This week, Hackaday\u2019s Elliot Williams and Kristina Panos met up over assorted beverages to bring you the latest news, mystery sound results show, and of course, a big bunch of hacks from the previous seven days or so.<\/p>\n
<\/a>In the news, there\u2019s quite a bit to talk about. Regarding Hackaday Europe, you can rest assured that the talks will be announced soon. The Green-Powered Challenge<\/a> is still underway, and we need your entry<\/a> to truly make it a contest. You have until April 24th to enter, so show us what you can do with power you scrounge up from the environment!<\/p>\n As usual, we published<\/a> a handful of April Fool\u2019s posts<\/a>, which you may or may not find amusing<\/a>. And finally \u2014 no fooling \u2014 our own Tom Nardi wrote up the Artemis moon launch<\/a>, and is going to update the post every day until the mission ends.<\/p>\n On What\u2019s That Sound, we can score one for Kristina, which brings her record to approximately three wins and sixty-eight losses. She knew without a doubt that the dialogue was from the Day the Earth Stood Still<\/span> (1951). Oh, what? There was a remake in 2008? Kristina should get bonus points, then.<\/p>\n After that, it\u2019s on to the hacks, beginning with the basics of making clean enclosures that are decidedly not 3D-printed, a couple of sweet lo-fi cameras, and a nice way to tame the tape when it comes to SMT parts.\u00a0We also discuss a clock that marks time in a mathematical way, watch an electro-permanent magnet in action, and improving soda by turning it into mead. Finally, we discuss the solar balconies taking Europe by storm, and Copilot\u2019s terrifying terms of service.<\/p>\n Check out the links below if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in\u00a0the comments!<\/p>\n
