Big news from TechFest Maker's Lab at the Computer History Museum! We explored a family-friendly, hands-on event where local makers, tinkerers, and small creators showcased what they build—no corporate booths, no keynotes, just real people who love making things. In this video, you’ll see: - A soldering station where beginners can badge a PCB robot - A giant working Macintosh replica built to scale and fully functional - PewBot, an educational, codeable robot for kids that loves to dance and even plays soccer - A 3D printing booth with VR pinball controllers and 3D-printed guitars - A full tour of Maker Nexus, plus their summer camps for all ages - A quick revisit to Apple’s 50th anniversary exhibit We chatted with the makers behind the giant Mac and the Maker Nexus team, sharing our honest take: this cozy, family-style event is one of the best experiences to inspire kids and spark creativity in neighborhoods.

Most people who own a Thread device have never heard of Thread. They bought an Eve sensor, a Nanoleaf bulb, or a Yale lock. It connected instantly. It responds in milliseconds. It still works when the internet goes down. They went back to living their life. That's Thread doing its job correctly — invisible, reliable, and fast enough to never be the reason something didn't work. 🏠 Thread vs OpenThread: Clear This Up First Two names, constant confusion. They are not the same thing. Thread is the standard — an open specification maintained by the Thread Group defining how low-power IPv6 mesh networks operate. It's the definition of what the network must do: self-healing mesh, IPv6-native, no single point of failure, AES-128 encryption end to end. OpenThread is the implementation — the open-source software stack, originally built by Google's Nest team, that runs the Thread specification on actual hardware. Thread is the recipe. OpenThread is the kitchen that m...

In the 1970s, a small group of engineers designing the internet made a decision that seemed absurdly generous at the time. They gave the network 4.3 billion addresses. Four billion. For a research project connecting a few dozen universities, that was infinity. Nobody in that room imagined a world where a single household would burn through forty of them — a phone, a laptop, a TV, a thermostat, a doorbell, a dozen bulbs, a watch, a speaker in every room. That world arrived. And when it did, the internet quietly ran out of room. 🌐 The Short Version IPv4 's 32-bit address space gives 4.3 billion unique identifiers. The central pool ran out in February 2011. Regional registries fell one after another: Asia-Pacific in April 2011, Europe in September 2012, Latin America in 2014, North America in September 2015. No fresh addresses left. The market responded the way markets do when something runs scarce: IPv4 addresses became an asset class. A single address that traded for ~$5 ...

Excited to share our latest YouTube deep-dive: Inside TechEx 2026 — 8 Stages, One Massive Tech Reveal. We traverse TechEx North America 2026 in San Jose, exploring AI & Big Data, IoT, Cyber Security, Digital Transformation, Data Centers, Intelligent Automation, and Edge Computing across eight stages and hundreds of booths. Highlights include HP Cypher printing construction blueprints, GXO Robotics, Sober Life AI, Unitree Robotics dance demos, immersion cooling, LG CNS smart factory dashboards, IBM x Ferrari F1 sim, and more. We weigh TechEx’s strengths in networking and programming against the need for more hands-on demos, comparing it to Sensors Converge and sharing a frank, first-timer perspective. Watch the full walkthrough and timestamped insights here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G1Waa5qO-I If you’re building the future of IoT, AI, and industrial tech, this is a must-watch.

Excited to share our very first company site visit and interview! We spent an afternoon at Toborlife AI in Mountain View, the North America distributor and developer for Unitree, getting an up-close look at their full robot lineup and talking openly with their CTO about where humanoid robotics actually stands today. No hype, just real engineers discussing what’s hard, what works, and what’s years away. Highlights include: - G1 Humanoid full walkthrough - Unitree quadruped for security, gas detection, 4-hour battery - XR teleoperation that maps your movements to the robot in real time - Honest insights on manipulation, pricing, data privacy, and realistic timelines This was an unpaid, non-sponsored visit—channel-first and candid. Watch the full tour and interview to get the real story behind the tech, the partners, and the roadmap for home and enterprise robotics. Would you like more company visits like this?

You already own a Bluetooth mesh network. You just don't know it. If the lights in your office building dim automatically when the sun comes out, or the LED fixtures in a supermarket report their own energy use back to a dashboard, there's a decent chance a few thousand nodes are quietly relaying messages to each other over Bluetooth right above your head. Not the Bluetooth in your earbuds. Something fundamentally different. 📡 The Short Version Bluetooth mesh is a separate spec, built on BLE's radio but operating nothing like classic Bluetooth. BLE connects two devices — pair, hold a link, talk privately. Bluetooth mesh is a broadcast model: a device shouts, any node in earshot repeats it, that relay is heard by more nodes, who repeat it again. The message floods outward until it arrives. No pairing. No central coordinator. No center at all. The network scales as far as there are nodes to carry it — not as far as one radio can shout. Managed Flooding: The Be...
