Connector Kerfuffle, Tuning Fork Time, Spinach Contact Prints, and Tesla's Permanent Memory


Season 3 Episode 106


Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Mike Szczys recount the coolest hacks from the past week. Most clocks keep time with a quartz crystal, but we discuss one that uses a tuning fork... like the kind you use to tune a piano. Ghidra is a powerful reverse engineering tool developed by the NSA that was recently put to good use changing an embedded thermometer display from Celsius to Fahrenheit. We talk turkey on the Texas power grid problems and Tesla's eMMC failures. And of course there's some room for nostalgia as we walk down memory lane with the BASIC programming language.
