These tacky men with ridiculous glasses want you to wear them too ⁄ Manual do Usuário

Since miniaturization hasn’t advanced far enough to hide chips and batteries inside normal-looking frames, all of them have those thick rims. They bring to mind the late Shelley Berman’s glasses as Larry David’s father in Curb your enthusiasm.

Hacking a weird TV censoring device - YouTube

Sat, 29 Nov 2025 05:22:16 +0000

This video details the meticulous process of reverse-engineering a TV Guardian, a device designed to censor offensive language. The creator analyzes the circuit board, identifying key components and their functions. Data extraction from the ROM chip is achieved using an Arduino and careful manipulation of SPI signals.

Hacking A Pill Camera | Hackaday

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 19:38:25 +0000

[Aaron’s] first video involves a simple teardown of the camera. The small plastic pill is a marvel of miniaturization. Through the hemispherical transparent lens, we can see a tiny camera and LEDs to provide light in the depths of the human body. Slicing the camera open reveals the hardware inside, however, like the miniature battery, the microcontroller, and the radio hardware that transmits signals outside the body. Unsurprisingly, it’s difficult to get into, since it’s heavily sealed to ensure the human body doesn’t accidentally digest the electronics inside.

The Wrew: Core Dump

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 06:31:51 +0000

The thing is… it is made to run on an ESP12, which is very capable and very power efficient, but tends not to allow for external antennas and doesn’t have great WiFi range. I wanted more range. I want an external antenna. And I have a few spare ESP32’s sitting around that allow for external antennas and have better WiFi performance. So, I decided to try to port the firmware from the ESP12 to the ESP32.

E-Ink Screen Combined With Analog Dial Is Epic Win | Hackaday

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 04:42:54 +0000

The concept is simple—get an e-ink display, and draw a dial on it using whatever graphics and scale you choose. Then, put it behind a traditional coil-driven analog dial in place of the more traditional paper scale. Now, you have an analog dial that can display any quantity you desire. Just update the screen to display a different scale as needed. Meanwhile, if you don’t need to change the display, the e-ink display will draw zero power and still display the same thing.

Tactile Controls: Why Buttons Are Making a Comeback - IEEE Spectrum

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 00:57:57 +0000

When I’m driving, it’s actually unsafe for my car to be operated in that way. It’s hard to generalize and say, buttons are always easy and good, and touchscreens are difficult and bad, or vice versa. Buttons tend to offer you a really limited range of possibilities in terms of what you can do. Maybe that simplicity of limiting our field of choices offers more safety in certain situations.

Tech companies are clamoring to re-buttonize their products

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 00:56:58 +0000

The WSJ has been on the button beat for a while. In a 2023 piece titled What Our Phones, Cars and Refrigerators Need: More Buttons, writer Nicole Nguyen detailed the challenges of touch screen interfaces being deployed in kitchen objects. After a pot of water boiled over on her induction stove, she was unable to turn down the burner because the touch screen has gotten wet. “I rage poked,” she wrote, “where a simple knob would have sufficed.”

JawnCon0x1: The Modem Badge

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 22:22:05 +0000

Having decided the retro late-80s early-90s theme for JawnCon 0x1, the inspiration for the badge seemed almost immediately obvious: the iconic, venerable Hayes SmartModem oozes industrial design of the era and is instantly recognizable to any of us who grew up when computers had the decency to shriek like digital banshees to let us know when they were plotting against us.
