A late #Hackster round-up today, as it's a busy day and it's taking a while for things to get published - I'm prepping for my trip to Embedded World next week by doing additional articles *this* week to lighten Future Gareth's load.
There's still one waiting to go live, but let's start with what's there: the Aliro smart-lock standard, which is basically Matter for locks, Puts the key in your phone's wallet.
Then the CyberBrick, a neat #RaspberryPi Zero 2W and M5Stack Cardputer-Adv portable terminal with a custom-built metal housing...
...and that display (actually the deck itself) isn't connected to the keyboard (the Cardputer) - you can separate the two and they'll work just fine anyway.

Canonical says 2026 is the Year of the Linux Desktop... on RISC-V hardware.

Cool, sounds good to me.
A basic but handy project next: replacing the AA batteries in a wireless keyboard with a lithium pillow and USB Type-C charging.
WARNING: There is an embedded video which has an atrocious and entirely unnecessary AI-slop thumbnail. I did not see said thumbnail until the article was already written.
STLs and a build guide next for 3D-printing your own fixed-wing uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV). Almost the whole thing bar the electronics is 3D-printed, in lightweight PLA (LW-PLA) - except for some carbon rods to strengthen the wings.
If you have a 3D printer that can *print* carbon rods, I wanna see it.
Good news from #Arduino next: there's a new firmware for most of its u-blox NUNA-W102-equipped boards which allows you to use both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy simultaneously - instead of having to choose one or t'other.
I say "most," because there's not enough SRAM on the Arduino UNO Wi-Fi R4 to actually make use of the new feature. All other models - MKR, Nano - are fine!
