Most pocket-sized printers are really shrunken versions of what you’d see on your desk. Rather boring, don’t you think? Zuta Labs’ upcoming Pocket Printer robot may liven things up a little. Instead of using an old-fashioned paper feed, it runs over the page laying grayscale ink. This Roomba-like approach isn’t just a party trick, though. Besides leading to a very portable design, it lets you print on any size page you like — if you need to get a legal form while you’re at the coffee shop, you can. Zuta Labs is crowdfunding the printer to get it off the ground. If you’re interested, you can pledge $180 to reserve an early bird unit; it will cost you $200 if you’re late to the party. The Pocket Printer won’t ship until January if it makes its funding target, but patience may be a virtue if you want a printer that doesn’t sit still.

This robot printer runs around the page laying down ink
itwbennett (1594911) writes “When Jose Vildoza’s father became the victim of ransomware, he launched his own investigation. Diving into CryptoDefense’s code, he found its developers had made a crucial mistake: CryptoDefense used Microsoft’s Data Protection API (application programming interface), a tool in the Windows operating system to encrypt a user’s data, which stored a copy of the encryption keys on the affected computer. Vildoza and researcher, Fabian Wosar of the Austrian security company Emsisoft, collaborated on a utility called the Emsisoft Decrypter that could recover the encrypted keys. In mid-March Vildoza had launched a blog chronicling his investigation, purposely not revealing the mistake CryptoDefense’s authors had made. But Symantec then published a blog post on March 31 detailing the error.” Read more of this story at Slashdot.
