    A rare working Apple-1 signed by Wozniak just sold at auction for $1,148,200.

    Thirteen years after selling at auction for $686,000 in 2013, a working Apple-1 computer, originally owned by Fred Hatfield, just sold at auction again through Bonhams for nearly twice that amount. The machine is especially rare because it’s signed by Steve Wozniak who hand built its motherboard and includes a letter signed by Steve Jobs offering Hatfield a hardware upgrade.

    Arduino’s new $34 webcam brings computer vision to its Pi-like microcomputer.

    You can use it as a regular USB webcam on Windows, macOS, or Linux PCs, but Arduino’s new plug-and-play accessory is primarily designed to work with computer vision models running on the UNO Q or Ventuno Q microcomputers. It’s got a built-in microphone so additional audio hardware isn’t needed and a touch-dimmable LED ring around the lens with an adjustable color temperature.

    Sony’s new wireless mic system could lure pro shooters away from DJI.

    With features like 32-bit float recording, 64GB of redundant storage on each transmitter, threaded connectors for wired lavalier mics, a 500 meter range, and a receiver that interfaces through the Multi Interface Shoe atop Alpha cameras, Sony’s new $399.99 ECM-W5 wireless mic kit could be a tempting alternative to DJI’s offerings for videographers with more professional workflows.
