Ever wanted to just plug something in and conveniently read the hostname and IP addresses of a headless board like a Raspberry Pi? Chances are, a free USB port is more accessible than digging up a monitor and keyboard, and that’s where [C4KEW4LK]’s rpi_usb_ip_display comes in. Plug it into a free USB port, and a few moments later, read the built-in display. Handy!

The device is an RP2350 board and a 1.47″ Waveshare LCD, with a simple 3D-printed enclosure. It displays hostname, WiFi interface, Ethernet interface, and whatever others it can identify. There isn’t even a button to push; just plug it in and let it run.

Here’s how it works: once plugged in, the board identifies itself as a USB keyboard and a USB serial port. Then it launches a terminal with Ctrl-Alt-T, and from there it types and runs commands to do the following:

1. Find the serial port that the RP2350 board just created.
2. Get the parsed outputs of hostname, ip -o -4 addr show dev wlan0, ip -o -4 addr show dev eth0, and ip -o -4 addr show to gather up data on active interfaces.
3. Send that information out the serial port to the RP2350 board.
4. Display the information on the LCD.
5. Update periodically.

The only catch is that the host system must be able to respond to launching a new terminal with Ctrl-Alt-T, which typically means the host must have someone logged in.

It’s a pretty nifty little tool, and its operation might remind you, in concept, of how BadUSB attacks happen: a piece of hardware, once plugged into a host, identifies itself to the host as something other than what it appears to be. Then it proceeds to input and execute actions. But in this case, it’s not at all malicious, just convenient and awfully cute.

press-on acrylic nails that, when you apply an electric charge, change color almost like magic.

In order to enjoy kaleidoscopic nails, you’ll need to charge the wand, which then connects to your phone. Once you’ve selected your color of choice, you just put the tip of the nail into the wand, and it’ll pass a short charge into the nail to change it.

[…]

All in all, it took around five seconds to change the color of a single nail, so it’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

iPolish says that each nail can display 400 colors, and can be changed as many times as the user would like. So, if you’re coordinating your nails with your outfits, you’re not bound to a single color palette in the weeks between salon visits. They’re also surprisingly affordable, with the starter set costing $95  [NB by the time you pay for shipping (EUR 29!) and taxes, they come to Europe for EUR 141 which is a bit much less affordable] which contains two sets of nails, one in Ballerina cut, one in Squoval. The Ballerinas are relatively short, while the Sqovals are longer.

[…]

When it comes time to replace your nails when one breaks or you lose it in some nailbed mishap, you’ll be able to pick up spares for $6.50.

Would have bought these for around EUR 100,- but EUR 141,- is just too much.

Announced on Monday at CES 2026, the HP EliteBoard G1a looks like a standard desktop keyboard, complete with 93 keys, including a number pad. Its keys have a solid 2 mm of travel, more than most laptops, and felt OK to type on during our brief hands-on, but it’s not mechanical so isn’t the best keyboard money can buy. However, look at the back surface and you’ll notice a small vent where air comes out and either two USB-C ports, or, on some SKus, a single port with a built-in USB-C cable that hangs off it like a tail.

HP EliteBoard G1a

The idea is that you plug the EliteBoard G1a into a monitor that has USB-C video input and allow it to send data and get power over a single wire. Connect a wireless mouse and you’ve got your workstation covered. Maintain a similar monitor and mouse setup at home and you can carry just the keyboard back and forth.

If your monitor, like the majority on the market, doesn’t have a USB-C input, you can use an included USB-to-HDMI adapter to connect. You can use a 65 W USB-C power adapter to juice the G1a if it’s not getting electricity directly from the monitor.

The G1a weighs between 1.49 and 1.69 pounds, depending on config, and measures 14.1 in x 4.7 in x 0.7 inches, so it is more portable than most laptops, though it is longer and thicker than some. At its CES preview, HP showed off a long, thin envelope you can use to carry it and said it would also fit into any laptop bag that holds a 16-inch or larger laptop.

HP EliteBoard G1a

The G1a comes powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 5 or 7 (330, 340, or 350 Pro) with integrated AMD Radeon 800 graphics and an NPU that runs at up to 50 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second). Those specs make it a Copilot+ PC by Microsoft’s standards, which means you get certain offline AI features like Microsoft Recall, Click to Do, and Windows Studio Effects. You can get it with up to 64 GB of DDR5 5600 MT/s RAM and up to 2 TB of SSD storage, along with Wi-Fi 6E or 7 connectivity.

