You don’t always need much to build an FPV rig – especially if you’re willing to take advantage of the power of modern smartphones. [joe57005] is showing off his VR …read more Continue reading 2022 FPV Contest: ESP32-Powered FPV Car Uses Javascript For VR Magic
There are adults out there driving who were born after Google Earth came out. Potentially distressing facts aside, those who were around to remember the magic of scrolling in and …read more Continue reading Choose Your Own Vector Map
As the browser becomes more like an operating system, we are seeing more deep features being built into them. For example, you can now do a form of assembly language …read more Continue reading WebGPU… Better than WebGL?
Mozilla has fixed three high-severity flaws with the release of Firefox 81 and Firefox ESR 78.3. Continue reading Firefox 81 Release Kills High-Severity Code-Execution Bugs
Sometimes the best you can say about a project is, “Nice start.” That’s the case for this as-yet awful DIY 3D scanner, which can serve both as a launching point for further development and a lesson in what not to do.
Don’t get us wrong, we have plenty of respect for [bitluni] and for the fact that he posts his failures as well as his successes, like composite video and AM radio signals from an ESP32. He used an ESP8266 in this project, which actually uses two different sensors: an ultrasonic transducer, and a small time-of-flight laser chip. Each was …read more

Firefox is to stop using the privacy-busting canvas-based browser fingerprinting that allows websites to track users’ online activities. Continue reading Firefox Bolsters Privacy, Pulls Plug on Browser Canvas Fingerprinting
We keep seeing more and more Tensor Flow neural network projects. We also keep seeing more and more things running in the browser. You don’t have to be Mr. Spock to see this one coming. TensorFire runs neural networks in the browser and claims that WebGL allows it to run as quickly as it would on the user’s desktop computer. The main page is a demo that stylizes images, but if you want more detail you’ll probably want to visit the project page, instead. You might also enjoy the video from one of the creators, [Kevin Kwok], below.
TensorFire has …read more
Everyone knows that writing programs that exploit the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) in your computer’s video card requires special arcane tools, right? Well, thanks to [Matthew Saw], [Fazil Sapuan], and [Cheah Eugene], perhaps not. At a hackathon, they turned out a Javascript library that allows you to create “kernel” functions to execute on the GPU of the target system. There’s a demo available with a benchmark which on our machine sped up a 512×512 calculation by well over five times. You can download the library from the same page. There’s also a GitHub page.
The documentation is a bit sparse …read more
