Hackaday Podcast Episode 394: Linux in Weird Places, Yet More Hidden SDRs, and a Supercon Wrapup

Wait 5 sec.

Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi are back from Supercon, and they’ve got plenty of thoughts to share about it. But before they discuss this weekend’s higlights, they’ll cover the recent scuttling of the legendary SS United States, the discovery of even more hidden software-defined radios in everyday gadgets, Linux running on Kindles and microcontrollers, and a Game Boy flash cart that’s not designed for playing games. You’ll also hear about LEGO 3D printers, finding out where a video was recorded by the sound of the airplanes in the background, and a website that lets you listen in on the satellites flying over your house.Check out the links if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!Direct download, DRM-free MP3.Where to Follow Hackaday PodcastPlaces to follow Hackaday podcasts:iTunesSpotifyStitcherRSSYouTubeCheckout our Libsyn landing pageEpisode 394 Show Notes:News:How To Sink A Ship: Preparing The SS United States For Its Final JourneyThe SS United States: The Most Important Ocean Liner We May Soon Lose ForeverMailbag:Pat notices there’s a secret message in the Mail Bag themeInteresting Hacks of the Week:The Hidden Microcontroller Inside A LoRa ChipAnother Wireless Chip Has A Hidden SDR RevealedFrom Phone, To SDR, No Extra HardwareA Smart Alarm Clock That Doesn’t Sell Your SoulDeviceTree For Hackers: IntroA Power Button For Raspberry Pi, Courtesy Of Device Tree OverlaysIt’s Alpine Linux, On A Kindle Paperwhite 3The Unexpected Joys Of Hacking An Old KindleProper Linux, On An ESP32GitHub – espressif/linux: Linux kernel source tree with Espressif patches · GitHubCustom Game Boy Cart Speeds Up DevelopmentPi Pico Game Boy Flash Cart Gets Slim RP2040 UpgradeQuick Hacks:Elliot’s Picks:Print & Place: Add Embedded Electronics While FDM PrintingA LEGO 3D PrinterDetermining Location By Listening For AirplanesTom’s Picks:Web Satellite Tracker Plays The Music Of The SpheresModular, 3D Printed Train Whistles For EveryoneTiny Transmitters Track Monarch Butterflies