[…]

You’ll also be able to configure the G1a with or without a 32 Wh battery that HP claims can offer up to 3.5 hours of unplugged use or two days in sleep. It’s difficult to imagine a scenario where you’d need to use the keyboard without a power source, but having it be asleep while you carry it from one destination to another would be a huge plus.

This is an absolutely brilliant idea.

2025 was a surprisingly big year for Pebble fans. Last March, former Pebble CEO Eric Migicovsky unexpectedly launched two new Pebble smartwatches: the Pebble 2 Duo and the Pebble Time 2. Now, on just the second day of 2026, Migicovsky has announced a third Pebble smartwatch — the Pebble Round 2.

For all intents and purposes, the Pebble Round 2 is a spiritual successor to the Pebble Time Round, Pebble’s excellent circular smartwatch that was released in 2015. At first glance, the new watch looks indistinguishable from its older sibling. However, there are a couple of key upgrades that fix the original Pebble Time Round’s biggest flaws.

The first is the display. Where the Pebble Time Round featured a 1-inch screen, the Pebble Round 2 has a 1.3-inch screen. A 0.3-inch size upgrade may not sound like much on paper, but as you can see from the photos above, it’s a night-and-day difference when looking at the Pebble Round 2 and Pebble Time Round side by side — largely thanks to the drastically reduced bezels on the new watch.

In addition to the larger size, the Pebble Round 2’s screen is also higher quality, featuring a 260 x 260 resolution that’s twice as sharp as the OG Pebble Time Round. The screen is also now optically bonded, resulting in greatly improved viewing angles compared to the previous model.

The other big upgrade is battery life. Migicovsky says the Pebble Round 2 should last 10 to 14 days per charge, a massive increase over the two days of battery life provided by the original Pebble Time Round (primarily due to newer, more efficient Bluetooth technology). Although it’s not as impressive as the 30-day battery life offered by the other two Pebble watches announced a few months ago, it’s still incredible endurance considering how light and thin the Pebble Round 2 is.

[…]

It has step and sleep tracking, a compass, two microphones, and 30m water resistance. Compared to the Pebble Time 2, the two most prominent missing features on the Pebble Round 2 are a heart rate monitor and a speaker.

After successful crowdfunding, the latest release of the original handheld Linux distro will power a new handset coming in mid-2026.

The initial crowdfunding drive for the new Jolla Phone seems to have gone well: at the time of writing, the new device has comfortably passed double the number of orders needed to go into production. Finnish vendor Jolla set a goal of 2,000 €99 pre-order deposits by January 4th, but passed the goal in less than two weeks. The first batch of 2,700 units were £499. Batch 2 will ship two to four weeks later, and cost €549, but that’s now sold out too. Currently, well over 5,000 orders have been placed. With 20 days to go, the pre-order page says:

We take a maximum of 10,000 pre-orders until January 31st, 2026. Reserve your spot and lock your special total price of 579€.

The new Jolla Phone, resplendent in The Orange – or Snow White and Kaamos Black – Click to enlarge

The down payment will be deducted from the total price. Jolla is now taking orders for 5,200 units in batch 3, which will cost €579 and ship three to six weeks later. After the first few production runs, totalling 10,000 units, the price of the handset will go up to €599 to €699.

The phone specs were set by a survey the company ran, with a first stage in August followed by November update. To our eyes it looks decent if not outstanding: 5G connectivity, a 6.36 inch AMOLED screen, an indicator LED, 12 GB of RAM plus 256 GB of storage expandable via microSDXC. Some of the details are welcome: a user-replaceable 5,500 mAh battery, plus a software-based privacy switch which can disable the microphone, or Bluetooth, or Android apps, or other programmable options. For this vulture, a sad absence is a headphone socket.

An added incentive, if the device sells 10,000 units, is the return of smart back covers called The Other Half, which even included a keyboard.

