The Electronic Associates, Inc. Pace TR-10 general-purpose analog computer, introduced in 1959, used electrical components and circuits to provide solutions for mathematical equations. A mathematician, scientist, or engineer plugged modules into the TR-10, connected sections of the TR-10 with cables, and adjusted the parameter knobs at the top to represent a mathematical equation and its input parameters. The resulting voltages provided the solution to the equation. The TR-10 was capable of solving 10th order differential equations.
To provide a sense of life as an engineer before the digital age, here is an excerpt from the TR-10 manual:
------------------------------
New EAI computer puts the advantage of analog computation right at your desk. Accurate up to 0.1%, it is capable of performing the mathematical operations of summation, integration, sign changing, multiplication, division, and function generation; those operations required in the solution of most of your routine engineering problems. Differential equations, basic to most engineering problems, can now be solved with surprising rapidity. Even if you have never seen a computer before, you can learn to operate the TR-10 as easily as you learned to use a slide rule.
You simply turn a knob to feed in design parameters. The computer provides an instant-by-instant dynamic picture of the effect of each change. You can study relationships of heat, pressure, flow, vibration, torque or any other variable. And you can visually compare one with the other. This new insight into the behavior of differential equations helps you to arrive at solutions faster … easier.
Because of its unique portability, this compact computer can become your personal tool. Carried right to your desk, it can be used to solve your day-to-day problems, saving you time and eliminating the drudgery of repetitive hand calculations. By allowing you to spend more of your time on creative engineering, it can enhance your value as an engineer.

An observation from someone who is not an expert in cryptography: Cryptography is about converting order (a written or spoken message) to disorder (an encrypted communication with no clear patterns) and vice versa. Thus, I find it interesting that a number of tools for cryptography—especially prior to the digital age—have a physical order or pattern.
I requested that they send us some cards without the chip, but they never arrived. I'll call and bug them again, but in the mean time, I took the leather punch from my multi-tool and drilled the little sucker out. No more tracking or remotely stealing my credit card number!
Why bother?
Some quotes from Bruce Schneier's round-up on the subject:
Skimming RFID Credit Cards
It's easy to skim personal information off an RFID credit card.
From The New York Times:
They could skim and store the information from a card with a device the size of a couple of paperback books, which they cobbled together from readily available computer and radio components for $150. They say they could probably make another one even smaller and cheaper: about the size of a pack of gum for less than $50. And because the cards can be read even through a wallet or an item of clothing, the security of the information, the researchers say, is startlingly weak. 'Would you be comfortable wearing your name, your credit card number and your card expiration date on your T-shirt?' Mr. Heydt-Benjamin, a graduate student, asked.
And from The Register:
The attack uses off-the-shelf radio and card reader equipment that could cost as little as $150. Although the attack fails to yield verification codes normally needed to make online purchases, it would still be potentially possible for crooks to use the data to order goods and services from online stores that don't request this information.
Despite assurances by the issuing companies that data contained on RFID-based credit cards would be encrypted, the researchers found that the majority of cards they tested did not use encryption or other data protection technology.
And from the RFID Journal:
I don't think the exposing of potential vulnerabilities of these cards is a huge black eye for the credit-card industry or for the RFID industry. Millions of people won't suddenly have their credit-card numbers exposed to thieves the way they do when someone hacks a bank's database or an employee loses a laptop with the card numbers on it. But it is likely that these vulnerabilities will need to be addressed as the technology becomes more mature and criminals start figuring out ways to abuse it.

Vera Wilde, artist-in-residence at Hack42. Because Art & Science!
Hackerspace Hack42 is proudly hosting a new artist-in-residence. Dr. Vera K. Wilde (PhD PoliSci) is a (former) Harvard Kennedy School researcher. She is working on re-branding the Dark-Web to the EDTR-web, a place for Expressing, Dissenting, Teaching and Resisting.
The EDTR-web is using technologies like TOR and encrypted communications tools to create a place of freedom where centralised power cannot reach.
Vera will be using arts (oil painting and songwriting) as well as writing and political science methods to define and develop the EDTR-web as a social space and technological phenomenon.
This is our second photo-shoot together. We have great chemistry and it's loads of fun to shoot with her.
We got to play with a few props, listen to some music and experiment with light and posing.

Example of Locky ransomware.
Locky is ransomware malware released in 2016. It is delivered by email and after infection will encrypt all files that match particular extensions.
After encryption, a message (displayed on the user's desktop) instructs them to download the Tor browser and visit a specific criminal-operated Web site for further information.
The current version, released in December 2016, utilizes the .osiris extension for encrypted files.
Many different distribution methods for Locky have been used since the ransomware was released. These distribution methods include Word and Excel attachments with malicious macros,DOCM attachments and zipped JS Attachments.

System is no longer in service, and sets have been showing up on the surplus market for many years.
Electrospace sets are digital, and can't be plugged into a analog home line (they require their own proprietary digital switch). Most older first generation Western Electric Autovon sets are analog, and can be used as "home" phones without modification.

Provenance:
Notes: Inscription pasted in front of book "To William Bellows, Esq as a memento of the unveiling on 19 Oct 1925 of the tablet to Sir Charles Wheatstone, from his grandson Charles Wheatstone Salmi, Down End, Chilbolton, Hants". Sir Charles Wheatstone (6 February 1802 – 19 October 1875), was an English scientist and inventor of many scientific breakthroughs of the Victorian era, including the English concertina, the stereoscope (a device for displaying three-dimensional images), and the Playfair cipher (an encryption technique). However, Wheatstone is best known for his contributions in the development of the Wheatstone bridge, originally invented by Samuel Hunter Christie, which is used to measure an unknown electrical resistance, and as a major figure in the development of telegraphy.

Microchip announced the new 24-member PIC32MZ Embedded Connectivity (EC) family of 32-bit MCUs. It provides class-leading performance of 330 DMIPS and 3.28 CoreMarks™/MHz, along with dual-panel, live-update Flash (up to 2 MB), large RAM (512 KB) and the connectivity peripherals—including a 10/100 Ethernet MAC, Hi-Speed USB MAC/PHY (a first for PIC® MCUs) and dual CAN ports—needed to support today’s demanding applications. The PIC32MZ also has class-leading code density that is 30% better than competitors, along with a 28 Msps ADC that offers one of the best throughput rates for 32-bit MCUs. Rounding out this family’s high level of integration is a full-featured hardware crypto engine with a random number generator for high-throughput data encryption/decryption and authentication (e.g., AES, 3DES, SHA, MD5 and HMAC), as well as the first SQI interface on a Microchip MCU and the PIC32’s highest number of serial channels.
