Every year over 200,000 people descend on Berlin for IFA, the largest tech trade show in Europe.

It boosts the contrast - always an issue with projectors - by placing two separate physical apertures (irises) along […]

I attend conferences regularly, and for years I’ve wanted a badge that makes it easy for people to find me online. In 2019, I attended defcon and built defpi , a goofy raspberry pi powered badge. While that was fun I wanted a bit more turnkey and I found just what I wanted with a Badgeware Badger (nerdy domain hack badgewa.re). Since my use case is to just have my socials via QR I chose the e-ink version as it made the most sense. So what does the Badger come equipped with? RP2350 WiFi 1000mAh battery USB-C MicroPython I might not be the biggest Python fan but in the age of AI does it matter? I just ask Codex to help me get the desired outcome I'm looking for! So Codex and I cooked a few hundred lines of Python and boom my profiles are only a QR code scan away. Let's take a look at my default badge screen in all its glory. Social screen. All in all it's pretty simple, get you to either my LinkedIn or my personal site . The crazy thing is the simulator lets me test the code before I deploy it to the badge. make sim and I'm able to test it locally. Then a simple make deploy while the badge is connected and it deploys it all. You can check out the code repo if you wanna steal slopfork my setup. Hacksore / badger Badger 2350 badge Personal Badgeware app for the Badger 2350. Requirements: macOS, uv , Git, and a data-capable USB-C cable. Run make to see the three available commands. Simulator make sim The first run clones and builds Badgeware Desktop beside this repo. Later runs reuse that build, stage the current app in an isolated filesystem, and launch it at the Badger's 264×176 resolution. Simulator controls: Space : Button B; flip between the badge and social/QR screens ↑ / ↓ : change the background pattern ← / → : Buttons A and C Esc : hot reload Deploy the app Connect the Badger over USB-C. Double-tap RESET . Wait for the BADGER drive to appear. Run: make deploy The command validates the app, copies its Python and image files into /apps/badge , safely ejects the dr

While memory and storage prices are still high, there are still good discounts on other gaming-related hardware. Take Alienware’s AW2726DM, for example. Dell is selling it for $319.99, a $30 break from the usual price of $349.99. The 27-inch gaming monitor features an QD-OLED panel for deep, immersive black levels, and quantum dots for full […]

Sony is one of many companies offering Labor Day discounts on tech products, though its week-long sale on the last-gen WH-1000XM5 is one of the most attractive deals I found upon logging in this morning.

BYOK is a no-frills, single-purpose gadget that 90 percent of people will find absolutely frivolous. But for those who spend a significant chunk of their lives putting words to virtual paper, there is an obvious allure. Personally, I think it's at its best when you just stick to the bare minimum, focusing on pure text […]

As my 20s are set to come to an end later this year, I’ve officially reached the age where sleeping in the wrong position or stretching just a little too far can cause aches and pains.
