Mike Szcycz is on a well-deserved vacation this week, so staff writer Dan Maloney joins managing editor Elliot Williams for a look at all the great hacks of the week. On this episode we're talking about licensing fees for MIDI 2.0, a two-way fail while snooping on employees, and the potential for diagnosing Alzheimer's with virtual reality. We also dive into the well-engineered innards of a robotic cheetah, a personal assistant safe enough for kids to use, and how listening to your monitor reveals more about you than you'd think. You don't want to miss a space nerd's quest for fire or a hacker's guide to solder and soldering. And you've got to catch the story of a hapless hacker's contact high from a vintage synthesizer. It's quite a trip. Show Notes: https://hackaday.com/?p=360003
