Ars Technica sees new $600 “premium Chromebooks” Dell, Samsung, HP, and Lenovo as a growing challenge to Windows, proving that Chrome OS is reaching beyond the education market. These $600 machines aren’t aimed at those same students. Lenovo reps told us that its new Chromebook was developed because the company was seeing demand for Chromebooks…

Epoxy Embedded Electronic Art Running On Pyramid Power
We sometimes get our inspirations from art. When [kodera2t] saw some Japanese art of fish drawings embedded in clear epoxy he just had to make his own. But while skilled in electronics, he wasn’t skilled at drawing. We’d still call him an artist, though, after seeing what he came up with in his electronics embedded…
Is Windows Coming To Chromebooks?
Computerworld suggests a strange strategy for Windows: If you can’t beat Chromebook, join Chromebook: The eagle-eyed developers at XDA Developers have spotted a new Google Pixelbook firmware branch. This new code, “eve-campfire,” includes a new “Alt OS mode.” That “Alt OS”? WIndows 10. From the clues XDA has picked up, this looks as if it…
Transistor Fundamentals Animated
When we were in school, every description of how transistors work was pretty dry and had a lot of math involved. We suppose you might have had a great instructor who was able to explain things more intuitively, but that was luck of the draw and statistically unlikely. These days, there are so many great…

LED-ifying A Guitar
Say you have a guitar, an expensive guitar – one of only three like it. And say this guitar sounds great, but it’s missing something. It needs something, but something that won’t ruin the finish. Over at Sparkfun, [Englandsaurus] was asked to come up with a really cool looking mod to a three-of-a-kind guitar –…
How Can We Fix The Broken Economics of Open Source?
“The economics of Open Source software are fundamentally broken,” argues Matt Klein, a senior software engineer at Lyft (who created Envoy). Here’s a heavily-condensed version of his essay on Medium: If we take consulting, services, and support off the table as an option for high-growth revenue generation (the only thing VCs care about), we are…
A BCD Clock For Your Desk
We see so many clocks here at Hackaday, and among those we see our fair share of binary clocks. But to see one that at first sight looks as though it might be a commercial product when it is in fact a one-off project is something special. That’s just what [Tobi4sDE] has done though, with…
