Andrew “bunnie” Huang is a guiding light in the world of privacy-friendly, verifiable hardware, and has just concluded a successful Crowd Supply campaign with Dabao – an evaluation board for the Baochip-1x. This chip aims to standardize security-friendly practices across the tech industry, by opening up secure features that typically require steep prices and NDAs. It’s easy to inspect with infra-red in-situ (IRIS) imaging, and also sports a memory management unit (MMU) and a BIO (Baochip I/O) coprocessor. And the Dabao board is designed for flexibility and fun! Learn all about it in this casual interview, hosted by Hackster Pro Partner Alex Glow.

![🟧 Nordic Thingy:91 X // Tech Highlight with MoonMakers [English]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e0rPq_eSDZM/mqdefault.jpg "🟧 Nordic Thingy:91 X // Tech Highlight with MoonMakers [English]
Hackster PRO Ana Camila Luna Lopez, co-founder of MoonMakers, give us a rundown of all the cool features of Nordic Semiconductors Thingy:91 X.
The Thingy:91 X is a battery-operated prototyping platform for cellular IoT based on the nRF9151 system-in-package (SiP) supporting LTE-M, NB-IoT, GNSS and NR+, and certified for global operation. It is an ideal device for rapidly developing any cellular IoT concept, and is especially suited for asset tracking applications due to its multiple location tracking methods in conjunction with nRF Cloud Location Services. The Thingy:91 X is also equipped with a series of on-board sensors that monitor environmental conditions and movement.