Sailfish is distinct from any other mobile OS today. Its origins at Nokia predate the January 2007 launch of the iPhone, by whose prospects The Reg was not enthralled. That, of course, also means it was out long before Android, which as Daring Fireball described in 2010 was originally designed to rival Blackberry. (The Internet Archive still has some of Engadget’s screenshots.) After Android was remodeled to take on Apple, both OSes look a lot like each other: the home screen is a grid of app icons, and both lean heavily on tapping on-screen buttons. (Before that, of course, they relied on physical buttons.)

[…]

Sailfish 5 feels very different, with little visible influence from anything else. You flip between its two home screens by swiping left and right. One holds a list of messages and notifications, and the other is a full-screen app switcher, with tiles for each open app. Dragging up from the bottom reveals the app launcher. Uniquely, it distinguishes between long and short drags down from the top of the screen: a long fast swipe down opens a settings panel, but in native Salfish apps, a short slow drag opens a full-screen-width menu; you scroll up and down until the desired option is highlighted, then select it by lifting your thumb. It shows whether options are turned on or off with a large, bright white dot, or a smaller dimmer dot. A different white dot at top left is also the Back button, where one makes sense.

Like the overloaded white-dot symbol, some aspects of the OS are a little confusing. In addition to the official Jolla Store, there are two different tools for managing third-party native apps: StoreMan manages software from the collection on OpenRepos, and Chum GUI manages RPM packages from Chum. Then there’s the built-in AppSupport compatibility layer, which lets you run Android apps. We installed both F-Droid and the Aurora store, and had no problems installing any typical tools such as Signal, Whatsapp, or YouTube Kids.

There are built-in apps for all the things you’d expect a smartphone to do, and these connect to the usual suspects such as Google’s email, calendar, and contacts. There’s a browser based on Mozilla tech, as well, which works fine – as did Android browsers such as Vivaldi. Like its very distant relative Symbian, though, this is a local-first sort of device which can sync, rather than a pocket cloud client.

Maps are a particular weak point: we tried Google Maps and Nokia spin-off Here, which both literally drew a blank. The OpenStreetMap-based Mapy.com ran and could be searched, but couldn’t detect our location. There aren’t many cloud-storage clients, either. The stock keyboard doesn’t support swipe-style text entry, which we found frustrating.

Overall, Sailfish is arguably the most complete independent mobile OS. It’s totally separate from anything from Google, or Apple, or desktop Linux, and the app catalog is impressive. We did regularly get lost in its slightly idiosyncratic UI, but it was always possible to get out again. If you want a total break from the mainstream mobile duopoly, this is a viable alternative. Although you might need a standalone sat-nav too.

Connected devices are ubiquitous in our era of wireless chips heavily relying on streaming data to someone else’s servers. This sentence might already start to sound dodgy, and it doesn’t get better when you think about today’s smart glasses, like the ones built by Meta (aka Facebook).

[sh4d0wm45k] doesn’t shy away from fighting fire with fire, and shows you how to build a wireless device detecting Meta’s smart glasses – or any other company’s Bluetooth devices, really, as long as you can match them by the beginning of the Bluetooth MAC address.

[sh4d0wm45k]’s device is a mini light-up sign saying “GLASSHOLE”, that turns bright white as soon as a pair of Meta glasses is detected in the vicinity. Under the hood, a commonly found ESP32 devboard suffices for the task, coupled to two lines of white LEDs on a custom PCB. The code is super simple, sifting through packets flying through the air, and lets you easily contribute with your own OUIs (Organizationally Unique Identifier, first three bytes of a MAC address). It wouldn’t be hard to add such a feature to any device of your own with Arduino code under its hood, or to rewrite it to fit a platform of your choice.

We’ve been talking about smart glasses ever since Google Glass, but recently, with Meta’s offerings, the smart glasses debate has reignited. Due to inherent anti-social aspects of the technology, we can see what’d motivate one to build such a hack. Perhaps, the next thing we’ll see is some sort of spoofed packets shutting off the glasses, making them temporarily inoperable in your presence in a similar way we’ve seen with spamming proximity pairing packets onto iPhones.

Your home is under constant threat from the elements—but especially from water. From roof leaks to burst pipes—water damage is the second-most claimed loss on home insurance policies, just below “wind and hail.” In fact, there are way more losses due to water damage than fire.

