Virtual Museum Hosts Every OS You Haven’t Heard Of

https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=jqcuqWTxTNw

OK, every operating system is a bit of a stretch — Windows Vista notably didn’t make the cut — but [Andrew]’s Virtual OS museum has a good claim to being the most comprehensive archive of operating systems yet assembled.

[Andrew] has a blog post describing the project, as well as a YouTube video that we’ve embedded below. But the real fun is in the downloading and spinning up one of 570+ operating systems for more than 250 platforms on pre-configured virtual machines that have been packaged up for us.

This isn’t just the usual retrocomputer nostalgia-fest of Macintosh System and DOSBox. There’s...

Gesture HW1 is a 10-DOF ESP32-S3 robotic hand with high-dexterity manipulation (Crowdfunding)

The HW1 by Gesture Platforms is a 10-degree-of-freedom (DOF) high-dexterity robotic hand and wrist built around an ESP32-S3 wireless MCU. It’s primarily designed for researchers, educators, and hobbyists; it bridges the gap between basic DIY robotic hands and expensive industrial models. The device weighs just around 500 grams but can handle a 1kg dynamic load and a 3kg static load. It communicates via USB-C or Bluetooth 5.0 and comes with a companion desktop app as well as Python and C++ SDKs for custom development. Gesture HW1 specifications: Microcontroller – Espressif Systems ESP32-S3 dual-core LX7 microprocessor with WiFi 4 and Bluetooth 5.0...

Privacy-focused, open-source Raspberry Pi Zero 2W DIY security camera offers end-to-end encryption, on-device AI

Secluso is a private, open-source, DIY home security camera system built around the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, featuring true end-to-end encryption (E2EE) and on-device AI for human, pet, and vehicle detection. It was designed as an alternative to commercial smart home cameras that require sending raw video feeds to a proprietary cloud, a practice that often raises significant privacy concerns. Developed by Secluso, Inc., co-founded by UC Irvine professor Ardalan Amiri Sani and John Kaczman, the project utilizes Messaging Layer Security (MLS, RFC 9420) to ensure end-to-end encryption between the camera and the user’s smartphone. Because the system uses...

Эксперименты с WAP в 2026 году

Эта статья - продолжение моей предыдущей статьи: Создаем собственную базовую станцию при помощи SDR. В прошлый раз я экспериментировал с 2G GPRS, но на старых телефонах эта технология не поддерживается, а мне хотелось запустить WAP именно на таком. О том, как вернуться в эпоху до распространения GPRS - читайте далее.

VIA Labs VL610/VL610D MST Hub controllers to enable USB-C multi-display adapters with up to three 4K display outputs

VIA Labs VL610/VL610D MST (Multi-Stream Transport) Hub controllers are designed for multi-display expansion, enabling USB-C adapters to drive up to three 4K UHD high-resolution HDMI or DisplayPort displays simultaneously. The chips succeed the VL605 single-channel USB-C to HDMI 2.1 signal converter. The VL610 supports three video outputs up to 4Kp60, while the VL610D is limited to two video outputs for different docking design needs. VIA VL610/VL610D key features and specifications: Display/USB Input – DisplayPort Receiver (DPRX) supporting HBR3 (High Bit Rate 3) up to 32.4 Gbps, suitable for up to 8Kp60 and D+/D- USB 2.0 Video and Audio output VL610...

Broadcom BCM68850 and BCM55050 SoCs target Wi-Fi 8 and 50G PON fiber gateways

Broadcom has recently introduced two complementary chips for 50G Passive Optical Network (PON) gateways: the BCM68850 gateway SoC and the BCM55050 Optical Network Unit (ONU) SoC. The devices target fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) infrastructure, such as home gateways, ONTs/ONUs, and multi-gigabit CPE, to deliver ultra-fast, low-latency connectivity for AI workloads, UHD streaming, and more. The BCM68850 is a 50G ITU-PON gateway SoC with a multicore Arm CPU, integrated NPU for edge AI, and Wi-Fi 8 support, for high-speed routing, Ethernet switching, VoIP, and AI-driven functions. It also supports multiple PON standards along with LPDDR4/5 memory, PCIe, USB, and various security features. The...

Modos Flow – An FPGA-based 13.3-inch USB-C touchscreen e-paper monitor (Crowdfunding)

Modos Flow is a paper-like, 13.3-inch USB Type-C touchscreen monochrome or color monitor that builds upon the Modos Paper devkit introduced last year with an AMD/Xilinx Spartan-6 LX16 FPGA and STMicro STM32H750 Arm Cortex-M7 microcontroller. The main difference is that the Modos Flow is more like a consumer product with a full enclosure, a touchscreen, and optional stylus support, 4096-color e-paper display, and frontlight. Modos Flow specifications: FPGA – AMD Xilinx Spartan-6 LX16 FPGA running Caster gateware like the earlier devkit MCU – STMicro STM32H750 Arm Cortex-M7 microcontroller for USB communication, firmware upgrades, and standalone applications.
