## Summary

Hackaday editors Elliot Williams, Al Williams, and Tom Nardi discuss Supercon 2023, highlighting the badge's vector scope capabilities and community hacks like Sprite's wireframe Doom port. They review recent community projects, including strategies to reduce 3D printing waste (poop) via slicing logic and filament recycling, a Raspberry Pi 5 power-saving fix, and a homebrew TEM cell for EMC testing. The episode concludes with deep dives into Maya Posch's analysis of Ethernet cable categories and Lewin Day's overview of exotic gyroscope technologies like ring laser and hemispherical resonator gyros.
