    Intel wants to go back to space with Starfire-branded chips.

    Intel has put chips in many a spacecraft. Until 2012, the International Space Station had 16MHz Intel 8086 chips as its primary brains, then received an “EPIC” upgrade to 266MHz Intel Pentium. Now, Intel is publicly marketing cut-down Panther Lake chips for private space industry too.

    Insta360 just released 3D models of the Luna cam — so anyone can 3D print accessories for it.

    Want a cool accessory that fits the Luna Ultra and/or its detachable screen? Bambu’s new contest is incentivizing makers to build some — there are already 23 new designs. Make your own by building around the 3D models, or just using ’em to punch a camera-sized receptacle in your design.

    There are more files than these — the clip-on piece in the modular parts file looks particularly useful for amateurs like me!

    Today I’m toying with Beni, the jumping camera robodog.

    ICYMI, here’s my story, and I have new impressions indoors: Beni is… not great at tracking people inside my dim house, but obstacle avoidance works. When I held the joystick forward (after setting speed low), Beni automatically navigated my hallway. At walls, it automatically U-turned and kept going instead of getting stuck.

    Valve just open-sourced its e-ink screen for the Steam Machine.

    As spotted by Brad Lynch, you can now find the complete instructions, files, and BOM to make the screen we saw at Valve HQ, which it’s now calling the “Inkterface.” (It was previously the “Mango Frunk,” likely a reference to MangoHud.) It uses a battery for power. If you’re not feeling DIY, Jsaux is working on one.

    The e-paper display that Valve internally built for this Steam Machine displays system stats like CPU and GPU temperature and fan speed.
