## Summary

Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi discuss the release of an electrically activated adhesive by Tesa used in the new iPhone, which allows for non-thermal disassembly. They also cover the source code release of Winamp under a restrictive license, a hack by Beamster to add Apple Find My support to power tool batteries using the OpenHaystack library, and a 14-year-old's autonomous stratospheric glider project called Stratosaur. The episode concludes with a deep dive into Sonya Vasquez's documentation practices for the Jubilee 3D printer and Arya Voronova's bodge-job fix for a noisy switching regulator.
