## Summary

Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Dan Maloney discuss a variety of hardware hacks, including Radamir Dopirowski's 'Pew Pew' Circuit Python game console, Kenneth Hawthorne's DIY glass sintering with a laser cutter, and Apple's $49 rental toolkit for iPhone repair. They also cover Mark Mariano's use of 3D-printed boats and other tech to scare birds from the toxic Berkeley Pit, and 'Flowering Elbow's' massive DIY industrial CNC built from steel I-beams. The episode concludes with discussions on COBOL compiler maintenance and the paradox of choice in streaming media.
