CNX Software ☛ NASP NeuroVoice VAD chip enables always-on voice activity detection at microwatt-level power consumption
POLYN Technology’s Neuromorphic Analog Signal Processor (NASP) NeuroVoice VAD is an always-on, ultra-low-power chip that detects voice in any noisy background, at microwatt-level power consumption and microsecond-scale latency. Everything happens on the chip, so no Internet is needed.

Raspberry Pi ☛ Amstrad PPC 640 cyberdeck gets a Raspberry Pi makeover
When faced with a broken Amstrad PPC 640, Mikey Damager had two choices: return the machine to its former glory or tear it apart and rebuild it using modern parts. He decided to do the latter, turning what was Amstrad’s first portable IBM PC compatible computer, released in 1987, into a cool-looking cyberdeck powered by Raspberry Pi 4. It produced a machine capable of running an interactive fiction project for Mikey’s master’s degree.

Tom's Hardware ☛ Engineer turns E-ink tablet into computer monitor in Linux — perfect secondary reading screen to reduce eye strain over the network
The project turns an E-ink tablet into a mirrored clone of an existing second display in a desktop setup. Using VNC for network remote control of a computer, this implementation turns the E-ink tablet into both a display and an input device, opening up options from being used as a primarily reading and writing display to also being usable as a drawing tablet or other screen-as-input-device use cases.

Thomas Jensen ☛ A short update on my Raspberry Pi security alarm project
Hello again — it seems to be close to a year since I last managed to get some words published on this blog. And almost three years since I last wrote about my Raspberry Pi security alarm project 😮
But the project is still alive and well. We use it every night and whenever we are away, and it just works 😃 Development usually happens in bulk, with very little happening in between.
Since the last post, the system has progressed a lot: [...]
