## Summary

Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi discuss a week of hacks, including a pico balloon shot down by the US Air Force, a NASA SLS rocket noise study, and modular furniture systems like Open Structures. They explore data storage on YouTube and VHS, AI-generated Pong on a Raspberry Pi Pico, and a fake CO2 monitor that is actually an alcohol sensor. The episode highlights Precious Plastic's work in Indonesia creating prosthetic limbs from recycled plastic, Linux audio mixing with PipeWire, and the retro Nintendo Robo.
