In this video, we test out the all new MeLE PCGO2, A Fanless Mini PC Stick with 8GB of Ram and powered by the Intel Celeron J4125 CPU! Capable of 4K resolutions and it runs Windows 10, Linux, and even Android On paper this looks like a nice little totally silent Mini Stick PC but how does it really perform? IS it any better than the Chuwi LarkBox or the Lark Box Pro? test out some 4k video playback from YouTube and PLEX and finally wrap it up with some PC gaming with games like Sky rim, Overwatch, and even CS-GO.
SO is it worth buying? Let’s find out

Web the RIPper
Most people remember bulletin board systems as having chunky text-based graphics. One developer tried fixing that, but RIPscrip ran head-first into the web.
Today in Tedium: Bulletin boards, love them or hate them, quickly became relics of their time for a few reasons. One of the most visible, for obvious reasons, was the graphics. Say what you will about the gracefulness of a text interface with colorful ANSI graphics, but for many consumers, it could simply not compete with the literal photos and graphical user interfaces of the World Wide Web. Bulletin board operators, some of whom had built out sizable businesses around their onetime hobbies, were aware of this problem, though, and were trying to help build a second life for their systems that modernized them for the next generation. And that meant getting graphical. Problem was, the digital climate was moving too fast even for nice graphics. Today’s Tedium talks about efforts to give BBSes graphics and why RIPscrip, as the most popular effort was called, might have been secretly ahead of its time.
WhatsApp Halloween-Themed RFID Talking Doorbell w/ RGB Eyes
Despite the fact that making a hilarious yet not deceitful joke with a jack-o’-lantern on Halloween night is not unobtrusive, I decided to create an exceptional event for my guests on Halloween when they ring the doorbell by designing a jack-o’-lantern doorbell with intriguing features. And, not surprisingly, I only let some of my closest friends know about my new doorbell features by giving them registered RFID tags (entrance permits) to make my other guests frightened even a little bit 🙂 In detail, this doorbell talks to the guests and informs the user via WhatsApp when the guests ring the doorbell or show RFID tags or cards.
First of all, to make the doorbell talking with the guests after an interaction, I generated voices from texts for each occasion I wanted the doorbell to talk. You can get more information about how to create voice files over text files in the following sections.

DOOM on the Nintendo Game and Watch
A lot of people asked for it – and so here it is: DOOM running on the Nintendo Game and Watch. This took far more effort than I expected, but I hope you enjoy it.
Plex – HDR to SDR Tone Mapping
This feature allows Plex Media Server to maintain high visual fidelity of content, by applying tone mapping to convert it to SDR when transcoding HDR content.
The GPRino is a $300 ground penetrating radar
Ground penetrating radar systems, which can be used to sense the density of objects under the Earth, are normally seen as a fairly exotic piece of equipment. Naturally, such devices cost thousands of dollars. Mirel Paun’s “GPRino” prototype, though, aims to accomplish this viewing task for the comparatively paltry sum of $300.
The GPRino uses antipodal Vivaldi antennas to see into the ground, under control of an Arduino Mega. Onboard visualization is handled by an LCD shield, and collected data can also be transmitted to a PC for further analysis.
This Oscilloscope Tester Keyring Puts ‘Scope Troubleshooting Powers in Your Pocket
The Engineering Octopus has launched a keyring with a difference: As well as helping you keep track of your keys, it doubles as a means to quickly test an oscilloscope — hence its name, the Oscilloscope Tester Keyring (OTK).
“All electronic engineers love to show off the fact that they are electronic engineers, and what better way to do that than with a keyring! Not only will the bare electronics be noticed by many, it’s also a fully functional oscilloscope tester,” The Engineering Octopus founder Max writes. “The OTK generates a pure, analog, sine wave (via a Colpitts oscillator) at approximately 10MHz (+/-2MHz). It has a DC offset, which allows you to test almost all functions of a oscilloscope, and carry it with you everywhere you go!”
α-WaLTR Turns It Wheels Into Triple-Bladed “Legs” to Navigate Uneven Terrain — and Even Stairs
Built as part of a military program but with wide-ranging use-cases, α-WaLTR goes where other wheeled robots fear to roll.
Researchers at Texas A&M have designed a compact four-wheeled robot for whom stairs and other uneven terrain pose no problems — thanks to wheels which can transform themselves into “legs” on demand.
Dubbed α-WaLTR, for the Adaptable Wheel-and-Leg Transformable Robot, the robot has been built as part of DARPA’s Offensive Swarm-Enabled Tactics (OFFSET) programme under the leadership of grant awardee Associate Professor Kiju Lee. “Through this new project,” Lee explains, “I will develop unmanned ground vehicles with agile and versatile locomotive capabilities for urban military operations.
This PS1 Secret Feature remained hidden for 26 years… Until now
The original Playstation 1 had a secret feature that not many people knew about, until now. You probably played PS1 way back in the day & wish you found out about this.. It’s absolutely top secret.
