Hackaday Podcast Episode 379: Driving E-ink DIY, NES on ESP, and the Other IRC

Hackaday's latest podcast episode showcases the hardware hacking community's favorite pastime: coaxing new life from old technology. Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi dive into a sprawling mix of projects—high-refresh e-ink displays, NES emulation running on microcontrollers, and creative sensor hacks for 3D printers. The episode also covers some deeply niche territory, including DIY X-ray machines and the surprisingly resilient hobby of restoring decades-old Java rings. As Hackaday shows, the maker community's creativity peaks when there's old silicon and a soldering iron on hand.
