join Hackaday Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Managing Editor Tom Nardi as they ring in the new Year with the first podcast episode of 2022. We get the bad news out early for those still thumbing away at their Blackberries, then pivot into some of the highlights from over the holidays such as the release of NODE’s The Pinouts book and the discovery of a few expectation-defying OpenSCAD libraries. We’ll look at modifying a water cooler with Ghidra, and the extraordinary technology that let’s historians uncover the hidden history of paintings. Oh, and we’ll also talk about all the best and a lot of crucial stories of the last 12 months. There’s a lot of ground to cover, so get comfortable.
