  • Dave played with an ECG kit...shirtless.
  • Chris started a new YouTube project called Science Not Silence. He is growing algae as a basic science experiment and doing other projects to alleviate frustrations.
  • Future projects will be using the CE header. Headers are nothing new, of course. Digilent uses the Pmod and Seeed has their Grove connector.
  • NXP is spinning out their passive business called Nexperia
  • Be careful with naming, esp on the internet: You might get Boaty McBoatface
  • Audiofools could test and test cabling but would still "hear" differences
  • James Randi offered a million to people that could prove their case.
  • China factory implemented robots...to expected ends. To be fair, it does appear this is a car manufacturer.
  • CGP Gray's "Humans Need Not Apply" is a classic on the coming age of automation.
  • Apparently Vizio TVs are tracking user habits. Do you trust a "Smart TV"? Or other device? Sparkfun created an "Alexa Kill Switch" More discussion on the topic at the EEVblog forum.
  • Chris has been looking into TAILS, which boots an entire OS off a USB stick. Reference podcasts like Steve Gibson's Security Now for more knowledgable discussion on these topics.
  • Olimex built a DIY laptop in KiCad! A build PDF is found here.
  • Wayne, the KiCad project lead, discussed the upcoming roadmap at FOSDEM.
  • Former guest Great Scott made a fun video about building a DIY battery pack with standard Li-Ion cells.
    • Next week, we'll be welcoming Bunnie back to the show! Ask your questions here. Listen to the first time we had him on (ep 84!) in the past.
