## Summary

Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Christina Panos discuss the stunning first images from the James Webb Space Telescope and compare them to Hubble data. They review winners of the 'Odd Inputs and Peculiar Peripherals' contest, including the Keybon macropad, Creeboard, and an exercise bike gamepad, before examining hacks like Benson Kraft’s scratch-built guitar and a 3D-printed microscope lens adapter. The episode also covers open-source firmware for the PinePhone LTE modem and the history of video phones.
