### Google URL Removal and Laser Microphone Hacks

- **Episode:** [1188: Greta Doomberg](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1188-greta-doomberg.md)
- **Published:** 2019-11-10
- **Time:** 1:49:52–1:54:25
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1188-greta-doomberg/chapter/google-url-removal-and-laser-microphone-hacks.md

Google is experimenting with removing full URLs from search results to focus on keywords. Meanwhile, cybersecurity researchers have demonstrated a hack where a modulated laser can activate MEMS microphones in smart speakers like Alexa and Google Home. By pointing a laser at the device, attackers can issue silent voice commands, such as opening garage doors, from a distance.

### Audio Engineering and Portable Recording Equipment

- **Episode:** [58: Cork Grows on Trees](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/58-cork-grows-on-trees.md)
- **Published:** 2008-11-22
- **Time:** 17:50–21:31
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/58-cork-grows-on-trees/chapter/audio-engineering-and-portable-recording-equipment.md

Technical difficulties during the broadcast lead to a discussion about portable audio setups and radio frequency interference. The current rig involves a Heil PR40 dynamic microphone and an M-Audio Fast Track interface, which is criticized for poor shielding. The potential of Countryman MEMS microphones is explored as a high-quality, ultra-portable alternative for field recording.
