A NC State patch detects dangerous gases, aerosols and heavy metals in water, then warns you through distinct vibration codes. The interesting part is not the sensor. It is the end of the chain.
ShiftLens, a system from MIT, produces objects whose surface changes with the user's gesture: a bottle turns green when its cap is tightened. No sensor, no screen.
The first working hack ran HP's Linux codec inside Colima. Thirty-eight hours later, the repository had removed it in favor of patched SpliX and a native CUPS USB backend.
Doom now runs on a Canon EOS 550D using its screen, buttons and even its speaker. The port is really a map of everything developers had to learn about the camera first.
Mastodon is already showing the 5.0 interface, but there is no 5.0 release yet. The heavier admin work is actually arriving in 4.7.
Sing-song turns arbitrary bytes into six-bit CV syllables. It is compact in speech and reversible, but its grammar is neither a checksum nor a complete identity.
Microlighter colors code with CSS Custom Highlight instead of wrapping every token in spans. We measured the real payload, DOM behavior, 37 grammars and all ten themes.
Edge Link shows how to add telemetry, a UNS and local AI to old equipment. Its current prototype is mostly upstream: remote control is exactly the part that should not be treated casually.
LEAK turns a phone’s network traffic into light and sound. The crucial detail is that the sculpture does not detect the act of putting the phone down: it becomes the phone’s route to the internet.
PicoCamera brings OV2640, OV3660 and OV7670 capture to RP2040/RP2350. For raw images, though, the real ceiling is not the sensor but the framebuffer.
