Description

Fresh from vacation, Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams makes his triumphant return to the Hackaday Podcast! He's joined this week by Managing Editor Tom Nardi, who's just happy he didn't have to do the whole thing by himself again. In this episode we'll talk about tackling BGA components in your custom PCBs, a particularly well executed hack against Google's Nest Hub, and why you probably don't really want the world's cheapest 3D printer. We'll also take a look at an incredible project to turn the Nokia 1680 into a Linux-powered handheld computer, a first of its kind HDMI firewall, and a robot that's pretty good at making tacos. Listeners who are into artificial intelligence will be in for quite a treat as well, as is anyone who dreams of elevating the lowly automotive alternator to a more prominent position in the hacker world. By the way, it seems nobody has figured out the hidden message in last week's podcast yet. What are you waiting for? One of you out there has to be bored enough to give it a shot. Check out the links, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!