And the most troubling aspect of water damage is how silent it can be. You can have a leak for a long time before the damage becomes bad enough to notice. And even if you know you have a water leak somewhere, locating it can often be difficult because water can travel a long way from the source before making its presence known. That’s why you need these five kinds of leak detectors on hand, so you’ll know when a damaging water leak erupts, and be able to find it quickly to minimize the damage.

Moisture alarms

Step one is to have water detectors with alarms set up around the house in places where leaks are probable. These alarms are typically wifi-connected and simply detect moisture beyond a normal level, ringing out an audible alarm and sending a message to your devices warning you of a leak. Having them placed in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, basements, attics, and anywhere else where the home comes into contact with water means leaks will be noticed right away instead of slowly destroying your property over weeks, months, or even years.

These alarms can often be combined with networked shutoff valves that will automatically turn off the water supply when a leak is detected. That way, even if you’re not home, the damage from a leak will be minimized.

Moisture meter

As useful as leak alarms are, they can only help if present where a water leak occurs—and they only tell you that there’s water, not where the water is coming from. Sometimes the source will be obvious, of course—if the alarm placed near your toilet goes off, chances are good that it’s your toilet doing the leaking. But if the leak begins with a pipe in your wall, one tiny spot on a large roof system, or underground, you’ll need some help locating it.

A moisture meter is a must-have for finding leaks. It’s a simple device that measures the amount of moisture trapped in a material, like drywall or flooring. By taking multiple readings throughout an area, you can pinpoint where the water is concentrated before you start tearing things open to effect a repair, saving you time and money.

Endoscopes

Sometimes you need to see inside the spaces and voids of your home to find a water leak. If you suspect a pipe is leaking in the walls, for example, and you’re getting some confusing moisture meter readings, it might be time to reach for one of the most useful tools you’ll ever own: an endoscopic camera (aka, a borescope). This is a small, flexible camera that can be inserted into a small space and fished around, allowing you to see what’s behind a wall, under a floor, or inside a soffit in your home without ripping everything open. If there’s no obvious way to insert the camera, you can usually drill a small access hole that can be easily repaired later, and the video feed will let you inspect all those pipes to see where the water’s coming from.

Pipe locator

A pipe locator is exactly what it sounds like: It locates the hidden pipes feeding water into and taking water out of your house, which are often inside walls, under floors, or buried underground. If you’re trying to figure out where a leaking pipe might be located, this tool can be invaluable, especially if other options haven’t worked.

They’re not cheap—this one from Rigid is one of the more affordable options, and it’s about $1,800 at the time of this writing. But you can easily spend $1,000 or more if a plumber comes out to locate and fix your leaking pipe, so if you’re comfortable fixing the leak yourself, a tool like this will pay for itself eventually because you’ll be able to isolate the leak, turn off water to just that area, and effect the repair.

Part of the magic in the hugely popular Grand Theft Auto (GTA) video games is how well they pack pop-culture parodies into their virtual worlds. Like, between normal songs, the in-game radio stations have talk shows and ads that sound like they could be real until you pay attention. A gaming and tech enthusiast in Germany has taken that meta aspect to another level, building a Raspberry Pi-based device that lets him use the in-game radio in his car in real life.

This little 12-volt-socket-powered dongle has a surprisingly polished appearance with a tiny display for each game radio station and a handy knob to cycle between them. The audio and icon files are stored within the device.

A Raspberry Pi is just a tiny computer with no screen, body, or peripherals. Tech hobbyists like them because they’re small and inexpensive, but powerful enough to do computer processing.

The GTA radio stations have themes just like real ones—there’s a pop channel, a country channel, an angry-screaming-pundit channel, and many more. But the DJ interludes and commercials are the funny part—they mostly sound like normal radio chatter, then veer into wacky/raunchy/unsubtle culture-mocking.

As for listening to the game radio stations in a real car, the cheapest and fastest way to do it would probably be to simply cue up a YouTube video about the game station you want to hear (there are a bunch on YT) and beam it to your car through Bluetooth like Spotify or Netflix or whatever app you normally listen to.

However, the custom-made solution we found today is far cooler. As outlined on the YouTube channel Zeug und Kram (which means “stuff and junk” in German), the setup here is essentially a 12-volt charger and Bluetooth radio transmitter mated to a Raspberry Pi with a tiny circular screen on top, all neatly integrated together in a rather elegant 3D-printed housing.

