## Summary

Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi discuss a variety of hardware hacks, including Anders' low-tech wooden robot that feeds a wood-fired boiler, the OpenWRT project's plan to release its own reference hardware, and Hash's DIY method for decapping ICs using fuming nitric acid. They also cover Jenny List's praise for USB-C Power Delivery, Cork's power correlation attacks on ESP32 flash encryption, and the new CAMM laptop memory standard, before reviewing Dan Maloney's mobile solar power trailer and the failures of self-checkout systems.
