## Summary

Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Mike Szczys review a diverse range of hardware hacks, including a 7-color E-Ink photo frame by Charles Lore, a human-scale Styrofoam ultralight aircraft by Peter Shripole, and a computer vision tool for mapping Christmas lights. They also discuss the Raspberry Pi 400, flexible ultrasonic motors from Kyushu University, and the implications of Facebook's new privacy policies for the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset.
