Valve has always designed hacker-friendly hardware, and in that spirit, [NaKyle Wright] released Inkterface , a design for an E-ink faceplate to fit the recently released Steam Machine. As far as projects go, this one is meticulously documented, so give it a peek.

Integrated electronic modules like counters and displays are convenient and space-saving, which may also make them easy to take for granted. [Nagy Krisztián] demonstrates this by making

[Simon Willison] ported the Moebuis 0.2B image inpainting model to run locally in a web browser . The web tool simply requires a user to provide an

If you're not aware, there is such a thing as adorable little three digit LCD 7-segment displays. They come in a ten-pin DIP package and are just begging to be integrated into a project. The catch is they are just a tiny bit weird. Luckily for us all, [Nagy Krisztián] spells out exactly how to use them

Giving machines the ability to communicate nonverbally has real value, and [Drew Smith] clearly thinks your robot deserves better than an emoji. He shared a very interesting approach with his project

Vehicles long ago began to incorporate electronics and software, to the point that modern vehicles increasingly have a sort of architecture problem. The software end of things evolves ever more rapidly, but vehicles and their centralized architecture are poorly-suited to continuous updates. As a result, the automotive industry is moving away from static, hardware-defined designs and more toward dynamic, software-defined platforms. In short, the era of

Speaking is much faster than typing, and while it's an increasingly convenient way to interact with computers, it's hardly private. Providing speech privacy in a way we haven't seen before is this

Valve recently released a new version of the Steam Controller, which features a wired USB puck that serves both as charger and dedicated, low-latency wireless receiver. The downside is they aren't currently available for purchase separately, but that's not a worry because you can now make your own thanks to [safijari]'s

[lcamtuf] is not just a calculator superfan, but also a skilled builder. That much is evident in the fabulous design of Calcumator 2000 , an electromechanical calculator that uses voltmeter readouts as digits (plus one at the bottom to represent decimal place). There are plenty of high-quality build images, so give it a look!

Full body tracking in VR applications involves attaching sensors to one's body, and [Jaki] has a DIY method to do it on the cheap: the Vive Tracker Lite project repurposes Vive controllers as lighthouse-based trackers, no hardware modifications required.
