Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi meet up virtually to talk about the week’s top stories and hacks, such as the fine art of resistor trimming and lessons learned from doing overseas injection molding. They’ll go over circuit bending, self-driving cars, and a solar camera that started as a pandemic project and turned into an obsession. You’ll also hear about Linux on the Arduino, classic ICs etched into slate, and an incredible restoration of one of the most interesting Thinkpads ever made. Stay tuned until the end to hear about a custom USB-C power supply and the long-awaited Hackaday Supercon 2023 Vectorscope badge.

Can’t-Miss Articles:
Podcast got pushed out late this week, folks. It could take a half hour to show up at your aggregator of choice.
Of course, it’s here now, embedded and downloadable!
Better late than never. I’m saving up all the recent ones for a long drive out west in a few weeks. :-)
As I started listening the podcasts a couple of months ago, also I’m listening the older ones, backwards. Nice end for 207 while in shower home alone.
Vectorscope badge? Should I pack the oscilloscope??
If it fits in your carry-on luggage? :)
