This week, Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Contributor Emeritus Kristina Panos chewed the fat about the coolest hacks of the previous week. But first, a bit of news -- our Low Power Challenge fizzled out this week, and boy did we have a lot of entries at the last minute. We love to see it though, and we're going to get judging done ASAP.

Don't forget, this weekend is Hackaday Berlin! Livestreaming for this one may be iffy, but we'll have the talks up for you eventually, so don't fret too much if you can't make it in the flesh this time.

Kristina definitely got What's That Sound this week, but her answer will of course be bleeped out. Then it's on to the hacks, beginning with a 6DoF controller that does everything in interesting ways and a printed shredder that eats like a goat. From there they cover bolt dispensers, coffee grinders with Bluetooth weighing, camera calibration, and a 50-pen plotter that's definitely a hack. Finally, we discuss the virtues of physicality when it comes to SIM cards and recorded music.
