Biyubi ran on a homebuilt Am29000 computer. Seeing it again in 2026 required rebuilding the emulator, storage, video, C environment and a network bridge around the recovered software.
Ploopy publishes mechanical, electronic and firmware layers. The result is not magically easy to repair, but it keeps the object inspectable and reproducible much deeper than a typical peripheral.
The GoldenEye project reconstructs source capable of reproducing the expected ROMs without distributing all game assets. “100%” describes a matching-build milestone, not the recovery of Rare's original source tree.
PINE64 paused several production runs as DRAM costs rose. The case shows why small hardware makers have fewer ways to absorb a shock that large buyers can negotiate through volume and contracts.
DNGEs combine stiff elastomer microparticles with a softer second network. Their architecture lets a printer shape the object while varying its mechanical behaviour locally.
In Cincinnati, 1872 is putting planning software, shop-floor operations and welding robots into one loop. Full autonomy remains a company target for 2027, not the current state of the factory.
The Gravity 800 controller already contained a programmable ESP32. FreeFall 800 keeps that board and moves remote control back onto the local network, with explicit security limits.
Eight 21 cm boats assemble and travel as one structure. FloatForm moves most coordination from a global planner to neighbouring robots.
AirForce folds, constricts and actuates one continuous tube to build human-scale moving structures. The useful trick is not just low weight: structure, actuators and logistics become the same material system.
A failed BIOS update turned a modular laptop into an SPI-flash repair. The interesting gap is between hardware that opens easily and firmware that still needs a bench-level escape route.
