Description
It's déjà vu all over again as Hackaday Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams gets together with Staff Writer Dan Maloney to look over the best hacks from the past week. If you've got a fear of giant cockroaches, don't worry; we'll only mention the regular ones when we talk about zapping them with lasers. What do you need to shrinkify an NES? Just a little sandpaper and a lot of finesse. Did you know that 3D scanning is (sort of) over a century old? Or that the first real microcomputer dates all the way back to 1972 -- and isn't one of those blinkenlight deals? And watch out for what you tell GPT-3 to ignore -- it might just take you very seriously. We'll touch on solar-powered cameras, a compressor of compressors, and talk about all the unusual places to find lithium batteries for your projects. It's an episode so good you might just want to listen to it twice! (In case you're wondering about all this "twice" stuff -- Elliot forgot to hit record on the first take and we had to do the entire podcast over again. Oh, the humanity!) Feast on the spicy show notes!
