High-speed USB 2.0 hubs contain devices called transaction translators that convert between high-speed USB 2.0 buses and full and low speed buses. There may be one translator per hub or per port. Because there are two separate controllers in each USB 3.0 host, USB 3.0 devices transmit and receive at USB 3.0 signaling rates regardless of USB 2.0 ...
A USB device firmware hack called BadUSB was presented at the Black Hat USA 2014 conference, [15] demonstrating how a USB flash drive microcontroller can be reprogrammed to spoof various other device types to take control of a computer, exfiltrate data, or spy on the user.
A live USB is a portable USB-attached external data storage device containing a full operating system that can be booted from. The term is reminiscent of USB flash drives but may encompass an external hard disk drive or solid-state drive , though they may be referred to as "live HDD" and "live SSD" respectively.
A USB device pulls one of the data lines high with a 1.5 kΩ resistor. This overpowers one of the 15 kΩ pull-down resistors in the host and leaves the data lines in an idle state called J. For USB 1.x, the choice of data line indicates what signal rates the device is capable of: full-bandwidth devices pull D+ high,
As of mid-2005, [needs update] this was an expensive alternative to standard password protection offered on many new USB flash storage devices. Most fingerprint scanning drives rely upon the host operating system to validate the fingerprint via a software driver, often restricting the drive to Microsoft Windows computers. However, there are USB ...
To allow for voltage drops, the voltage at the host port, hub port, and device are specified to be at least 4.75 V, 4.4 V, and 4.35 V respectively by USB 2.0 for low-power devices, [a] but must be at least 4.75 V at all locations for high-power [b] devices (however, high-power devices are required to operate as a low-powered device so that they ...
During the initial install process of Windows 95, it would attempt to automatically detect all devices installed in the system. Since full auto-detection of everything was a new process without full industry support, the detection process constantly wrote to a progress tracking log file during the detection process.
[393] [394] [395] As of 2015, Android has the largest installed base of all operating systems; [22] Since 2013, devices running it also sell more than Windows, iOS and Mac OS X devices combined. [396] According to StatCounter, which tracks only the use for browsing the web, Android is the most popular mobile operating system since August 2013 ...
