Play Text Adventures On An E-Paper Handheld
Jeremy Ngai built a handheld e-paper device that plays choose-your-own-adventure games generated by Gemini. It uses a 2.9-inch e-paper screen, a rotary encoder, and an RGB LED for mood lighting, and can provide an estimated 20 hours of entertainment per charge. The build has a custom PCB and a 3D printed enclosure. After WiFi setup through a captive portal, the device fetches an AI-generated story from Gemini. Everything needed to build one is available on GitHub.

Saving A Vintage High-Voltage Power Supply From The Scrap Heap
A Fluke Model 407 high-voltage power supply gets rescued from the scrap heap and diagnosed on video. Mr Carlson powers it up safely using an isolated transformer and a current-limited variac, avoiding the risk of full power on old components. The vacuum-tube-and-circuit-board unit shows no visible damage but its output misbehaves. Using the original schematics, he traces the fault to a single faulty capacitor in the feedback loop that keeps output voltage constant.
