CD and DVD optical duplicators have been popular for years; however, with the disc drive no longer sold in computers, the only device left for moving files around are USB flash drives – well, most common device at least. With that in mind, let us provide a USB duplicator review and our observations about them. […]
Does the title of this article even make sense? Yes, but not to most. USB enumeration is the process a host computer goes through to identify the type of USB device connected and what the operating system should do with the newly detected device. Fingerprint would simply imply the different steps a computer operating system […]
These are 1450mAh batteries that are rechargeable via standard USB port. This is the better way digital devices should be designed. I am not a fan of, for example, my portable speaker going south because the device can no longer hold a charge. I’d much rather have my portable speaker take batteries which I can […]
For those into home-brew programming projects, its easy to make a microcontroller spit out some Morse code with the post shown below. What makes [pavlin’s] take on this project interesting is that it resides on a tiny USB board with an ARM processor. The design for the board is available with single-sided artwork suitable for […]
Infinite USB is a concept which dates back five years. The concept is brilliantly simple. The USB cable design allows multiple devices to be charge from an extending USB plug, and at the same time, allow data transfer through that one original USB port. Today, Infinite USB has released a new version for the Mac […]
Review: Nexcopy 3.0 USB Duplicator EverythingUSB posted a review of the Nexcopy 3.0 USB Duplicator with a bunch of “thumbs up” marks. Let’s take a closer look. Design and Build Quality As far as USB duplicators go, the Nexcopy SSUSB160PC is actually pretty stylish. Its form certainly flows from its function, but Nexcopy has made […]
USB 3.0 is gaining momentum with every new product launch, and millions of PCs and peripherals are expected to ship with the SuperSpeed interface this year. That makes the timing of the Nexcopy SSUSB160PC USB duplicator especially relevant, offering users a high-speed solution to manage modern peripherals without relying on slower legacy USB 2.0 systems. […]
Verbatim announced their 32GB flash drive today in the form of a USB dongle no larger than a nickel. There is no lanyard loop and it’s damn small, so will most likely get lost if you place it in your pocket – but that is all okay. It seems Verbatim is gunning for this product […]
About three weeks ago I started the process to design a USB power strip where the device would be a dumb down version of a USB hub…it only gives power. The reason why I wanted to design something like this was for the infinite number of USB items I have. Just in my house alone, […]
Do you have USB ports on your computer but for some reason the devices connected are not working? Or maybe your USB ports stop working after a long period of time? Don’t worry, the USB not working is [most likely] related to your computer configuration, not the ports malfunctioning. If our hunch is right, the […]
Here is another USB prototype design and it’s called the Infinite USB Plug. The pictures look great and the concept is clever, however it just doesn’t work. Never will. Designed by Gonglue Jiang, the Infinite USB Plug allows you to keep adding your peripherals without the need USB hubs or hot swapping your devices on […]
A child from Colorado is in critical condition after putting a USB cable into her mouth while the cable was still connected to a powered laptop. The child, Trinity, received sever 3rd degree burns to her tongue, mouth and lips. She is in critical condition because the tongue is swollen enough that it’s hard for […]
