## Summary

Hackaday editors Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams review a week of hardware hacks, highlighting a dough sheeter project by Alex that uses 3D printed gears to roll croissant dough, and a roundup of five power latching circuits by Chris Kiamenti for low-power microcontroller designs. They also discuss the Raspberry Pi 4's USB-C power and dual HDMI features, the spoofing of presidential alerts via SDR, and a 'Fauxberry' project by Arturo 182 that repurposes a Blackberry keyboard with a Feather microcontroller. The episode concludes with an analysis of AI art criticism, a massive mirror system for lighting dark rooms, and the search for the Apollo 10 lunar module 'Snoopy'.
