Tiny Code Reader: a $7 QR code sensor

news.ycombinator.com James Bowman 2025-09-01 07:22:51

Tiny Code Reader (TCR) caught my eye when it came out in 2023. It’s a very appealing idea: a self-contained seeing module that just decodes any QR code it sees. I immediately imagined applications in desktop manufacturing, a subject very dear to my heart. You can buy it from Adafruit, Sparkfun, and elsewhere. There’s a main page with a clear getting started guide, and a datasheet. Because it uses the Qwiic connector standard, setting it up is a breeze . It plugs directly into I²CDriver or I²CM

Because there are no separate “upload” and “download” steps, sending with Blip can be at least twice as fast as many other services. The recipient will start receiving right away rather than having to wait for you to finish uploading. Now, Blip might seem like magic, but it can’t break the laws of physics!

It's Wise to Wash All Produce, but These 12 Fruits and Veggies Are the Dirtiest

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-01 06:47:00

Cleaning your fridge and freezer is important to do every so often, but what about the food sitting inside it? Specifically, that bottom drawer, where fruits and veggies go to retire. Even the healthiest-looking produce can carry unwelcome hitchhikers like dirt, bacteria and trace pesticides. Now, don't freak out. According to the USDA's Pesticide Data Program, over 99% of tested foods were well within the EPA's safety limits -- and more than a quarter didn't have a speck of pesticide residue.

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-01 10:15:31

Now that SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and president Donald Trump are no longer seeing eye to eye, it sounds like the White House is working to undercut the richest man in the world's revenue from Washington.

Many Lung Cancers Are Now in Nonsmokers. Scientists Want to Know Why

Annie Chen first noticed she was unusually short of breath in 2017, while running to catch the bus home to New Jersey from her job in Manhattan. She told her primary care doctor, thinking of her father, who died of lung cancer at 71. But her doctor told her not to worry — her father was a heavy smoker, and Ms. Chen had never smoked. She continued to have difficulty breathing, but it wasn’t until two years later that a doctor ordered an X-ray, and Ms. Chen was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.
