Sudo friends - I'd still like to spend time introducing FPGA technology to the room. I'm available one or more of this Tue, Wed, Thu. michaelz and David, you still each have the pico2-ice that I gave you, right? Can you bring them in one of these days? I'll probably come in Wed, since I still have a ton of questions about LoRa, MechCore, and/or Reticulum. - Larry

Beyond40@SudoRoom 7/18: Exploring FOSS Firmware/BIOS + AMA w Coreboot dev

by michaelz

Ever wondered what runs your computer before the GNU/Linux even starts? Most people don’t realize that proprietary firmware can control your device in ways you never intended. Join us for a meetup focused on free BIOS and firmware this Saturday at 7pm. The event will feature presentation and an AMA with a Coreboot developer. We will discuss the security and freedom issues imposed by proprietary firmware blobs like Intel ME, how Coreboot addresses these issues, and how we can build libre systems on non-x86 platforms. Attendees are welcome to bring their laptops to get help on flashing Coreboot or me_cleaner. https://gath.io/o9y69Xnw7ZoWuPc_Ra3YH Best, michaelz

Interview Request – Understanding FDM 3D Printing User Experiences and Material Needs

by Eunyoung Oh

Dear Sir or Madam, Hi, I'm Eunyoung Oh, and I am a Post Doctoral Researcher in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea. Our team is currently participating in the 2026 Public Technology-Based Market Exploration and Startup Support Program at the UCB . As part of this program, we are conducting short interviews with experienced FDM 3D printer users to better understand their printing experiences, challenges, and material needs. We will be staying near Berkeley for three weeks in July and participating in a training program at Berkeley Haas. The interview will take approximately 10–20 minutes and will cover topics such as printer usage frequency, printing environment, common difficulties, and the advantages and disadvantages of the filaments currently being used. Your experience and insights would be highly valuable to our research and startup exploration activities. If you are available, we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to arrange an interview at your convenience and would be grateful for the opportunity to visit at a time that is convenient for you. (Zoom or Teams are available) If you are not the appropriate person to contact, we would also greatly appreciate it if you could recommend someone nearby who frequently uses FDM 3D printers. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. We look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Eunyoung Oh Eunyoung Oh Center for Composite Materials and Concurrent Design / Post Doc. 81307 Research Complex 1, 2066 Seobu-ro, Jangan-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, #16419, Republic of Korea Tel +82-31-299-4067 Mobile +82-10-2836-1521 Email ey0208(a)skku.edu

OpenWrt and radio night attendance

by Larry Doolittle

Friends - (1) For those of you running OpenWrt, please note that today (Jul 1) the openwrt.org team released OpenWrt 25.12.5. It includes three "Critical" security updates. I already updated my home Wi-Fi. :-) (2) I'd love to come in to radio night tonight and get some help making MeshCore work on my Seeed T1000-E. Also chat about other topics like reticulum. But my body isn't up to the drive. :-( I've seen people connect to the room AV system over jitsi. Could I try that, as a second-best scenario? Can someone send me a link? - Larry

Question about Bluetooth Signal

by danarauz

Hello everyone, If you are bored and have nothing better to do, would tell me if the device (door/gate sensor) at the URL below has a way to have its BLE signal be emitted out via an antenna? https://fccid.io/UDX-60084030/Internal-Photos/Internal-Photos-4879760 A few days ago I asked AI and said something a long the line that it was a delicated thing to do because of the heat could damage other components. Anyways, feel free to email me directly if you want to share any info or have questions. Thanks!
