Wiegand effect used to power IoT devices? AI on a z80, you bet! New predictions for 2026 on Wi-Fi and Rust in Safety-Critical Systems. Finally, what’s the difference between MicroSD and MicroSD Express? – Cabe
This brief tutorial explains how the “Wiegand effect” can be used as a reliable, low-cost, energy-harvesting system to power a variety of IoT applications.
A developer came up with a way to run an AI tool on a Z80, with the goal of determining whether it can be trained and fine-tuned under extreme constraints.
In 2026, several key developments will impact Wi-Fi, from wider Wi-Fi 7 infrastructure adoption to new peer-to-peer capabilities and advances in sensing and locationing.
As safety-critical industries move beyond experimentation and toward production-grade adoption of Rust, 2026 marks a pivotal transition from promise to practical assurance.
