Ep 191: Researchers Parse Starlink, Switches Sense Muscles, and LFT Plays the Commodordion

This week, Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Staff Writer Dan Maloney get together for a look at everything cool under the hardware-hacking sun. Think you need to learn how to read nerve impulses to run a prosthetic hand? Think again -- try spring-loaded plungers and some Hall effect sensors. What's Starlink saying? We're not sure, but if you're clever enough you can use the radio link for ad hoc global positioning. Historically awful keyboards, pan-and-scan cable weather stations, invisibility cloaks, plumbing fittings for electrical controls -- we'll talk about it all. And if you've never heard two Commodore 64s and a stack of old floppies turned into an electronic accordion, you really don't know what you're missing. We've go sooo many links. You must click on them all!
