Hackaday Podcast Episode 375: Rebuilding Tech on Our Terms and the Hero Nerd

Wait 5 sec.

In this episode, Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi start off by taking a trip down the Raspberry Pi memory lane and then tackle a fresh pile of listener mail. The discussion moves on to hacking bike counter, homebrew upgrades to the Nintendo Entertainment System, and building RAM from whats in the parts bin. You’ll hear about the latest drop-in upgrade for a classic Casio watch, hosting light bulbs that host subversive literature, and loading Wii U games from a weird disk drive from the 1980s. They’ll wrap things up with a dive into the evolving portrayals of brilliant rebels in media, and all the things you can do with a cheap router.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 in DRM-free MP3.Where to Follow Hackaday PodcastPlaces to follow Hackaday podcasts:iTunesSpotifyStitcherRSSYouTubeCheckout our Libsyn landing pageEpisode 375 Show Notes:Mailbag:Raspberry Pi Locator Website To Shut Down In JulyHow to Figure Out What Your Car Knows About You (and Opt Out of Sharing When You Can)Your Car May Be Spying On You.
