We really enjoyed this video from the BBC Archive about the microphones he BBC employed in the earliest broadcasts.

Mr Snagge recalls the bulky ‘meat safe’ microphones […]

Version control for 3D models has always been awkward, since a diff of two binary STLs tells you nothing useful. Meshdiff is a free browser-based tool that does the job properly, comparing two versions of a model and showing added material, removed material, and dimensional drift using voxel and surface-heatmap diffing. It handles STL, 3MF, […]

Matt Beton trained a tiny Mamba-based autoregressive language model and wrote an inference engine to run it on the 8-bit 6502 processor (from 1975, with 32KB RAM). The MOS 6502 is an 8-bit microprocessor released in 1975, powering the BBC Micro and the Apple II. I am lucky enough to have access to my dad’s […]

A nice hands-on hardware hacking write-up making the rounds on Hacker News. The author picked up a bottom-of-the-line $10 TP-Link TL-841N (EU) off Facebook Marketplace specifically to practice the full end-to-end process of tearing into an IoT device: locating the UART, getting a root shell, and extracting firmware. The interesting part is that the firmware […]
