.

The ground under broadcast distribution is moving, and the question isn’t whether C-band was reliable—it’s how we keep that reliability as the FCC clears and auctions more of it. We dive into the real tradeoffs facing stations of every size, from small-market radio shops without diverse fiber routes to major TV groups juggling national feeds. Along the way, we unpack why C-band earned its reputation, where Ku-band helps and hurts, and how to design delivery paths that survive storms, backhoes, and

From Crackle To Clarity: The Rise And Fall Of AM Stereo

Forget the crackle. We dive into the secret life of AM stereo—the late-night rabbit hole that led us from a Wyoming station’s YouTube clip to the engineering that once promised FM-grade sound on an “old” band. We break down AM versus FM in plain terms, then follow the 1970s and 80s race among Motorola, Magnavox, Harris, and Khan to deliver true stereo on AM without abandoning listeners with mono radios. The result is a story of elegant design, messy standards, and a pivotal FCC misstep that left

Why Satellite Radio Sounds Mushy

Ever switch sources in your car and feel the sound collapse as soon as you tap over to satellite? We pull back the curtain on why Sirius XM can feel flat and “blanketed,” tracing the problem to low bitrates, legacy codecs, and a hard ceiling on satellite bandwidth that forces tough choices. You’ll hear clear comparisons—48 kbps music channels and even lower talk channels versus 320 kbps streaming and lossless options—and what those numbers mean for stereo width, transient detail, and vocal cl...

The Box Music Network was the interactive TV channel that let viewers pick the music videos — years before YouTube and streaming. Launched in Miami in 1985, The Box gave communities real control over what played next, from underground hip-hop to banned Madonna videos. By the mid-1990s it was reaching 30 million homes and even beating MTV in viewership. So why did MTV buy it in 1999 and shut it down?