The video we’ll embed below explains how it came together. It’s also outlined on Instructables if you want to try and replicate the project yourself. Objectively speaking, it’s not particularly useful per se, but it’s a great execution of a creative idea.

If you don’t speak German, YouTube does a good job of auto-translating with closed captions (hit the gear button to find that menu).

VITURE has now launched Luma Ultra AR glasses, which pack in Sony’s latest micro-OLED to go along with spatial gesture tracking thanks to onboard sensor array.

Priced at $600, and now shipping worldwide, Viture Luma Ultra is targeting prosumers, enterprise and business professionals looking for a personal, on-the-go workspace.

Notably, these aren’t standalone devices, instead relying on PC, console and mobile tethering for compute, which means they integrate as external (albeit very personal) monitors.

Luma Ultra is said to include a 52-degree field of view (FOV), Sony’s latest micro-OLED panels with a resolution up to 1200p and 1,250 nits peak brightness. Two depth sensing cameras are onboard in addition to a single RGB camera for spatial 6DOF tracking and hand gesture input.

Unlike some AR glasses, which rely on slimming waveguide optics, Luma Ultra uses what’s called a ‘birdbath’ optic system, which uses a curved, semi-transparent mirror to project the digital image into the user’s eyes. It’s typically cheaper and easier to manufacture, and can also reach higher brightness at the expense of more bulk and weight.

The device also includes an electrochromic film for tint control, myopia adjustments up to -4.0 diopters, and support for 64 ± 6mm interpupillary distance (IPD).

In reality, the company also launched a slate of AR glasses alongside it, which are targeted at consuming traditional media, positioning Viture Luma Ultra the company’s flagship device.

Check out the full lineup and spec below:

Viture Luma ($400), Luma Pro ($500) and Luma Ultra ($600) are all estimated to ship within two weeks of ordering, with the next device, Luma Beast ($550) slated to ship sometime in November.

None of the devices above (besides Luma Ultra) include spatial tracking due to the lack of depth sensors, however Luma Beast is said to come with the same micro-OLED displays as Luma Ultra at a slightly larger 58-degree FOV and an auto-adjusting electrochromic film for tint control.

This follows the news of Viture’s latest funding round, which brought the San Francisco-based XR glasses company $100 million in Series B financing. which the company says will aid in global expansion of its consumer XR glasses.

For the past years people have been collecting disposable vapes primarily for their lithium-ion batteries, but as these disposable vapes have begun to incorporate more elaborate electronics, these too have become an interesting target for reusability. To prove the point of how capable these electronics have become, [BogdanTheGeek] decided to turn one of these vapes into a webserver, appropriately called the vapeserver.

While tearing apart some of the fancier adult pacifiers, [Bogdan] discovered that a number of them feature Puya MCUs, which is a name that some of our esteemed readers may recognize from ‘cheapest MCU’ articles. The target vape has a Puya PY32F002B MCU, which comes with a Cortex-M0+ core at 24 MHz, 3 kB SRAM and 24 kB of Flash. All of which now counts as ‘disposable’ in 2025, it would appear.

Even with a fairly perky MCU, running a webserver with these specs would seem to be a fool’s errand. Getting around the limited hardware involved using the uIP TCP/IP stack, and using SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol), along with semihosting to create a serial device that the OS can use like one would a modem and create a visible IP address with the webserver.

The URL to the vapeserver is contained in the article and on the GitHub project page, but out of respect for not melting it down with an unintended DDoS, it isn’t linked here. You are of course totally free to replicate the effort on a disposable adult pacifier of your choice, or other compatible MCU.

Since I fell in love reviewing the ReMarkable 2 in 2020, I’ve had one wish for the Norwegian whizz kids behind this state-of-the-art e-ink tablet: Make one like this but smaller, please.

Why? Because while it’s nice to write on a super-slim, silver, LED-free “magic legal pad from the future,” as I still call it, there are times when the form factor of a legal pad feels like too much. Use one on a plane tray table, for example, and you might feel exposed to the prying eyes of seatmates. Then there’s the portability factor: An e-ink notebook/sketchbook you can just slip into your pocket like a smartphone, rather than tote it around in a laptop bag, seems like a no-brainer.

