Got an idea and want to make a simple 3D model, but don't want to install a full-fledged CAD modeling suite and queue up a few hours of tutorial videos? Check out

Launch a single static binary executable, send someone a QR code or URL (or failing that, text a numerical code or shout it across a room), and they'll get an encrypted terminal in their browser. No VPN, no port forwarding, no firewall modifications, and no account setup required. It's

[John Dingley] spends a lot of time editing videos, and as many of us know, when it comes to repetitive tasks the more ergonomic the better.

As someone who disassembles and repairs hardware, [Aad] eventually ended up with a huge collection of mixed bolts and screws.

Avian Visitors is a lovely project by [Teddy Warner] that uses a Raspberry Pi and microphone to keep track of which birds have been visiting your home, and creates a colorful illustration of recent visitors on top of it all.

A manual skill like soldering is so much easier to learn and grasp when one can watch it in action, and there's a brand new way to do that using virtual reality (VR). It isn't just a series of 3D videos shot at someone's workbench, either.

The Ting FX EP-2350 by Teenage Engineering is a standalone microphone with a few extras, including samples and built-in effect presets that can be modified by the user. It also has a distinctive design, and [Sam Holland] does an

Printed footwear is an intriguing idea, but as far as projects go it is somewhat more complex than it first appears.

The Quest virtual reality headset gets a fully unlocked bootloader thanks to the QuestStack tool , which automates a complex process of privilege escalation to provide stable, privileged access to the hardware. This solidly frees the headset from its existence as a device tied to Meta's walled garden, although the tool only works on the Quest 1.

[Matt Lenhard] has an interesting writeup explaining exactly how fraudsters offer access to cutting-edge AI models at a tenth of the price . Perhaps unsurprisingly, the secret is to get tokens for free from anywhere they can and by any means necessary. Then wrap them in a pretty relay API, and sell access to it.
