The QuadRF (pictured above) a phased-array radio built around a Raspberry Pi 5 and an FPGA board with picosecond-level timing. It does advanced signal processing and beamforming. It can see WiFi through walls and track drones in flight. If the open source community can come up with something like this, just imagine what governments are capable of. When you plug a computer into a network, tools like Wireshark can show all the hidden traffic you might not even know is there. WiFi packets are the same, but those travel through the air, allowing snooping without physical access.

The Mexican cavefish kept its eye genes for over a million years after the eyes themselves disappeared. Something similar happens to companies once they achieve success.
Crank-angle-resolved combustion engine simulator: build an engine, watch it run, and read real thermodynamics β PβV diagrams, dyno curves, knock prediction and more.
Apple's Mac mini and Mac Studio have become the machines of choice for running AI agents, according to Doug Brooks, Apple's senior product manager of Apple silicon. Brooks made the claim while discussing Apple's chip strategy in a newly published interview with The Deep View conducted just prior to WWDC 2026 in June. Brooks says that the company has seen "incredible demand" for the two desktop Macs.
GPT-5.6's new Sol, Terra, and Luna tiers go head-to-head with Grok 4.5, Claude, Meta's Muse Spark, and the open-weights crew on a raycaster, a Rubik's cube, a calculator, and Game of Life. Here's every build, with cost and latency.
