Here, there, everywhere a new encryption app. Now there’s SuchCalls, a project helmed by hacker and privacy advocates Jered Morgan and Teli Tuketu that brings the underground art of phone phreaking to the masses in a (somewhat paradoxically) encrypted fashion. Not only are there easter eggs planted via various numeral combinations, but users can pay for calls in Dogecoin. SuchCalls also offers blocked caller ID unmasking, in-call recording, and phreaker “bridges”—conference lines for anonymous, encrypted conversation.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
