Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Mike Szczys kick off the first podcast of the new year. Elliot just got home from Chaos Communications Congress (36c3) with a ton of great stories, and he showed off his electric cargo carrier build while he was there. We recount some of the most interesting hacks of the past few weeks, such as 3D-printed molds for making your own paper-pulp objects, a rudimentary digital camera sensor built by hand, a tattoo-removal laser turned welder, and desktop-artillery that’s delivered in greeting-card format.

Have you fully undetstood the sense of the german sentence below the hackaday logo in the picture above? I guess not ;)
I’m getting “For hackaday, done” but I suck at idiom so is it more like a sarcastic “good enough for Hackaday” ??
It is the sarcastic version.
Yes, he definitely understood that. We had great laughs about it at 36c3. That’s why he said we weren’t sure if anyone wanted to be rude, but the probability of someone wanting to be rude at the congress is absolute minimal, so it had to be a sarcastic joke.
