## Summary

Hackaday editors Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams celebrate the publication's 15th anniversary, noting over 34,000 articles and nearly 1 million comments. They discuss security vulnerabilities in the ESP8266 and ESP32 Wi-Fi stacks discovered by Mateus Eduardo Garbellini, which Espressif has patched in the official SDK. The hosts also review several community projects, including a custom USB cable build by Joseph Adamchick, a giant SCARA drawbot by Alex Weber, and remote-controlled RC cars modified with ESP8266 modules by surrogate.tv.
