Hackaday Podcast Episode 388: RAM-Swapping on Raspberry Pi, Raindrops on Radar, and a Fine Mesh
What happened
This week, Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Al Williams had a lot to talk about. From advice for a young hacker to using a laser to break into a microcontroller, there was plenty to cover from the week in Hackaday.
From the “Point/Counter Point” department, there were dueling posts about how big a deal it is for Raspberry Pi to lock out RAM chip swapping. For intellectual exercise, there’s the physics of raindrops becoming a radar antenna.
For the can’t-miss articles, the big news was the issues with LoRa mesh communities possibly clashing with the FCC rules and how to make your computer take dictation. Direct download an MP3 created with ultra premium ones and zeros .
