It’s interesting how differently people value customization in their devices.
Some are perfectly happy with a system that works out of the box, while others slowly shape their setup until it really feels personal.
Over time, those small tweaks often seem to matter more than raw specs.

Durch https://www.sightviews.de/316-oskar bin ich auf https://www.oskars.org aufmerksam geworden (die sind auch hier seit einigen Jahren aktiv, s. https://chaos.social/@oskar_mbr).
Dieses Projekt bearbeitet bereits einige derThemen, mit denen ich mich ebenfalls beschäftigen möchte (3D-Druck, taktile Beschriftungen und Karten, barrierefreie Zugänge zu OpenStreetMap...).
Großartig!

⚡️ The Rise of KiCad: From a European lab to a global industry standard.
Proprietary PCB tools are expensive and restrictive. #KiCad changed the game by proving that #FOSS can rival—and even surpass—the giants.
Check out this deep dive into KiCad’s journey, its impact on #Electronics, and why European open-source initiatives are vital for digital sovereignty.

The semiconductor world is breaking open! 🔓💻
The era of closed-source silicon is being challenged by a revolution in Open Hardware. From the origins of the PULP platform at ETH Zurich to the massive rise of RISC-V, chip design is no longer just for the giants.
Check out our latest deep dive into how open initiatives are democratizing microelectronics:

For the #electronics and #embedded crowd: a concise summary of the hardware design guide for JieLi AC695N/AC696N Bluetooth audio SoCs.
It offers crucial DFM advice: you MUST provide test points for the programming pins (USB, power), as the small QFN package necessitates programming after SMT assembly via a USB connection.

The latest #Pluralistic post by @pluralistic is about a very smart #OpenHardware approach: the #Baochip. I know very little about hardware manufacturing, but this looks really cool and feasible.
Go read it at: https://pluralistic.net/2026/01/09/quantity-break/
This is true and is awesome. I own an ooold one, got the email. They bowed to community pressure.

And finally, an #OpenHardware 3D-printable parametric coil-winder. Whether you're doing teeny-tiny guitar pickups or massive secondaries for your Tesla coil, this'll do the job.
Spot the difference!
(Other than one’s been soldered up already.)

And finally, thanks to @polpo for bringing this to my attention: the amazing PicoPCMCIA from yyzkevin, a standards-compliant low-power PCMCIA card which adds *everything* you could possible want to add to your vintage laptop or palmtop.
Like, NE2000-based Wi-Fi? Sure. MPU-401, Sound Blaster, and GUS emulation? Yup, and a hardware synth engine to boot. CD-ROM emulator? Yeppers.
Very tempted to snag one for my HP 200LX...

Then another #microcontroller makes an appearance in this "graphics card" from Aiden Chostner - plus a Peltier element for sub-zero cooling it, to eke out the maximum possible performance.
No, it won't get you more FPS in Crysis. It'll run Doom, though.

Finally, a project to 3D print a low-cost and probably-good-enough self-levelling laser level for any #DIY projects you've got lined up for the new year:

Back at work for #Hackster today, and it's going to be a gentler month - around four articles a day to stay on-target, after squeezing a month's worth of work into a little over two weeks of December(!).
First up in 2026 is a look at the dabao from Andrew "bunnie" Huang - an upcoming development board built around the "mostly-open" silicon Baochip X1 #RISCV microcontroller. Launching on @crowdsupply soon!
