A terület egyszerre szól elektronikáról, rádiófrekvenciás technikáról, antennákról, analóg és digitális kommunikációról és kísérletezésről – ezért sok ponton kapcsolódik az etikus hackelés világához is. Az előadásban szó lesz a vezeték nélküli kommunikáció alapjairól: modulációkról, protokollokról, digitális módokról, elérhető ingyenes szoftverekről, valamint arról, hogyan is vágjunk bele a rádiózásba és egy RF szignál azonosításába. Mindezt olcsón beszerezhető eszközök használatával. Az előadás végére remélhetőleg felismerésre kerül, hogy a rádiózás etikus hacker szemmel kiváló terep RF-biztonsági kutatásokhoz, SDR-es elemzésekhez és legális, kontrollált kísérletezéshez. Az előadásra hozunk egy csomó RF-fel működő kütyüt, ha van otthon elfekvőben régi kocsikulcs, távnyitó, elemes távirányítható játék, Flipper Zero vagy hasonló, hozd el és nézzük meg, mit tudunk kezdeni velük.

There’s something special about a Saturday morning that begins slowly - with movement, music, and a shared meal. This Yoga & Brunch experience is an invitation to pause, reconnect, and step out of the usual rhythm of the week. Join us for a morning of 🧘‍♀️ Flow yoga 🎶 Live handpan music 🥣 Vegan brunch ✨ A calm, inspiring space in the heart of the city We begin with a 75-minute Flow yoga practice, guided by Ivett and accompanied by Richárd’s live handpan music. In this gentle, continuous flow, the breath leads the movement — creating a natural rhythm where the practice becomes a moving meditation. Ivett has been practicing yoga for over ten years, with a background in contemporary dance. In her classes, the connection between breath and movement is at the heart of the experience. “For me, yoga is not just physical exercise — it’s a path back to myself.” Richárd’s music responds to the rhythm of the practice, shaping a soft, immersive atmosphere. “My relationship with music is born from presence: from an inner silence that slowly takes shape as outer sounds. For me, this is a co-creation. The intensity of the asanas shapes my playing, while the sounds in turn influence the space and its atmosphere. I’m happy we can experience this together.” Brunch after the practice After the class, from 11:15, we gather for a nourishing brunch by Smoothie Sanctuary. You can choose from freshly prepared shots, juices, smoothies or smoothie bowls made from premium ingredients. Participation fee 12,000 HUF / person ✨ Ticket for two available Join with a friend, partner, or someone you’d like to share this experience with - select the 2-person option during booking 20,000 HUF / 2 people (instead of 24,000 HUF) Registration Spaces are limited, therefore advance booking is required. Please reserve your spot through the link provided in the event. 🗓 Registration deadline: May 27 --- Van valami különleges abban, amikor egy szombat reggel lassan indul - mozgással, zenével és egy közös étkezéssel. A Yoga & Brunch esemény egy meghívás arra, hogy kiszakadj a hétköznapok ritmusából, lelassulj, és újra kapcsolódj önmagaddal. Csatlakozz hozzánk egy ilyen reggelre: 🧘‍♀️ flow jóga 🎶 élő handpan zene 🥣 vegán brunch ✨ nyugodt, inspiráló tér a város szívében A reggel egy 75 perces Flow jógaórával indul, amelyet Ivett vezet, Richárd élő handpan játékával kísérve. A lágy, folyamatos áramlásban a légzés vezeti a mozdulatokat, így a gyakorlás szinte mozgásos meditációvá válik. Ivett több mint tíz éve gyakorolja a jógát, modern-kortárs táncos háttérrel. Az óráin a légzés és a mozgás összekapcsolása áll a középpontban. „Számomra a jóga nem csupán testmozgás — hanem egy út vissza önmagamhoz.” Richárd játéka a gyakorlás ritmusára reagálva teremti meg a tér hangulatát. „A zenével való kapcsolatom a jelenlétből születik: egy belső csendből, ami lassan külső hangokká formálódik. Ez számomra egy közös alkotás. Az ászanák intenzitása alakítja a játékomat, a hangok pedig vissza hatnak a térre és a hangulatra. Örülök, hogy ezt most együtt élhetjük meg.” Brunch a gyakorlás után A jógaóra után, 11:15-től közösen folytatjuk a délelőttöt egy tápláló brunch-al a Smoothie Sanctuary jóvoltából. Frissen, prémium alapanyagokból készült shotok, juice-ok, smoothie-k vagy smoothie bowlok közül választhatsz. Részvételi díj 12.000 Ft / fő ✨ Páros jegy elérhető Érkezz baráttal, pároddal vagy valakivel, akivel megosztanád ezt az élményt - foglaláskor válaszd a 2 fős opciót 20.000 Ft / 2 fő (24.000 Ft helyett) Jelentkezés A helyek száma korlátozott, ezért előzetes foglalás szükséges. Foglalás az eseményben található linken keresztül. 🗓 Jelentkezési határidő: május 27

This is the 50th Anniversary of the Judgment of Paris. Significantly, in 1976, California wines unexpectedly outperformed French wines in a blind tasting with nine French judges, challenging the perception that only French wines were of the highest quality. This event helped elevate the status of California wines on the global stage and is considered a pivotal moment in wine history. House Wine, in Worthington, modestly, recreates that moment in history with a tasting both American and French wines in a fun, casual atmosphere. Come at 6:45, pay your fee at the register and join your friends for this "Judgey" tasting. https://www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/wine/the-judgment-of-paris-turns-40/ Arrive when you can and we'll have a table for gathering. Feel free to bring your own food as it is welcomed at this local gem or order from the newly opened Worthington Inn, or local favorites such as Dewey's, Everest, Jet, Worthington Tavern and The Whitney. Each person pays their tasting fee, typically $15, and gets their wine glass, then approximately five pours of the wines being served. **Parking is tough**. Try the second lot behind House Wine accessed by the land by the back parking lot or the municipal lot one block north of House Wine. **Waiver and Liability and Attendance Policy.** Participation by you and your guests means you agree to the Waiver of Liability and Attendance Policies on our Group Page.
