How Games (and chore apps) keep you on longer and coming back regularly
This talk will be a quick look into the methods of psychological manipulation that games and chore apps use make your sessions with them longer and get you to come back regulary.
Ever wondered why you just can't put your game down, even though you know you should already be sleeping?
Were you terrible at learning languages in school but suddenly excel at it using Duolingo?
The reasons for both are probably the same.
I will to go into the manipulation strategies that games and chore apps alike utilise and compare them to user hostile design patterns, that I have already talked about in the past.
This talk will not tell you how to feel about these tricks, but it will hopefully provide you with the knowledge you need to detect them and make more conscious decisions on if you want to let them work on you.

TLS (the security layer behind HTTPS) and Tor onion services (anonymously hosted TCP services) are both excellent protocols. Wouldn't it be nice if we could use them together? In this talk, I'll cover a working implementation of combining TLS with onion services, without compromising on the security properties that each provides.

Mit einem einzelnen µ-Controller lässt sich kein 32-stimmig polyphoner Synthesizer bauen? Doch, mit gewissen Abtrichen beim Klang schon. Konkret: Per USB an einen Rechner angeschlossen zeigt sich mein RP2040-Pico-basierter Synth als MIDI-Gerät, das zwar nur simple Rechteckschwingungen erzeugt, davon aber für einen µ-Controller ziemlich viele. Bei vollorchestrierten MIDI-Dateien klingt der resultierende Chiptune-artige Sound gar nicht 'mal so verkehrt. Im Vortrag werde ich u.a. darauf ...

The ESP32 is a low-cost microcontroller with Wi-Fi connectivity. Currently, the Wi-Fi MAC layer of the ESP32 is closed-source. This project aims to change that: by reverse engineering the hardware registers and software, we can build a networking stack that is open-source up to the hardware, instead of having to use the proprietary Wi-Fi binary blobs. This will improve security auditability, open up the possibility for features not supported in the proprietary implementation (for example, ...

In diesem Vortrag geht es in die spannende Welt der Pilze – einer faszinierenden Lebensform, über die wir doch viel zu wenig wissen. Von Pilzen, die größer als ein Wal sind, über sich bewegende Schleimpilze bis hin zu Pilzen, die im Dunkeln leuchten. Haltet euch fest, es wird spannend. Gehalten von Fabian vom Wildschytz.

Nowadays, many websites rely on user-generated content, e.g., by allowing users to upload images, videos, documents, or other files. If not handled carefully, Unrestricted File Uploads (UFUs) may appear and become a serious security issue. Our academic results show that some UFU types still fly under the state-of-the-art vulnerability scanners' radars, leaving websites at risk of severe vulnerabilities, such as Remote Code Execution or Cross-Site Scripting. Thus, we propose a File Upload ...

Hörgeräte bringen Lebensqualität zurück. Ich habe relativ jung festgestellt, dass ich nicht gut höre, es aber lange hinausgezögert mich drum zu kümmern. Jetzt habe ich seit 3 Jahren ein Paar Hörgeräte und bereue es, dass ich mich nicht schon früher darum gekümmert habe. Ich möchte von meinen Erfahrungen berichten und jeden ermutigen, zumindest mal einen Hörtest zu machen, und keine Angst davor zu haben Hörgeräteträger zu werden: Hörgeräte sind ein cooles Stück Technik!
