Review & Teardown of a cheap GPS Jammer
phasenoise has posted his teardown of a cheap GPS Jammer. This GPS jammer generates a 1575.42 Mhz interference to prevent your GPS unit from receiving correct positioning signals. Generally, “jammers” — which are also commonly called signal blockers, GPS jammers, cell phone...

Teardown: 12V AC adapters
Michael Dunn has done three teardowns of the worst 12V adapters and what he found is interesting. Yes! Can you believe it? This board used to be in another adapter housing, or more likely, in an end-product. It seems Chinese manufacturing has sunk to a new low: repackaging used...