[…]

With the launch of the Paper Pro Move ($449 with regular Marker stylus, $499 with Marker Plus, available for order now on Remarkable.com), we have a 7.8-inch notebook screen that’s satisfyingly small and portable. Amazingly, ReMarkable has done this while retaining all the Paper Pro’s color e-ink functionality — and the aspect ratio of its pages.

I’ve been using the Move for two weeks, and I very much like what I’m seeing. Because here’s the ingenious part of the Move’s design: ReMarkable didn’t opt for the form factor of a regular old Kindle (or a medium Moleskine, to put it in paper notebook terms). Instead the company drew inspiration from something so obvious, this reporter has smacked his head that he didn’t think of it: the classic reporter’s notebook.

[…]

It’s not just that reporter’s notebooks are longer and thinner, all the better to take fast notes while on your feet at a press conference. It’s not just that a thinner device is easier to stuff in your pocket (some pockets, to be fair, are too small to fully contain the Move). It’s also what a longer, thinner design means in the context of ReMarkable world.

[…]

In portrait mode, the Paper Pro Move automatically fits the page to the screen. (It also pins the menu bar to the top of the page, which makes more sense than left or right.) If you go back and forth between portrait and landscape mode, you’ll probably be able to tell which mode any particular notes were written in; the words might look too small or too large in the other mode.

Personally, I’ve really enjoyed writing in tight, tiny lines in portrait mode, as if I’m trying to save paper, and quite enjoy how that looks in regular (landscape orientation) size. But your writing mileage may vary. And if you’re using ReMarkable’s highly effective handwriting-to-text conversion feature, the size of your scrawl may not matter at all.

Your battery mileage will vary too In my enthusiastic testing, the battery life came nowhere close to ReMarkable’s claim that it can last a full two weeks. To be fair, this is going to depend largely on how much you use the e-ink backlight (which also seems improved, and more evenly distributed around the screen, than in the Paper Pro). If you’re not going to use the backlight at all, two weeks of battery life seems a reasonable expectation.

ReMarkable Paper Pro Move comes with caveats

The form factor of a reporter’s notebook isn’t great for everything you can do on an e-ink screen. Many PDFs and EPUB files will look a tad too small in Portrait Mode, so you either have to flip the screen and scroll a lot, or mess around with pinch and zoom. That, unfortunately, is not helped by the one thing that still feels buggy about e-ink screens: if you’re moving through or around pages too fast, they can’t always keep up. A slow refresh rate can have you scrolling through pages faster than you intend.

If you’re used to LED-screen smartphones rather than Kindles, say, this may be an exercise in frustration. Also frustrating is the color refresh problem that carries over from the Paper Pro: Any color you use that isn’t black has to flash on and off. But if you’re new to ReMarkable world, and to writing with e-ink, you’re going to be pleasantly surprised at how fast and natural writing itself (in regular black on white) feels.

You’ll have to decide whether to go naked without the Folio covers, which cost extra, or spend up to $100 more to protect your screen from whatever scratch-creating objects might be in your pocket or bag.

[…]

There’s one final caveat on cost. if you want more than your 50 most recent documents to sync to other devices (including the ReMarkable desktop, iOS and web app readers), you’ll need the ReMarkable Connect service. This is free for the first 100 days, and costs $2.99 a month or $29 a year thereafter.

Conclusion: This notebook is magic

Ultimately, the proof is in the writing. And I have been writing, in more places than ever: On planes, on trains, in automobiles (I don’t recommend the latter if you get carsick easily, but the desire was there). I’ve written in bed while disturbing my partner less. I’ve pulled it out of my pocket in waiting rooms; I’ve jotted notes on it while friends I was having coffee with were busy typing “just one quick email” on their smartphones.

The best notebook or writing tablet, to paraphrase a common saying about cameras, is the one you have with you. And the ReMarkable Paper Pro Move is a notebook you’re going to want to have with you, for the sharpness of the result as well as the portability factor. If you’ve got room in your pockets for a second gadget to tote everywhere like you tote your smartphone, and if you’re prepared to leave your wallet a little roomier, then this may be the Move.

Now let’s hope it’s a little more durable than the ReMarkable 2, which busted the USB port, the power button and cracked the screen when I hauled it around for 2x 2 weeks holiday.
