It's #Hackster round-up time on this cheery Monday, and we start with a new update to the #Arduino Cloud - bringing nice quality-of-life improvements, like undelete, but more importantly an actual proper dark-mode theme.

Arduino Cloud Gets a Dark Mode, Temporary Trash Can for Easy Undeletion, and More in New Update

No more blinding white at o-dark-hundred, no more fat-fingering what you're deleting, and less tab-swapping, Arduino promises.

Then a look at an open-hardware "zero-power" badge, based around the Raspberry Pi RP2040.

The trick: it's "zero-power" for its core functions, thanks to a passive NFC chip and an ePaper electrophoretic display. If you want to use the microcontroller, *then* you need power.

Kai Pereira's Ticket-Shaped Raspberry Pi RP2040-Powered Badge Boasts a "Zero-Power" Design

Passive NFC and an ePaper display mean that the core functions of this game-jam badge don't rely on a battery or external power source.

And finally, the SediCi PC - a retro-styled microcomputer implemented on a low-cost #FPGA, and built around a custom 16-bit CPU.

Yes, you can download the Verilog.
