Hackaday Podcast Episode 361: Hackaday Podcast Mailbag, A Phone Is Not A Computer, 3D Printing History Is New Again Join Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi as they cover their favorite hacks and stories from the week. The episode kicks off with some updates about Hackaday Europe and the recently announced Green Power contest, as well as the proposal of a new feature of the podcast where listeners are invited to send in their questions and comments. After the housekeeping is out of the way, the discussion will go from spoofing traffic light control signals and the line between desktop computers and smartphones, all the way to homebrew e-readers and writing code with chocolate candies. You’ll hear about molding replacement transparent parts, a collection of fantastic tutorials on hardware hacking and reverse engineering, and the recent fireball that lit up the skies over Germany. The episode wraps up with a fascinating look at how the developer of Pokemon Go is monetizing the in-game efforts of millions of players. Check out the links below if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments! Download this episode in DRM-free MP3 so you can listen to it while doing unpaid labor in _Pokemon Go_.

Quick battery test to see how well a single 18650 battery holds up with a #raspberypi5. The final solution would be to solder it to the pi but this should give me an idea of battery life. #hackaday #prototype
