I have to admit to being half temped by this #crowdfunding campaign for a low-cost low-power laser engraver - but there's a lot of smoke in the demo videos and no mention of any kind of safety features... https://www.hackster.io/news/the-anylaser-x1-desktop-engraver-aims-to-prove-that-anyone-can-have-a-laser-219ba409943b #Technology #News #Hackster

    Keyboard and, of late, mouse maker Keychron has "opened" the design files for 83 of its models - kinda. They're all in a GitHub repo, you see, but they're "source available" - you can look at 'em for educational purposes, use 'em to make non-commercial mods and add-ons released freely to the community, but you can't do anything commercial. (I'm typing this on a Keychron, matter of fact - they're pretty good keyboards.) https://www.hackster.io/news/keychron-s-nick-xu-releases-keyboard-mouse-design-files-but-warns-they-re-not-open-source-b99f8f4f421b #Technology #News #Hackster
